Game of Fantasies Episode 8: The Man Who Pays Them


[Rockson Stark]
What I'm about to tell you..
Mustn't leave this room. Not yet anyway.
Robert Baratheon has no trueborn sons.
Evan and Tommen, are Tai Luunister's bastards.
Evan has no claim to the throne.


[Ken Baelish]
So that means...

[Rockson Stark]
It means Vic Ambrose should be King.
Robert Baratheon's brother.

[Ken Baelish]
So it would seem... unless...

[Rockson Stark]
There is no unless.
He is the rightful heir.


[Ken Baelish]
He cannot take the throne without your help.
You would be wise to deny it to him and make sure Evan succeeds.


[Rockson Stark]
Do you have a shred of honor?

[Ken Baelish]
You are Hand of the King and Protector of the Realm.
You have the Commissioner Rights to the league.
All the power is yours.
You need only... reach out and take it.
Make peace with the Luunisters.


[Rockson Stark]
Make peace with the Luunisters?
The people that tried to murder my boy.

[Ken Baelish]
We only make peace with our enemies.
That's why it's called making peace.

[Rockson Stark]
No. I won't do it.


[Ken Baelish]
So war, then?

[Rockson Stark]
There's no other choice.
Vic Ambrose is the rightful heir.

[Ken Baelish]
So tell me then.
Why did you call me here?
Clearly, not for my wisdom and Fantasy expertise.

[Rockson Stark]
You promised Catelyn you would help me.
I need your Fantasy Team.
The Queen's team and her royal guard would defeat mine.
But if we combine teams..


[Ken Baelish]
Look at you.
You know what has to be done.
But it's not honorable, so the words stick in your throat.
When the Queen proclaims one King
and the Hand proclaims another...
Who's peace do the Fantasy Managers of West Coasteros protect?
Who do they follow?
The man who pays them.














































Next Week... He arrives.

FXT Week 7 Recap: Money in the Bank


[Renee Young]
Welcome to the Money in the Bank Preshow.
Later tonight we have the FXT Championship match between Kevin Waiting and Shinsuke Nickamura.
And of course, we have the Money in the Bank Ladder match as well.
But for now, we have a Pre Show match that nobody cares about!
So instead, we cut to an interview with Kenn Balor.


[Interview Lady]
Kenn. I think the entire FXT Universe is talking about your actions on Preview.
When the battle lines were drawn, Inactive Lives Matter vs. Active Lives Matter.
A lot of people wanted to know, are you in cahoots with the Bullet Club?
It appeared that you helped JJ Styles and sided with Active Lives Matter.
So the entire FXT Universe wants to know.
Where do you stand on the issue?


[Kenn Balor]
You know, Interview Lady. Everyone wants to make a big deal out of my actions.
About which side I am on.
The only side I am on, is the side tat Kenn Balor is on.
Inactives Lives or Actives Lives.
It doesn't matter.
Like I said before, I am here for one ting and one ting only.
To be the 2016 FXT League Champion.
When I came out during Preview, I saw an opportunity to be the last man standing.
I saw an opportunity to take out every single one of my opponents in the Money in ta Bank Ladder Match.
I took that opportunity. And I don't regret anyting.

[Interview Lady]
Well then, Kenn.
I think the next logical question is..
Will you work with JJ Styles to eliminate the competition tonight?

[Kenn Balor]
Well...


[Dolph Riggler]
HEY!
I'm onto you, Kenn.
I know you're working with JJ Styles.
I know you're in cahoots with the Bullet Club.
So I want you to know, Balor.
I don't trust you.
And I will be gunning for you tonight.


[Kenn Balor]
You know what, Dolph?
That's perfectly fine by me.
Mistrusting me is the wisest ting you could do.
I live by one code and one code only.
DTA.
Don't trust anybody.
