WWE 2K23 MyGM Mode: Here Comes New Challengers! Wednesday Night War Season 3.5 Weeks 1-5!

[@jacegarcia3255]

Dan and Laurie are finally gonna feel the pain of "WHY AREN'T THE GRIVALRIES ROWING!!!"

[@gregtaylor1753]

Happy to see British wrestling legend Kendo Nagasaki front and centre with Luke.

[@ollieb1625]

Glad someone else recognised it!

[@kieranmorton1139]

British wrestling legend Kendo Nagasaki believes in Luke ❤

[@lowweeze]

Laurie’s music choice is great! Dan has a gf? Never assume is the lesson.

[@TheOffOne11037]

Never thought I’d be invested in a near 3 hour VOD

[@m1kend75]

3 tips.... 1. When starting a new season, always check season goals. 2. When booking, always book logistics 1st. 3. To get rivalries, call outs, run-ins & special matches.

[@JamesIcy]

Starting and continuing this series (including this spin off,) was an amazing decision! You guys are the best at this content, please never stop! 😂🙌

[@GazJones1987]

Never knew how much I needed Dan trying to vibe with a massively resistant Laurie. Love, love, LOVE My GM mode on Wrestletalk 😂

[@stevefarris3862]

Well, this season is definitely different! Pete and Luke yelling and screaming. Why won’t the rivalries grow!- Lorie gets a rivalry instantly, I don’t like that rivalry, I’m going to squash that now!

[@irrsinnrainer]

Couldn't catch it live but now I'm finally home and will enjoy this with a fine beer and some kebab! Really looking forward to this season and the following Triple Threat Season! PS: I have never thought there would be something I enjoy more than Luke air drumming away and pissing off Pete. But Laurie listening to the Mulan soundtrack is up there 🤣

[@MistahJayLove]

Watching this on my 30th Birthday and wanted to give a huge shout out to Laurie for granting my birthday wish of proving OG NXT (Black and gold) IS still provably better than 2.0 (sorry professor Layton) BLAKE AND GOLD all the way!!!

[@larryhimselfIsTrending]

Could you imagine bringing in Ollie Davis as the WCW manager… 👀👀👀

[@jaredstivers]

Like it or Ollie buys WCW and hires the the Loser to become Eric. Or Raw goes against NXT and Smackdown against Nitro. Ollie's WCW and NXT vs Tempest Raw and Smackdown. Now for something completely more exciting. Ollie vs Tempest in the PFN Owner cup. The 4 promotes are ranked. 1st place show gain 4 points, 2nd place gain 3 points, 3rd place gains 2 points and 4th place gains 1 point at the end of the ppv Cycle. And bonus of +1 with the end of the season added to totals. The winner teams win the promotion cup. (If this is a successful and season 5 happens, they get the first draft of GM for the next season.) The GM still are fighting for the Wrestletalk booker of the year award and the bragging rights. Now if they did this, could could come up with Owner power card that are earned through the season. Like, Time Restrictions for a week or added time, allow a week for co-op help booking from a Team, ETC.

[@tobycroxford6100]

Dan the truth looking rattled, stressed and flappy Laurie shouting, getting frustrated and aggressive I love it, the perfect combo 😂

[@timnovak698]

Super glad to hear Wonder Years and Spanish Love Songs called out!!

[@galahadortiz3258]

Laurie needs to learn that the game does not in fact care about what would be a good match in real life.

[@Dreinalus]

This Dan chap bears a passing resemblance to legendary wrestling reviewer and critic Mark Markeson. If he has a thimbleful as much wrestling knowledge, Laurie doesn't stand a chance.

[@corysnapp]

One thing I’ve noticed about Laurie is when he’s winning he tries harder. I feel like we’re in for a treat

[@Thoughtsmith]

DanXT 2.0. Clearly.

[@societyxent.8256]

"Help.... Help!.... Help!" My favorite part of the series so far... #Laurie4thewin!

[@KaneA87]

Love these shows, but if there's any chance if cutting it in to 2 or 3 parts for shorter KZbin video's, then it would be greatlt appreciated. As always, thank you for the content. All the best to everyone

[@Ryan-rh1vc]

I don't mind who wins the season, but Dan was giving a bit of sass towards Luke and Pete's tactics during season 3... 🤔

[@DemolitionZone92]

Love how your talking about Croydon 😂. I used to live there and moved away for the very reasons you've said 😂😂😂 keep up the great content 👌

[@TheBargo123]

Laurie makes Luke look like he's good at this game

[@faithfulone9998]

Laurie doing his best tony khan impression 🤣🤣🤣 I gotta change my booking because I can’t use “insert name?”🤯🤯🤯

[@LangyMD]

That ending with Laurie was excellent.

[@CraigMorrison-c8j]

Surely the name for the tag team of Wes Lee & Randal Keith Orton has got to be "Keith Lee"...

[@thatdapperguy8729]

The Wonder Years! Amazing band

[@TheRabbitman3000]

Good to see Dan has moved on in a healthy way from his poor finale in 2012

[@egjoker3624]

Jive Owen’s certainly looks different to the last time we saw him in one of these series 😂😂

[@theemeraldboars484]

Sitting down with my son, here we go! We're rooting for you Dan, NXTUK just beat ECW in our run, but you will surely defeat classic NXT.

[@martinmortyry7444]

The lack of promos is infurating! Great shows though, Laurie simulates Black and Gold pretty well. As always, rooting for the underdog although I believe Dan would shakeup the Monday War in a very interesting way. Oh, also - the Ma.ce and Jinder tag team should be called Maximum Maharajas - just saying :P

[@Waffels81]

I was so worried that this was going to be a blow out. Nice catchup at the end

[@tonyfowles3851]

Loved this hope we get to see a 4 player GM mode after season 4

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I love how much fun Laurie had every round until the MOMENT he began actually booking the show.

[@SwampMonstah]

NX Texts is good, but i think War Claims would be better for the Wednesday Night Wars

[@robmcscotty2974]

I wanna see (in next season) a 4gm mode...luke vs pete vs (winner of this) vs tempest (to annoy pete by being there for the entertainment of viewers) Note: i am rooting for pete, been rooting for pete...i just enjoy watching rivalries between the gms lol

[@RawPiece98]

I'm 17 mins through this live stream and I'm just hoping that periodically they get signed out because different people are signing in to Luke PS account. Edit: I'd like to add that this whole streamed middle season is an excuse for Pete and Luke to 1. Have a break and 2. Actually get to see how the game is played by people who actually know what they're doing.

[@MultiClassGeek]

Are we sure about point 2? Dan seems to know what’s what, but Laurie looks all at sea… And I know Laurie’s gimmick is pretending not to care, but this could be badly one sided, he won’t have Network Special cards every time…

[@13atkins13]

Just happy to see Candice LeRae finally booked

[@dreadkalibur1613]

Wow! Laurie made a Legit TAKEOVER special out of Backlash! Love to see it! #Black&Gold Also Laurie did the first ever DRAW in the Monday Night Wars history. That's impressive!

[@SleepyGrapes]

I think mr blake would have a better time seeing the screen if he took the sunglasses off 😂😂 appreciate the commitment to the gimmick lol

[@anzamanto4407]

dan is so charming and funny. "I've been trying to make friends my whole life" XD

[@bdub2418]

Idea for season 4: to truly see who’s the best GM knock everyone’s popularity down to 40 and see who can grow their roster

[@SleepyGrapes]

If you do that then the draft isn’t as important the strategy of balancing popularity/stamina/roles/cost is what sets up the start of the series. Good in theory but i think the way they have it is better

[@Winwarddd]

Laurie starting off the season with TWY, my heart ❤️

[@Rand0mHero713]

TWY is beautiful, love Soupy

[@davidasnoddy]

You could consider creating custom wrestlers for Ollie, Sat, Tempest, Sullivan, and either Laurie or Dan (whichever doesn't make it through 3.5) - and add them to the pool of wrestlers to use in the draft.

[@SupportEachOther4ever]

The stream countdown is pretty fire

[@ace-om4gu]

keep up the good work love the content

[@Xkiller59]

Why not DaN-XT 2.0 vs. NXT Blake and Yellow?

[@anzamanto4407]

my man laurie. No one took the time to competently explain the game to him and yet my boy is still winning

[@lukahprimo]

Jive Owens got the Netflix treatment

[@stevefarris3862]

Make season for more fun for you guys by downloading other characters and putting them in the draft- Kenny omega, CM punk, the young bucks, hangman page, Brian Daniels.ect.

[@russpirozek5374]

It's right there, Dan. NXT Truth.0

[@figby]

Dan reacting to System of a Down songs has been a highlight of my year 🤣

[@ritchier3346]

Watching Laurie and Dan not book promos was a bit painful

[@johanmilde]

If nothing else, it does mean some extra stamina regeneration.

[@Prunk09]

Are we going to keep this kind of format? I know the live streams are easier but man the og formula felt like an actual TV show and was much more preferred

[@ritchier3346]

If I was going to make a baseless guess, I think the streams make them more money. This way people can donate and send it chats rather than relying on ad revenue

[@johanmilde]

⁠@@ritchier3346I think that is a reasonable assumption, as well as lowering the costs of production since there’s much less editing involved.

[@johnnyBentonamo]

OMG these jackets are top shelf quality

[@d3gvsdo]

happily days to all of you

[@Lordbeanis]

It might be simply the side of the set that the losing side is sitting on. Pete and Dan sit on the same side and they win each week, coincidence?

[@TheJbones24]

Dan Layton 318 says I got 3 hours and 18 minutes to book your ass.

[@A1Nero]

So…. Did anyone tell them about the double promos to raise the grivalries?

[@GrimdeathGriffin]

We all need another disco ladder match in our lives.

[@psyopticprodigy2427]

10:05 Jive Owens is looking well, uh different lol.

[@hunterhikes5814]

Why aren’t y’all using the ps5 you used during the AEW play through

[@stevefarris3862]

Dan did your girlfriend not like that noise because she’s jealous that she’s never made it?😏 sorry, the joke was right there had to do it.

[@andrewwolfgang7461]

Dan has a power card for free agents and signed a few people without using it...

[@johanmilde]

He did mention that he plans to use it later, after saving up some money - even at 50% off, three free agents in the same week is a bit of an expense.

[@andrewwolfgang7461]

@@johanmilde if they both did free advertising promos to get more money...

[@johanmilde]

@@andrewwolfgang7461 At least we’ve now seen a player actually using a high-popularity, high-skill wrestler for advertising promos, even if it was only for a few shows - I think the overuse of advertising jobbers has given the folks in the PFK office a very skewed idea of how massive the popularity hits are for next-to-no money.

[@tripsix263]

Logan/LA the forshadowing there!!!

[@AaronJamesMediaProductions]

I do the same as Dan with the stip power cards

[@daltondurbin4930]

How do you all only have two shows?

[@danielibarra7455]

The Blake & Gold Brand 🤌🏽

[@Mr.Am-Ace-Ing]

Dan gets introduced with his nickname, but no nickname for Laurie? I smell collusion between the Monday night boys!

[@ianp1986]

Is the whole season going to be done in streams as opposed to half hour or so edited videos?

[@mattrondeau2]

Yeah, they mentioned it on their draft episode that they're doing full PPV cycles as live streams then doing these right after

[@CowabungaMick]

Blake and Gold Vs Truth.0 🤘🏻

[@mailenstein4805]

one hell of a PPV cycle bois! NXT gold all the way. sadly, it also exposed one the games weaknesses. some power cards are to powerful. RNGesus can give you the win, or take it away

[@tahmidhossain2279]

Laurie's music taste is supreme

[@theactualtodd]

Laurie Blake, whom I love, picked a band from Pennsylvania whilst wearing black and gold. This is kismet; Dan has zero chance.

[@andrewwolfgang7461]

They are really bad, so frustrating! I love it

[@ohhhkingslayer]

Laurie keeps wrestling in a high school 😭

[@quothetheraven79]

So did they cancel this?

[@TheIcePirate]

Wish it was the old format, not a live stream.

[@mvpeter]

laurie going throw it so he wil have mondays off in 2024

[@codyhoney9101]

Blake and Gold is going to need a new roster so his stars can rest. Rooting for him but Dan is going to win.

[@laplumemobile]

Dan needs to realize WHY System of a Down is yelling at him. It's like not realizing why we Raged against the Machine.

[@gezza6240]

Just casually mocking where I’m from 😂😂😂

[@ZurgOtter]

Dangit Laurie, stop panicking and pay attention to what you are doing!

[@suNn.K.O]

Kana and Io Shirai having a rubbish match is hilarious to me.

[@matthewaltepeter8941]

1:35:29 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrStrawberry86]

Anyone that would rather it be released in single week cycles for 25 weeks is full on demented

[@joses6196]

NXT DAN POINT OH

[@losertravels]

I popped so fucking hard when Laurie mentioned The Wonder Years, mon eh pop punk

[@drewnicholas2279]

Watching this on Oct 1st Laurie: Dragunov, the least popular man in NXT Sept 30th - Dragunov wins NXT championship 🤣

[@danielward6672]

Why was Laurie helped for the PLE!!!!! If he forgot he forgot!!!

[@saptakbose1265]

Mahal means palace

[@mrosser5170]

AB loyal 😂

[@jonasaugustsson7806]

If someone 20 years ago told me I was gonna watch AND BE ENTERTAINED by a dyed haired man in a rainbow coat, solving crosswords, while another guy played video games. I would be highly sceptical

[@ShaqarudenGames]

Where’s the music? Do the kids just not allowed to have it? lol

[@calebdavis6600]

For Season 4, can you allow the Patreon Supporters to donate money in order to add Create-A-Wrestlers to the roster?

[@QuentinWilson1]

It annoys me that nobody really explained to them on proper ways to book the matches so that way it’s not all piss poor

[@Bulldog93]

for dan it should be NXT truth.0

[@yngprafit2586]

No one who plays this mode uses advertising promos and it’s the best way to get a money boost 😅

[@stevewestwood5799]

If Dan has a girlfriend called Lisa, then he'd like System of a Down.

[@christopherdunstan1519]

Mr. higglesby!!!! hello

Favourite activities in Croydon... Oops...
