Narrator
So... it's been about 10 years
since I made the biggest mistake of my life.
Narrator
I was apart of a team...
And at the time, it was just an idea.
But we all knew... we all knew
that it could become something more.
The company that oversaw my team had a vision.
They had their view on how they wanted my role to
function within the larger dynamic. But I wanted more.
Narrator
I guess you could say... I was hard to work with.
But the ideas that I brought to the table..
could've changed the trajectory of the entire franchise.
But instead of listening to me, they fired me.
They replaced me with some other hack,
who isn't even half as talented as I am.
Narrator
In hindsight, I missed out of a multi-million dollar opportunity.
But I couldn't get myself to do it.
They wanted me to be a company man.
Yes sir, no sir.
Make funny little quips and
become a puppet just so they can make more money.
What they went onto do without me... simply astounding.
Eventually, they got bought out by an even bigger corporation
run by an evil little cartoon character.
But I missed out on my opportunity...
Narrator
I am Jack's sense of regret.
The Baugh
Well, the important thing is that you learned from your experience.
We've all made mistakes.
Every single one of us has made a mistake.
But it doesn't matter what our mistake was.
The only thing that matters, is how we respond to it.
The Baugh
Are we just going to sit there and let our mistakes dictate who we are?
I say hell no.
You did the hardest part.
You took your lumps, cut your losses,
and accepted your situation.
The Baugh
And that's it. Those are the brave baby steps that we've got to take
to make ourselves whole again.
Nobody in life is undefeated.
We all take our losses and we all fall.
But you've got to accept it.
And you've got to move on.
The Baugh
You have to move on...
The Baugh
The world is in our hands.
It's left to us... and we've got to do something with it.
Otherwise... Donald should've deported us all.
Carson Wentz
Seriously? That's it?
That's all you got to say?
We've sat here all night waiting for your
big speech and that's all you've got?
What a load of horseshit!
The People's Champion...
The million dollar microphone.
And that's the best you got?
Carson Wentz
I mean, this is all about self-acceptance, right?
You actually believe that shit?
No matter what we do, no matter how bad we fuck up,
we're just supposed to accept?
I mean, you screw over John Seana.
Get your skull cracked by Single H,
and then, you lose the WCC Championship to Donald Trump.
And now... because of you, half of America is GONE!
Everything that I have ever cared about is gone.
Ruined, turned to shit. Dead!
All because you screwed John Seana.
And what? You just want us to accept?
The Baugh
Hey...
Carson Wentz
That's it? That's all you got to offer?
Accept the Mustang Challenge, right?
Carson Wentz
You're pathetic.
You're a fucking joke.
But no, you wanted to be selfish.
I am here because of you, Baugh.
I have never been more alone... I have nothing. No one.
Alright? It's gone.
And the only thing you can tell me, is to accept?
Carson Wentz
The Eagles organization wanted me to accept too.
They wanted me to accept that Jalen Hurts was their future.
They wanted me to mentor that son of a bitch.
Do you believe that?
But you want to know what I did about it?
You think I accepted the situation?
Hell no, I forced my way out of that shithole.
Got myself to Indy and you know what?
I just threw 3 fucking touchdowns this past week.
You think I did that by accepting my situation?
The Baugh
Come on, Carson...
Carson Wentz
No, you know what?
You want to know why I'm even here in the first place?
Why I come to your shitty AA meetings about nothing?
It's not to listen to you pathetic assholes talk about
how shitty your lives are since The Deportations.
No, I came here to sell you meth!
You're nothing to me but customers!
You depressed fucks need a high to get away
from your pathetic little lives.
I made you my bitch!
You okay with that? Do you accept?
The Baugh
No.
Carson Wentz
About time.
Joe Russo
Hey guys... I'm gay, by the way.
Narrator
Nice. Real subtle.
After a disastrous meeting,
The Baugh retreats to his office, only to find an envelope on his desk.
Everything you need to know is inside
this letter.
Your Secret Friend,
Noah.

Episode Ten - Bad Blood
*Nick Foley's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
We are live in Phoenix, Arizona for Week 10 in the WCCF,
as Commissioner Foley makes his way down to the ring.
And King, we wonder what Commissioner Foley has in store
for next upcoming Pay Per View, Bad Blood.
King
How is this guy not fired yet?
Nick Foley
You know, it's been a few of weeks since I've come out here on Preview.
And in that time, I've had the opportunity to reflect
on the current state of the League.
Nick Foley
First and foremost, when it comes to the playoff race,
I can tell that it's going to come down to the wire.
Over the course of the last few weeks,
we've seen Superstars on the bottom find a way to fight and claw
their way back into playoff contention.
Guys like Single H, John Seana, Underchucker continuing to fight.
Nick Foley
Meanwhile, you've got a few early front runners starting
to see their stock take a hit.
Guys like The Baugh and Victor Angle,
who now find themselves on the bottom, clinging onto their season.
And then of course, we have the WCCF Champion, Santa Clara Lesnar.
Santa Clara Lesnar, who last night won her 8th straight and who...
*Steve Pupstin's Music Hits*
*Crowd Cheers*
Jim Ross
Uh oh... we know what happened the last time these two
were in the ring together.
This could go south very quickly, King.
Jim Ross
Remember, it was just 5 weeks ago when Commissioner Foley
suspended Stone Cold Steve Pupstin.
And since then,
Pupstin has been on a rampage tearing up the entire league.
Steve Pupstin
Nick Foley, while you're out here flapping your gums
talking about Superstars on the bottom fighting their way back to the top,
I couldn't help but notice that you happened to forget to mention one name.
And that name is, Stone Cold Steve Pupstin!
*Crowd Cheers*
Nick Foley
Well, Steve. As a matter of fact, I didn't-
Steve Pupstin
I wasn't done talking yet, you dumb son of a bitch.
You neglected to mention Stone Cold because you've still got it out for me.
When you suspended me at 1-3, you were ready to call it.
You figured, my season was done.
Isn't that right, Nick?
Nick Foley
As I was trying to say, I haven't forgotten about you.
And I don't hold any grudges with Stone Cold.
To be honest, it's quite impressive that you've managed
to weather the storm and now find yourself in the Top 3.
Despite everything, you've done a hell of a job so far.
Steve Pupstin
I've done a hell of a job....
Coming from the son of a bitch that tried to end my season.
You saw what happens when you play with the rattlesnake,
and you know what I've done to the McMahon Family.
So you stand there with your beady little eyes and
now you want to play nice with old Stone Cold.
But you know what I think?
Steve Pupstin
As the WCCF Commissioner, if you were truly impartial,
then you would recognize that Stone Cold has worked his ass off.
And it's about damn time that I got a titleshot!
*Crowd Cheers*
Steve Pupstin
So if you wanna see Stone Cold Steve Pupstin
vs. Santa Clara Lesnar, give me a hell yeah!
Crowd
HELL YEAH!
Nick Foley
I don't disagree with you, Steve.
And I think you've got to start trusting me.
I don't have anything against you.
And I do believe that you've earned a title shot.
So this Sunday at Bad Blood,
these people are gonna get exactly what they want.
Stone Cold Steve Pupstin vs. SC Lesnar for the WCCF Championship!
*Crowd Cheers*
Steve Pupstin
Just like that?
Stone Cold vs. SC Lesnar?
Nick Foley
Just like that...
With the exception of one stipulation.
If I grant you this match, then you don't lay a hand on me ever again.
Steve Pupstin
Well if that's all there is to it...
then you got yourself a god damn deal.
Stone Cold vs. SC Lesnar for the WCCF Championship
and you can bet your ass that you're staring at the next WCCF Champion,
and that's the bottom line cause Stone Cold said so!
*Crowd Cheers*
*SC Lesnar's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Oh, now what?
The WCCF Champion alongside that weasel, Paul Heyman.
I'm no fan of The Baugh,
but in my eyes, The Baugh was cheated out of the WCCF Championship
all thanks to Paul Heyman.
Paul Heyman
Stone Cold, while it's cute that you have the support of all these fans,
there is one thing that you'll never have.
And that's the WCCF Championship.
You see Pupstin, this version of SC Lesnar
is one that you have never seen before.
Paul Heyman
She is a conqueror!
And no Fantasy Manager has even looked remotely close
to the same level as Santa Clara Lesnar this season.
Eat. Sleep. Conquer. Repeat.
Santa Clara Lesnar has laid waste to 8 victims this season.
And by stepping up to the plate, Pupstin,
I'm afraid you're just another victim.
This Sunday at Bad Blood, you will be beaten and battered.
Victimized and utterly humiliated at the hands of The Beast.
Stone Cold, this Sunday, it's not a Championship match.
It's a massacre!
Jim Ross
Stern words from the mouthpiece of SC Lesnar.
But say what you want, Heyman may be right.
With the exception of The Baugh,
SC Lesnar has been walking through her opponents this season.
How will Stone Cold fair against The Beast?
My God, we'll have to find out this Sunday at Bad Blood.

*Rock Michael's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
As we return to WCCF Preview,
The Rock Breaking Kid, Rock Michaels,
making his way down to the ring and check out this ovation, King.
King
They love him, JR.
Jim Ross
An amazing performance last night from Rock Michaels.
Finding the will to survive and defeating Kevane in one on one action.
Despite falling behind on Thursday Night,
you've got to admire the heart of Rock Michaels.
Rock Michaels
Ladies and gentlemen, we are 5 weeks away from
the biggest show of the year.
We are officially in FantasyMania season!
*Crowd Cheers*
Rock Michaels
I don't need to remind you all what it means when
Mr. FantasyMania makes his way to the big dance.
But I'll be the first to admit, the last few FantasyMania
appearances didn't go so hot for yours truly.
But ya know, this season has been about survival.
When my back's against the wall, I find a way to win.
When my #1 pick goes down with an injury,
I find a way to pull it together. Next man up.
Rock Michaels
After last's night win, I'm feeling as hungry as ever.
I've found the fountain of youth and I'm ready to take on all comers.
Kevane, let's do it again.
Let's put on a show for all these people in Phoenix, Arizona!
Kevane vs RBK, right here, right now!
Let's do it, come on!
Best out of 3. Let's go!
Jim Ross
That's a great idea!
I think these fans in Phoenix would love to see that.
One hell of a callout by Rock Michaels, but will Kevane acept?
*Chris Vinson's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Wait a minute... wait just a damn minute.
King
This isn't Kevane.
Did Kevane change his entrance music?
Jim Ross
You know damn well that Kevane didn't change his music.
Jim Ross
It's Chris Vinson, but I have no idea what he's doing out here.
Frankly, he has no business being in the ring right now.
Chris Vinson
Just shut your mouth, Rocky boy and listen to me.
You think all these ass clowns came out to see you? Huh?
Uh, uh. All of these ass clowns came out to see Chris Vinson.
The King of the West Coast Cousins!
*Crowd Boos*
Chris Vinson
You see, last week on Preview I started a list of reasons
why I am better than Stone Cold Steve Pupstin.
But you know what? I can list off another few hundred reasons
why I am better than you too.
First off, I'm more charismatic than you.
I score more Fantasy Points than you.
And most importantly, I am better looking than you!
*Crowd Boos*
Jim Ross
Oh please...
King
Come on, JR.
who do you think is better looking?
Jim Ross
Oh, stop it.
King
Oh, you think Rock is better looking?
Jim Ross
I don't think I'm qualified to judge in that category.
King
Are you sure?
The Baugh called you a fruitcake, remember?
Chris Vinson
But in all seriousness, Rock.
I think it's an absolute joke that you're in the Top 2.
I mean, let's just look at the facts.
You are in the Bottom 5 in the league when it comes to points,
but somehow, you're top 2 in the rankings.
If that isn't privilege, I don't know what is.
Chris Vinson
You see, guys like me have been busting my ass all season long.
I am having my best year in the West Coast Cousins,
I fought my way to the Top 6.
I am Top 4 in points.
But you? You get spoon-fed the weakest opponents.
You get a free ride to FantasyMania,
but you don't deserve it.
I'll give you your props, Rock.
In previous years, you looked good, hell maybe even great.
It's a testament to the fact that you've won 2 League Championships
and nearly won it all last year as well.
Chris Vinson
But this ain't last year.
This isn't the past, this is the here and now.
And right now, your team is a joke.
You're a shell of your former self.
Look at what you've been reduced to.
Face it Rock, you're finished.
You're not the Showstopper anymore.
For you, the show should stop.
Chris Vinson
You're pathetic, Rock.
You're just an old, vulnerable man who's closer to AARP
than another Championship reign.
You're so weak, I could score Fantasy Points on you right now.
But you know, I'm not even going to waste my time.
Because your performance last night showed me
everything I needed to know.
Chris Vinson
You're not the Rock Break Kid,
you're the Retired Bitch Kid.
RBK hits Vinson with the Sweet Chin Music!
Jim Ross
OH!
King
Wow.
Jim Ross
Rock Michaels nearly took Chris Vinson's head off!
I don't think so, Vinson.
There's a hell of a lot of fight left in RBK.
And Vinson will find out first hand this Sunday at Bad Blood.
*Commercial*
*Commercial*
*Crowd Cheers*
Jim Ross
Uh oh... it looks as if The Baugh has just arrived
at the America West Arena and he looks to be headed this way!
King
He does not look happy, JR.
*The Baugh's Music Hits*
*Crowd Cheers*
Jim Ross
Listen to this crowd, King.
They are on their feet for The Baugh!
A surprising crowd reaction after a valiant effort last night
at No Way Out against Santa Clara Lesnar.
Jim Ross
Say what you want about his actions as of late,
but you have to respect what this young man did last night.
He fell short of becoming the WCCF Champion,
but in my eyes, if it weren't for that damn Paul Heyman,
you'd be looking at the new WCCF Champion.
King
I told you JR, The Baugh is one of the best.
Jim Ross
He's a hell of a Fantasy Manager.
He took SC Lesnar to deep waters at No Way Out
and nearly came out on top.
Interestingly enough, he is out here tonight
without being accompanied by The Corporation.
Crowd
BAUGHY! BAUGHY!
BAUGHY!
The Baugh
FINALLY..... The Baugh...
HAS COME BACK... to Phoenix!
*Crowd Cheers*
The Baugh
First and foremost, this ain't sing along with The Baugh.
So why don't all you jabroni's shut your mouths,
because The Baugh's got something to say.
Jim Ross
Well that's not very nice.
Come on, they were showing you appreciation, Baugh.
The Baugh
Last night at No Way Out,
The Baugh did what no Fantasy Manager has done since Week 1.
The Baugh beat the living piss out of Santa Clara Lesnar!
The Baugh went toe to toe with The Beast,
and showed the entire West Coast Cousins, that she is in fact, human.
The Baugh
The Baugh laid the blueprint down for how to beat SC Lesnar.
And we all know, that if it wasn't for that fat piece of monkey turd
known as Paul Heyman, you'd be staring at the new WCCF Champion!
*Crowd Cheers*
The Baugh
The fact of the matter is,
The Baugh was screwed last night at No Way Out.
So The Baugh says this...
*John Seana's Music Hits*
Jim Ross
Wait a minute... what's this about?
John Seana interrupting The Baugh.
What's the meaning of this?
John Seana
Whoa, whoa... whoa.
Stop the press!
Everyone listen up! The Baugh's got a grievance!
You know Baugh, I wasn't even going to come out here.
I told myself that I'm not going to have anything to do with you.
But then, I hear Mr. Corporate Champ complaining about how he was screwed over.
John Seana
And after I heard that, I couldn't help myself.
If anybody's got a bone to pick about being screwed over, it's me.
You talk about what's right, you talk about what's fair.
I haven't gotten over last season's main event and truth be told,
I may never get over it.
But the fact is, Jack. You and I have history.
We've got Bad Blood.
And if I have the opportunity to potentially end your season,
you bet your ass I'm going to take it.
Because you see, Baugh.
You and I are fighting for a playoff spot, and I'll gladly
take yours if that's what it's going to take to become League Champion.
Now do you smell that, Baughy?
The Baugh
First of all, jabroni.
Know your role and shut your mouth!
*Crowd Cheers*
The Baugh
You talk about this history. You and The Baugh.
You say we have Bad Blood.
But I'll tell you the truth,
I'm not sure if it's funny cigarettes that you've been smoking
or funny cigarettes that you need to be smoking.
but The Baugh doesn't even know who you are.
What is your name?
John Seana
It doesn't matter what my name is, Baugh.
You see? You're predictable, Baughy.
I know your every move, I know what kind of promo you're gonna cut.
I have the advantage because I know you better than you know me.
You may not know who I am,
but trust me... you will.
You're the man who took everything from me, Baugh.
You're the man who stole my dream.
You're the man who shattered everything I have worked my entire life for.
John Seana
You stole my moment.
You took my life's work.
You're the reason that I'm here now.
But you're also the reason why I'm still here.
You see Baugh, what I'm fighting for is much bigger than you and I.
You may not understand it,
but I'm fighting for the future of all mankind.
John Seana
This Sunday at Bad Blood, it's not just a match.
This Sunday is everything.
From here on out, I have to perform at the highest level,
not for only myself, but for all of those that I let down along the way.
This season is about redemption and erasing everything
that happened last year.
Baugh, you're completely clueless to what I'm talking about,
but I am deadly serious.
John Seana
I have to finish you. I have to end this and put you in my rearview.
I have to get over this hurdle so that I can move on.
This Sunday at Bad Blood, I have to beat you...
Because if I can't become League Champion,
you can be damn sure that I'm going to fucking avenge it.
See you Sunday... "Champ."
