I think my brain is starting to replace my memories of Paul Heyman's and Jim Ross's voices with Johnny's imitations at this point, because they just sound completely normal to me now.
2:24:23 as someone whose entry to indie wrestling was DPW, I’m also going to go crazy when they put Je’von in the next game - feels surreal to see him there after seeing him in half-empty barns
Quick note for next season: While the cards you currently have by week 25 won't roll over to the next season, there are exceptions. If you gain any power card on week 25 (due to completing a commissioner goal or challenge), those will be available to you starting next season. So completing the Mania commissioner goal or any challenges you have left on the last week is still useful and worth doing. Also, any asset points you haven't used should roll over next season.
Just as a heads up, when you go to select keepers for the next season, their stamina and morale will reset. Everyone’s stamina will appear to be terrible when selecting them, but when you book your first show, you’ll see it all got reset.
As an addendum to this I'd love if they all just autobooked the first week of a season. Like, obviously they do the draft as normal but then it's down to the (kind of) rando as to how some of their roster is initially paired off out of the gate. Could be a fun twist to things.
@@SadNauseam I'd honestly love to see them do an auto draft season. I've started doing auto drafts myself just to add a bit of variety since I find myself tending to draft the same people otherwise. It's a lot of fun having to just try to make work what I get.
dumb idea i have: next season there should be a First Time Ever Gentlemans Agreement powercard (1or 2 times a season per brand) that you can force the brand of your choice to AUTOBOOK their show for the week and accept the results. Maybe to be fair, cannot be used on a PLE, and cannot be used twice in the same PLE cycle. i remember in 2K23 S1 you guys joked about doing a GA for everyone to autobook in a week but nobody ever did it. it would simply be funny
i hate that the views on this series have gone down because i absolutely love this series and last years so PLEASE KEEP DOING THIS, shit helps me keep sane while doin uni work n stuff so id love this to carry on even if i was the last one watching
32:15 I got the Deep Discounts card on my GM Mode season and was able to get 80,000 fans for free. I forget if it's backstage brawls or casket matches, but you can get 20,000 fans for each. I ended up signing a few jobbers to make it happen, but the card was absolutely worth it.
This tip doesn't have anything to do with booking, but if you make an alternate costume for someone and set it as their default selected costume in the roster options, it actually displays that render for them in modes like GM Mode rather than their normal render. So if you guys make some alts for your gimmicks and set that as the main attire, that's what will be displayed when you guys play this again
I recommend they start over because Johnny is basically playing extreme difficulty because he can’t have women’s division but has to book female matches. You guys are also just spamming regular matches and table matches. Money is so tight that you guys can barely sign superstars or update venues
Something I like to do that I think would be fun for the channel: A Survivor Series Tournament. HOWEVER: only the surviving members of the team advance to the next round- if a wrestler is pinned or submitted he is out for the rest of the tournament. I usually do this in Fire Pro, and you have to keep track of the tournament yourself, but it's pretty fun to observe when you start getting uneven teams and some unlikely short-handed victories!
I hope next year's GM gives you the option to change your brand, change your GM or stay with both. It would add more variety and flexibility to the mode.
I just got done playing through an Extreme Playthrough of MyGM as ECW, and Cap'n Grog was a true top star on my roster! He became a Level 25 Legend and ended up beating other Legends like John Cena, The Rock, and Chad Gable for the World Title in the TLC main event of Wrestlemania, all on his own accord! So don't count him out!
My piece of advice when moving through the season. When you can’t finish a rivalry at a PLE just book the rivals in a Steel cage match. Will end the rivalry & give you fans for each block settled.
I feel like the show notes are worth paying attention to. In Johnny's last show, they mentioned ECW giving them deja vu because he booked all singles matches and there's definitely a mechanic where you get better show quality for a variety of match rules (tags, triple threats etc). Might be a good idea to follow their guidance on other stuff.
I love that Johnny chose T. long as his GM and then just pretends his Paul Heyman every time he books. YOURE TEDDY LONG! Holla Holla Holla! One on one with the DongaTaker!
“Unfortunately” Tamara Tycross reminds me of Marina Shafir in her “The Problem” phase. Hate to see trophy bugs screwing the boys over so bad. I wouldn’t be against just starting another run(after this one season) on an easier difficulty so if technical issues happen they can still be more competitive.
At this point, calling a GM mode episode a "finale" or "second to last" is the equivalent of the giant "Going Out Of Business" banner that's been hanging for 7 years. I'll believe it's over when I see it.
Suggestion an “eyes closed” rule for playing Power Cards it’s obviously an honor based thing but I think it’ll be obvious if someone is retailing preemptively.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Ive already completely forgotten what Paul Bearer and Jimmy Hart actually sounded like.
Jawwny's Jim Ross is literally my default voice in my head for Jim Ross now.
My brain keeps getting longer as the series continues
Does it go as long as Batista's d***?
@@DeadlyWinchesterBronson's is longer.
The long brains need a season 2!
Triple H: Here's a card. Don't waste it.
Jericho: (immediately uses card on Billie Slugger)
this storytelling masterclass is what I watch MyGM for

The duality of man: Jericho both takes forever to book but also makes so many horrible, kneejerk booking decisions.

Bullet Club for Men sounds like a faction that Tony Khan would come up with. Yet, it may be the greatest gimmick of all time

Stone Cold is entering himself into The Road to WrestleMania
no go ahead

Bret Hart!
I said that man's name was Triple H
Michael!

23:26 You did have both Johnny, it was injury one that gave fans for an injury (not multiple) and the Hell in a Cell one.
We need a supercut of all the mouth noises Johnny makes when he's thinking about something
Lmao I'm sorry!!! I'm stressed!!!

Jericho creative genius. His ideas get most of the thumbnails. Lol
02:01:15 Fucking Doink..lol
Hopefully Adam remembers that power cards don’t carry over between seasons and uses one of the special promotions before and during mania
Big time Bald Headed Behavior in this one boys
jericho not taking that shakeup card is somehow the most insane thing in this series
I think I found that WWE ID joke from Johnny much funnier than everyone in the call.
27:37 It would be so funny if the shakeup cards granted Johnny’s wish! 😂

they know they did it last year

Noam dar a belly sleeper stretches out his arm and pins cody rhodes so much!
Only partway through the episode but I hope in my heart that Johnny is going to sign Undertaker to job to Wolfgang at Mania
Oh hell yeah I am ready to Catch These Hairs thanks to Bullet Club For Men

DPW got shouted out over the weekend on Busted Open. Was so happy when I heard that
what'd they say?
I need Carlito to be a permanent next season, so that Johnny does the Carlito promos whether he's in a match or even any kind of promo.
This might be my favorite thumbnail ever ngl
Jericho starts talking at 0:08
He's my GOAT
I respect you Bookermen
I hope next year's GM gives you the option to change your brand, change your GM or stay with both. It would add more variety and flexibility to the mode.
I wouldn't mind the ability to create your own brand for next year's my gm

3 hours?! OH! HELL! YEAH!

but this is the second to last episode of the season? im not sure what you mean
Tiffany Stratton and Chelsea Green. Pink and Green. Team Wicked.

You guys are gonna stay broke until you upgrade those arenas more. More fans = more money.
Morale can determine whether someone is available or not available as a keeper option
keep it going forever! lol
YAY! MY COMMENT WAS READ! THANKS JAWNNY!
"Ignition is back..."
"Here comes the ratings"
You didn't have to do him like that Slip ☠😂📊
Okay hear me out…. Stable Wars ECW WWF smackdown mod
TNA had a one match show, triple threat for the #1 contender a 45 min match Rhino Christian Angle i believe
After using cards to great effect early in the season, Jericho has since put on a masterclass of how not to play this game.
Jericho might not win this season but NXT is the winner in my heart❤
Poor Slip that is such a sad ending 😭
Being team Jericho is difficult He manages to throw every single card decision
Nice!
OH HELL YEAH
WARRIORS! WHERE ARE YOU?
WHERE'S KOFI!!!!
Maybe play Ultimate Muscle With the Bois since the new Netflix show dropped
The real question is how long can our brains get 🤔
Sanga and Gunther should be “Indus Sherium”
Dont just do one season, whats the point?
I popped for San of a Gun
It’s still mind numbingly stupid that Jawnny still doesn’t have a trophy. I call that a game bug.
jevon is the fucking goat
I like to imagine Meltzer being the one who gives the match ratings in these games.
Jobbers like jive Owens will grow their mic skill as they become more established. Also Jawwwwwnnnny try booking an inter gender tag match.
😁😁😁😁😂😂😂😂
please watch some matches! Atleast at ppv's
So is this just a MyGM channel now? Can we at least watch a match or two...?
as we have always been, we are a "do what we would like to do and we are having fun doing" channel!
Matches are by far the least interesting thing about GM mode.
