The pyros explode as Jim Ross welcomes us to FantasyMania!
Jim Ross
We are in the sold out State Farm Stadium here in Glendale, Arizona.
Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler as we present to you,
the 12th Anniversary of FantasyMania!
King
And what an anniversary it's going to be!
The Top 6 has been set and it is all systems go!
We have four former World Champions competing
in this year's FantasyMania and with the unpredictability
of the WCC, anything can happen!
The League Championship is up for grabs!
Jim Ross
That's right, King.
Four former World Champions with the like of The Baugh,
Sandy Orton, Single H and Rockson Reigns.
Will the playoff experience prove to be the deciding factor
in this year's 'Mania?
Or will we see a new League Champion crowned
with either John Seana or The Hiz?
King
Speaking of John Seana, we haven't seen or heard from him
ever since he entered the Firefly Funhouse!
There's no indication that he will even be at this year's FantasyMania..
Jim Ross
Well we certainly hope that John Seana is okay,
and will make his return too.
But until then, we can only work with what we have.
Let's take a brief look at this year's Top 6.
One of these fine Superstars will be crowned
the 2020 WCC League Champion!
[1] John Seana (11-2)
[2] Rockson Reigns (9-4)
[3] No Trade League (8-5)
[4] #7tormsComing (8-5)
[5] Joyce's Team (7-6)
[6] Howard's Team (7-6)
WEST COAST COUSINS:
FANTASY WAR
Episode Fourteen - FantasyMania Round 1
The Baugh and Coach Justin examine
the damage done by Donald Trump.
Coach Justin
Baugh, we can't win this one.
Not like this.
We need the WCC Championship.
And you need to go get it.
We don't stand a chance without it.
The Baugh
But what about you guys?
I can't just leave you guys here.
Coach Justin
You're going to have to.
We can try to hold him off as long as we can.
But you need to go..
The Baugh
What about the Time Stone?
Coach Justin
The hooded man has it, not sure where he went.
The Baugh
Protect it Justin.
I'm counting on you. I'll be back.
Narrator
Back in the West Coast Cousins,
CM PUP is found in the locker room by himself.
After a disappointing end to his season,
he sits back and reflects on where he went wrong.
Kenny Omega
You know... our season doesn't have to be over.
You could still join Donald in New York...
we could bring in the Bullet Club and turn this
whole place upside down.
CM PUP
Oh I know, Kenny.
My season isn't over and I am going to New York.
But I'm not going to help Donald Trump.
I'm going to kill Donald Trump.

*Single H's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Welcome back everyone to Wednesday Night Preview.
We return live in Glendale and you are hearing the theme music
to the Chief Operating Officer of West Coast Cousins,
former 3x League Champion, The Game, Single H!
King
Well not only is he is COO of the WCC,
but he's also competing in this year's FantasyMania as the 3rd seed.
Jim Ross
A storied career no doubt about it.
He will be making his 9th FantasyMania appearance this Sunday.
Tied for most appearances in the league alongside CM PUP.
Let's hear what the former World Champion has to say.
Stephaneah McMahon
Glendale, Arizona...
It is Week 14, which could only mean one thing..
it is FantasyMania Season!
*Crowd Cheers*
Stephaneah McMahon
This the 12th year of the West Coast Cousins,
which means we have come a long, long way.
And without a doubt in my mind, this year's FantasyMania
will be the biggest FantasyMania in history!
So what better way to kick off the festivities
than with the creator of this league?
The former Commissioner, 3x League Champion,
and my husband... Single H!
*Crowd Cheers*
Single H
Thank you for that warm welcome and thank you to my wife,
for that wonderful introduction.
When it comes to this league, I've seen it all.
I've done it all. I've been on the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
But trust me when I tell you this..
You do not want to miss this year's FantasyMania.
We are in for one hell of a ride.
Single H
Six of the league's very best competing for one goal.
It is the Showcase of the Immortals!
The pinnacle of our sport.
Those fortunate enough to call themselves League Champions
will forever be immortalized as titans of our industry.
And to my family, the McMahon Family.
I dedicate this year's FantasyMania to my father in law, Vince McMahon.
And to my brother in law, Shane McMahon.
Without the two of you, all of this wouldn't be possible.
So this year, I will be playing in the honor of the McMahon family.
*The Hiz's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Wait a minute now, here comes The Hiz on his way to the ring.
And as the 6th seed this year,
he will be making his 2nd FantasyMania appearance this Sunday.
After a successful title defense in the Fatal Four Way Championship match,
we saw him lose the title at the hands of Rockson Reigns
as Judgement Day went off the air.
The Hiz
Really? Dedicate this year's FantasyMania to an old senile man,
who ran this league into the ground and his young son,
who could never live up to expectations? Really?
*Crowd Boos*
The Hiz
I mean, what kind of a sham are you
running in this Fantasy League?
Rockson Reigns just appears out of nowhere
and steals my WCC Championship?
And you don't even have the nerve to address it?
Rockson Reigns should be suspended for the rest of the season.
We are rewarding petty theft and turning a blind eye
to criminal activity in this league.
What is this? San Francisco?
*Crowd Boos*
Single H
Hiz, I understand your frustrations.
Believe me, I do.
But as of right now, there are bigger issues going on
than your stolen WCC Championship.
The Hiz
Bigger issues? Like what?
This is a joke. Clearly,
you aren't going to do anything about it, "Mr. Authority."
So I'll just have to take care of it myself.
The Hiz
Rockson Reigns! You get your ass out here right now.
I want a public apology and I want you to return my Championship.
And I don't want some half assed Twitter apology.
I want an apology face to face!
And if I don't get one, I will unleash The Fiend on your sorry ass!
Single H
Rockson Reigns is not here tonight.
I sent him home after his actions last night,
and to be quite frank, he earned a first round bye.
He won't be on Preview tonight.
*Crowd Boos*
Single H
But if you got an issue with Rockson Reigns,
and you really want your placeholder title back,
there's a simple solution to your problem.
You beat him one on one in a match at FantasyMania!
The Hiz
Oh wow. Here you go screwing me over again.
And what do I have to do to face Rockson Reigns?
Beat your overrated ass?
I did that 2 weeks ago. I don't have anything to prove!
You're washed up, Single H.
You haven't done anything of significance in years.
You expect me to be worried about you?
If I were you, I'd rescind your dedication to the McMahon Family.
Because once you hit the canvas, you're gonna be embarrassed
that the former Inactive, The Hiz, dethroned "The King of Kings."
Stephaneah McMahon
Hiz, who the hell do you think you are?
You dare disrespect the McMahon name?
We created you. We built you.
Without the McMahon family, you are nothing.
And if this right now, is The Fiend speaking...
How about I slap the living hell out of you,
and then we'll see if The Fiend is still in your head.
Single H
Hold on, Stephaneah. That won't be necessary.
Because as much as we would all love to see that,
I think I'll save the ass whooping for FantasyMania.
I get it, Hiz. You're still riding your high,
enjoying that little title run that you had.
But the fact of the matter is this, in 4 nights,
reality is going to come back to bite you in the ass.
Single H
You can talk about what I've done lately,
but I'll gladly show you that I'm just as deadly as ever.
I tried to do this professionally with you, Hiz.
But if you want to go down that route,
rest assured, I'm still The Game.
Deep down inside, the Cerebral Sandwich is still in there.
I want you to enjoy this little run you've had,
because you've been a thorn in my ass for 3 weeks now.
It's time we stop playing around and it's time we got serious.
I've buried much better Fantasy Managers in this league for less.
Come this Sunday, your season is coming to an end.
And I promise you this, you may step into that ring as a man.
But once you leave it, you won't ever be the same again.
Jim Ross
Powerful words from the COO of West Coast Cousins.
King
I don't think that was the COO, JR.
That was the Cerebral Sandwich.
The Hiz brought it out of him,
and he just may have dug himself into a hole.
Jim Ross
Be that as it may, we're in for a heck of a first round matchup.
The Hiz taking on Single H.
Who will advance to the Semi-Finals?
Find out live this Sunday for the first round of FantasyMania!

*Sandy Orton's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Welcome back on in to Preview,
as we look to our closing segment of the night,
Sandy Orton making her way out to the ring.
The youngest World Champion in League history,
there's no doubt about it, Sandy Orton
has made a huge impact on this league.
As a 2x League Champion, she will be making her 6th FantasyMania
appearance as we draw closer to Sunday.
King
Not to mention JR, she is the first rookie ever to win it all,
when she joined the league in 2012.
Jim Ross
Absolutely King, she is one hell of a Fantasy Manager.
Sandy Orton
It is about that time again.
It is about that time, where the elite of the elite,
show the world why they are the very best at what they do.
Now, I've been to the top of the mountain twice before.
But that's not good enough.
It's not good enough when you want to be universally
viewed as the greatest of all time.
But you see, I'm knocking on that door.
Sandy Orton
Since I've been in this league, I have been the model of consistency.
I've shown my Championship runs were no fluke,
I earned my place in the history books.
And I know if I want to be the greatest, I'll need a few
more Championship trophies to my name.
But it starts with Sunday.
Sandy Orton
Because you see, this year more than any other year..
the stakes are at the highest level it has ever been.
For those of you who are not aware,
there is war going on in New York.
Donald Trump is getting close to achieving his goal,
and what we can do here in the West Coast Cousins,
is to protect the WCC Championship at all cost.
Sandy Orton
Which is why I'm going to do everything in my power
to be named the 2020 League Champion.
That way, when Donald Trump comes after me...
I'll kill him with my bare hands.
*The Baugh's Music Hits*
King
Ahh! It's The Baugh, JR!
He's here on Preview!
Jim Ross
With just four nights away, the 2018 League Champion,
The Baugh, has arrived on Preview,
ahead of the biggest night in Fantasy Sports history.
An inaugural member of the West Coast Cousins,
The Baugh participating in his 6th FantasyMania.
And what a storied history he has with Sandy Orton.
The Baugh
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Excuse The Baugh, excuse The Baugh.
He didn't mean to cut you off.
I mean damn, you're The Viper, Sandy Orton!
The Baugh wouldn't cut you off unless he absolutely had to.
And the fact of the matter is this, Sandy Orton.
You're right, there is a war going on in New York.
And The Baugh just came from that war.
The Baugh came back here and for one reason,
and one reason only.
Because...
The Baugh
FINALLY... THE BAUGH HAS COME BACK--
Sandy Orton
No, no, no. You want to do your schtick?
You do that on your own time.
Not on Sandy Orton's time.
Besides, Glendale isn't that great of a place to be anyways.
We were really supposed to be in Santa Clara tonight.
*Crowd Boos*
The Baugh
....
What's wrong, Sandy?
You're giving The Baugh a sour face.
You're not happy to see The Baugh?
You don't want to see The Baugh?
What happened?
You wake up on the wrong side of the bed,
or maybe your cat died?
Or maybe, you were playing around too much last night,
and you've still got that stick up your ass!
*Crowd Cheers*
The Baugh
No, no. Because you see, you and The Baugh.
We've been through it all.
Championship matches, playoff matches,
playoff eliminator matches.
You name it, we've done it.
But you're right about one thing, Sandy.
Donald Trump is more deadly than you
or I could have ever imagined.
The Baugh
I came from New York, I saw him face to face.
And I hate to say it, but The Baugh lost.
And the only reason The Baugh is here now,
is because he needs the WCC Championship to finish the job.
Sandy Orton, you are right.
Whoever it is, whoever is left standing as the 2020 League Champion,
has their hands full.
They are the last line of defense and the only hope for mankind.
Whoever it is, has to be the best of the best.
Sandy Orton
The best of the best.... Baugh, you're staring at her.
Like you, I've seen Donald Trump firsthand.
I know what he's capable of.
And trust me, like you, I've been biting on the chomp,
to get my rematch with the President of the United States.
But I'm not going to do that without the League Championship.
The Baugh
Well, I guess that makes two of us, Sandy.
So how about we do this once more?
Sandy Orton and The Baugh.
The Baugh and Sandy Orton.
Headline the first round of FantasyMania, one more time!
We'll play it fair and we'll keep it clean.
Let's find out who is truly the best of the best.
The Baugh and Sandy Orton shake hands.
Jim Ross
Well that is one hell of a matchup, King.
Sandy Orton and The Baugh going at it once more.
And a sign of maturity between these two competitors,
a sign of mutual respect.
These two are gonna do it the right way,
and by God, I respect the hell out of it.
Sandy Orton hits a RKO from out of nowhere on The Baugh!
Jim Ross
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!What the hell?
Just as I was singing her praises, Sandy Orton
goes and does something like this.
Absolutely uncalled for, King!
King
She's got to take advantage where she can.
And if The Baugh isn't careful, we'll be seeing an encore on Sunday.
Jim Ross
A pure cheap shot by Sandy Orton.
King
You can never trust a snake, JR!
The Baugh should know that.
Sandy Orton
Let's make one thing clear, Baugh.
I'm not your friend.
Right now, the fate of the WCC Universedepends on this year's FantasyMania.
And I don't trust you, or anybody else for that matter,
to protect the WCC Championship.
So I will not hesitate to let you die, if it's between you
or the WCC Championship.
I can't... because the WCC Universe depends on it.
Coach Justin
Okay, listen up.
We don't know where Donald Trump is,
but he will be back.
Stay on your toes and be ready for anything.
Kevlo Stanfield
Who died and made you The Baugh?
Dave Batista
Yeah, I didn't agree to this.
Coach Justin
Come on, guys.
I'm just trying to rally the troops here.
Give me a break.
Detective Tai
I'm calling for backup.
This isn't good and we don't even know where the Time Stone is.
For all we know, Donald already has it.
Dave Batista
It's with the old wrinkly man.
Detective Tai
And where's he?
Proud Boys
Alright boys, party's over.
Law and order is here.
Coach Justin
Who the hell are these guys?
The Proud Boys arrive in New York,
led by Jack Welker.
They surround the West Coast Cousins.
Jack Welker
Alright now.
Y'all got one chance to hand over the Time Stone.
Otherwise, we blow you socialists sky high, you hear me?
Dave Batista
Coach, what do we do?
We're outnumbered.
*CM PUP's Music Hits*
CM PUP
IT'S CLOBBERIN' TIME!
