Hey heads up! You might need to break one of your rules at some point. The don't play more than 1 power card in a week. One of the GM trophies you can get is to use 3 GM cards a week for 5 weeks. So I say if that does show up at some point definitely the rule must be done.

[@mackenzierants]

Ouff if that happens I'll poll you guys and let the comments make the decision there!

[@robertbarrows4795]

@@mackenzierants no doubt good luck! I think you should try to find Kane at some point and have the brothers of destruction handing out beatings lol

[@mackenzierants]

@@robertbarrows4795 Ou that's a popular suggestion. If I can save up some money, or get a home coming card, I'll make the search for him!

No worries about the restart, we're only Human😉 It's an uphill battle but looks like a lot of fun! Keep rockin' Mac!!

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you! You're always one of the most positive people here, I appreciate that!

[@biancawelch9412]

Second times the charm❤. Commissioner goals is something I consistently forget about myself.

[@mackenzierants]

Haha thank you, I'm hoping so! I'm trying to make sure to head back and check the main screen before advancing every week lol.

[@ittguy7080]

lol to the intro. right choice to start over. good lucl this time!!

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

I just finished binged watching your NXT series & currently following the smackdown series. I gotta say maybe for this one, don’t go too crazy for the penalty for not completing HHH commissioners goal. If you’re unable to complete it I would like to suggest to not use the power card in that current week + you can’t buy new power card in the current week & next week. I think that should be a hefty penalty for you. Anyway, love the series. I watched it whenever I’m on my meal break or short break at work(lol that’s why I managed to finished binge watching your series in over 1 week ++). I wish you & the channel all the success!

[@mackenzierants]

I appreciate the support and I hope you've enjoyed the content so far! As for the penalty, I'm going to do my best not fail it again lol...but just in case, I had the person who suggested that challenge, give the verdict on what the penalty is. This is what they said: "Starting over is long so penalty for hhh failure is not allowed to buy power cards for two weeks nor use any"

[@KareFreeTheOne]

Love that you drafted Ivy Nile.. and to see her being successful already. Keep up the good work!

[@mackenzierants]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Nile and Jordynne Grace face off was really cool at the Rumble, and I want to give Nile a little push!

[@nathanwarren2610]

Starting over is long so penalty for hhh failure is not allowed to buy power cards for two weeks nor use any

[@mackenzierants]

You gave the idea, so going forward this will be the penalty! ... Hopefully we won't need to use it though haha. Thanks again for the idea!

[@Joao-td9hp]

So we have a fresh start ok I wasn't expecting it so I spent about 5 minutes trying to understand if you had clicked on the wrong video; Well, at least now ECW won't be the success machine it was. Anyway things are interesting now and the video was very good of course

[@mackenzierants]

Haha sorry for the confusion! And thank you for your continued support!

[@brianarmstrong6426]

Another idea for power cards is if you buy it, you must play it that week. And no power cards that affect the other gms at any point. I’m still not a fan of 1 power card per week.

[@mackenzierants]

If enough people feels this way, I'll consider changing it. I want to make this as challenging as possible and this rule is key. But like I said, if enough people want a change, I'll do it. I'm a man for the people haha.

[@m1j1browning]

To answer your question about PLEs, the middle match literally doesn't matter. All that matters is match 1 needs to be better (or equal) than match 2, and match 5 needs to be better (or equal) than match 4. For that reason I always put what I suspect will be my 3rd best match in the middle to give the Main Event/Opener a better chance of outscoring the matches around them.

[@mackenzierants]

Ok cool that's good to know. I've had people say that the 3rd match needs to be better than the 2nd and 4th. I always thought that was silly.

[@steve2275]

thank you

[@SCBaseball18]

I do enjoy the redraft after each season. Since the popularity impacts their costs, it kinda keeps things fresh so the shows draft different people

[@mackenzierants]

It's true! In the Bloodline series, I just finished up and did the season 2 draft just for fun and the first 3 picks from the AI were all from my show. It's fun!

[@thomashicks3106]

If you picked Chelsea green, her being annoyed would suit her on screen character...lol

Hahaha that's a really good point! I feel like that's a missed opportunity by me haha.

Uh oh, did I do a heel vs heel again...lol

[@DMachoMickey]

@@mackenzierants I think near the end of the video you were considering looking for a female heel for your roster, so I was lobbying for my girl Cinnamon. I’m her “advocate”, lol! I also drive her to the arenas because she isn’t allowed to drive because she can’t see with those bangs. 😆

@@DMachoMickey Hahahaha I feel that's a great reason to give her a shot then!

I don't either. I tend to use all my promo slots on call outs because I need to build those rivalries.

[@brianarmstrong6426]

Some superstars start out annoyed if they don’t get drafted as early as they thought they should. This is a theory, but seems to have some truth behind it

[@mackenzierants]

Even if it's just a theory, it's a good theory and makes a lot of sense!

[@KaitainCPS]

Nah, not true. It’s just random. Interesting idea, though.
