Dolph Riggler Interview


Renee Young
Dolph, last week on Preview, you made a shocking announcement.
After your appearance on HizTV, 
you seemingly aligned yourself with Rockson Reigns.
Do you care to explain your actions?


Dolph Riggler
You know Renee, for a long time, I have been a staple in this league.
In my rookie season, I became WCC League Champion.
No other rookie in the history of this league has ever done that before.
I am a multiple time World Champion.
I headlined last year's FantasyMania!
But do I get the same respect as a Single H?
Or a Sandy Orton?
Or a Kenny Omega?


Dolph Riggler
I am a main event caliber Superstar 
and I've proven it time and time again.
Well, I'm sick of carrying this league on my back
and not getting the credit for it.
You know Renee, I look at some of these other guys.
Guys like John Seana, guys like The Baugh.
Two guys who are main eventing tonight's card,
two guys that I am better than!


Dolph Riggler
And you know the thing about The Baugh,
he doesn't deserve that character.
My friends, they call me DaRock.
If anybody should have The Baugh's character, it should be me!
And then The Baugh has the nerve to waste the "Toman Reigns" character.
He wasn't being used correctly, 
just like I'm not being pushed to the top of the league.
Which is why I've decided to hire the Big Dog.
Now, they have no choice but to take me seriously.
The Hiz learned that first hand on Preview.
And tonight, he gets an encore.


Dolph Riggler
Isn't that right, my friend?


Rockson Reigns
Now do you believe that? 

Singles Match
Rock's Team vs. howard's team


The bell rings and this matchup is underway.


The Hiz with early offense, Matt Ryan goes for 28.52.



Rockson Reigns trying to answer back.


Superman punch!


Uh oh, but here comes Justin Tucker and Tyler Higbee,
otherwise known as The Hiztourage.


Rockson Reigns tries to fight them off.


Skull Crushing Finale!
1-2-3!

Winner via Pinfall:
howard's team


Jim Ross
My God, somebody stop this!
You've already won the damn match for goodness sake!

King
I told you what would happen if you disrespected The Hiz!
The Hiz is one step ahead of Dolph Riggler and Rockson Reigns.
And now Rockson Reigns is paying the consequences.



We're really glad that you're our friend,
and this is a friendship that'll never ever end.


Minh Wyatt
Hello boys and girls!
And welcome back to the Firefly Funhouse!
Today is a very special day.


Minh Wyatt
Because today, is storytime!!

Kids
Yaaayyy


Minh Wyatt
And this tale is a true story called...
The Black Sheep.


Minh Wyatt
Yowie wowie, this sounds exciting.
Once upon a time,
there was a young, handsome little boy.


Minh Wyatt
And this particular boy had all the potential in the world.
One day, the little boy decided to join a Fantasy Football league.
And in the league's first season, the boy became the BEST Fantasy Manager,
He scored the most points and entered the playoffs in 1st place,
securing a first round bye in the process.


Minh Wyatt
But unfortunately for the little boy,
in the second round of the playoffs, he was unceremoniously dismissed
and defeated. But undeterred and determined to come back stronger than ever...
The boy decided to join the following season and with all his might,
he headlined the Championship game of FantasyMania in just his second season!


Minh Wyatt
...but only to fall short once again.
The inner voice inside him started to doubt his own abilities.
He came back year after year and kept failing and failing...


Minh Wyatt
THE END!


Minh Wyatt
Well that's a very sad ending, isn't it?
But that's okay!
Because maybe, just maybe... his story isn't over yet.


Minh Wyatt
Rumors have it... that the little boy is still out there.
Waiting for his moment to rise from the ashes once again....




The Fiend
Menacingly:
Yowie wowie.


Minh Wyatt
Just kidding!
Don't be so silly. These are just fairy tales.
Well, that does it for story time.
Remember fireflies, I'll lead the way.
And all you have to do is... let me in.
BYE!!!!


WCC Championship Match
John Seana vs. #7tormsComing (C)


Our main event starts as The Baugh looks to defend the
WCC Championship against the returning John Seana.



The Baugh off to an early lead on Thursday Night.


The Baugh mocks Seana with his signature move.


But Seana answers back with Dak Prescott.


Attitude Adjustment!
1-2-3!

Winner via Pinfall and NEW WCC Champion:
John Seana


Jim Ross
And he's done it!
John Seana the new WCC Champion.

Fantasy War Episode 2 - Double or Nothing


AOC
Mr. Zuckerberg, as CEO and founder of one of the most popular websites in the world,
with over 2.3 billion active users.
Are you aware of all the content, ads, and pages dedicated to racism,
promoting white supremacy and dissemination of false information?


Mark Zuckerberg
No congresswoman, I am not.
Like any platform with a large user base,
it is impossible to filter, monitor and fact check every single post that goes onto Facebook.


AOC
So you're saying Facebook willingly turns a blind eye
and helps to promote white supremacy to push the far right agenda?


Mark Zuckerberg
I'm sorry, congresswoman.
What?

AOC
By acknowledging that you don't know everything that goes
on Facebook, you are admitting that your social media platform 
promotes hate speech, attacking the LGBTQ community and 
helping the 1% maintain its hold on the rest of the world.

Mark Zuckerberg
Congresswoman, I don't think...


AOC
It's a simple yes or no question.
You know what? Nevermind. I got it.
That'll be all. Thank you.


After the hearing, AOC is interrupted by her assistant, Omar.

Omar
I'm sorry to bother you Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.
But police are reporting that they've found the body of Ezekiel Elliott.


AOC
Ezekiel Elliott?
What about... does he have the...?

Omar
The Power Stone? I don't know Ms. Ocasio-Cortez.
They didn't say.


AOC
Omar, where is Donald Trump, right now?

Omar
I'm not sure.
There's rumors that he fled the country to avoid his impeachment trial.
Why? What's wrong?


AOC
Oh my God...
This is it. He's making his move.
Omar, you have to come with me. Quickly.

Omar
Sure. But where are we going?


AOC
To find Donald Trump.


WEST COAST COUSINS:
FANTASY WAR

Episode Two - Double or Nothing


*Kenny Omega's Music Hits*


JR
Welcome to Wednesday Night Preview, ladies and gentlemen.
And we are wasting no time at all.
Kenny Omega, who last night lost the WCC Championship to The Baugh,
making his way out to the ring alongside the Young Bucks.
And I think it's safe to assume Kenny Omega is out here to address CM PUP.

King
I think you're right, JR.
CM PUP cost him the match!
We need an explanation from the former WCC Superstar.


Kenny Omega
... Last night, I went one on one with "The Great One."
And while I came up short, it wasn't for a lack of trying.
Now, I'm not sure if someone is playing a prank
or messing with the soundboards back there..
But we all saw what happened.

Crowd
CM PUP! CM PUP! CM PUP!


Kenny Omega
Oh, yes. CM PUP...
PUP, I don't think you're stupid enough to interfere in my matches.
And seeing as you weren't physically there...
I've come to one or two conclusions.
Either someone in the back is playing mind games,
or CM PUP has indeed returned to the West Coast Cousins.

*Crowd Cheers*


Kenny Omega
Now if it's the latter, this just proves to me what I knew all along.
You're a coward, CM PUP.
I don't care if you're here in Las Vegas, live on Preview,
or if you're at home watching from your retirement home.
I'm talking to you directly.
The Fantasy Sports that you once knew, is gone.
This is a new generation and while you were once revered as "The Best in the League."
Today, that is no longer the case.
You are looking at The Best Route Machine.
And if you ever dared to step in the ring with me,
I'll make you tap faster than Mickey Gall did.


Kenny Omega
You see PUP, what you're looking at
is the present and the future of West Coast Cousins.
Today, you are a fossil in this game.
And even in your prime, you couldn't lace your boots with the likes of me.
The Bullet Club, but more specifically, The Elite.
The Young Bucks and myself.
We run the Fantasy Sports world.


Kenny Omega
This is your first and last warning,
do not get involved with my affairs.
We are The Elite.
We cook your meals, we haul your trash,
we connect your calls, we clean your house.
We guard you while you sleep.
Do not fuck with us.
Otherwise I will make the "Best in the League"
disappear once and for all....


Suddenly, the arena lights go dark as the crowd goes wild.


The titantron flashes a countdown.

Jim Ross
... wh-what's this?

King
I think it's CM PUP, JR!
He's finally answering for his actions.


Chris Vinson appears on screen.


Chris Vinson
Kenny Omega.
What a dynamic performer, what a fantastic, tremendous performer.
No one can deny your resume.
But while you're chasing ghosts,
you've failed to realize one very important thing.


Chris Vinson
You're not the Best in the World.
Not anymore.
The days of the 5 star match machine are over.
What I did last night at SummerSlam
 and what I will continue to do all season,
will surpass anything and everything that you've ever accomplished.
I've won Championships overseas, in other Fantasy Leagues.
I've risked it for the biscuit.
And I am going to prove to everyone why I am the Alpha of this business.


Chris Vinson
Because I'm challenging you Kenny!
Alpha vs. Omega.
All of this talk of CM PUP,
you've forgotten about the very real problem in front of you.
And that problem is me.
All of these others guy, they claim to the best.
But they're all gone.
And I'm still here.


Chris Vinson
This isn't about 5 Star Matches,
This is about me kicking your ass.
I want to see what the hype is behind Kenny Omega.
I want to see what Kenny will do when faced with adversity.
For the first time ever, we're seeing the chink in your armor.
If the Fantasy Sports world runs through the Bullet Club...
I'll show you why the Inner Circle is a level above The Elite.
So I'll see you Sunday, Kenny.
September 20th, Double or Nothing.
Let's see who's really the best... bitch!


Jim Ross
It looks as if Kenny Omega has accepted!

King
What a match, JR!

 *Commercial*


*Commercial*


We return to Wednesday Night Preview with The Hiz already in the ring.



The Hiz
Welcome to another edition of HizTV!
And tonight, we have a very special guest.
He is a former world champion.
One of the league's all time greats.
None other than.. The Show Off!
Dolph Riggler!


*Dolph Riggler's Music Hits*


Jim Ross
After 1-0 start, Dolph Riggler finds himself in first place,
scoring the highest points total in Week 1.
He finished last season in 2nd place,
and I believe that Hiz's assessment is correct
when he calls him one of the all-time greats.


The Hiz
Dolph, I'd like to thank you for joining me tonight.
But I'm going to cut straight to the chase.
I think the entire WCC Universe wants to know..
Which Dolph Riggler will show up this season?


The Hiz
Now hold on, let me finish before you talk.
What I mean by that is, we all know your accolades.
Mr. FantasyMania, 8-1 in the playoffs.
We know you've had some impressive seasons in this league.
But, you've also had some pretty bad seasons as well.
For you, it seems like it's championship or bust.
The truth is, you mail it in some seasons.
Some could argue that you're the most inconsistent manager in the league.
So I think your fans want to know,
are you going to try this season?

Dolph Riggler
Am I going to try?
I don't think that's fair, Hiz.
Did you see my performance in Week 1?


The Hiz
Anyone can get lucky one week and score a lot of points.
But let's look at the facts, you autodrafted for half the draft!
Correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think the fans want a half assed product.
This isn't EA Sports, this isn't Madden.
These fans paid good money to watch us play,
and I think the fans deserve to know.
Are you going to show up? Or should they just root for someone else?

Dolph Riggler
Look Hiz, you can doubt me all you want.
They doubted Aaron Rodgers this season,
and he showed that he's still one of the best in the league.
And this entire league let him fall to me in the 14th round.
Now THAT is a steal and just like I do every year,
I'm going to steal the show.


The Hiz
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
I'm hearing a bunch of nothing coming from you.
And if I do must say so myself,
you have been a terrible guest on my show.

Dolph Riggler gets out of his seat.

Dolph Riggler
Seriously? Coming from you?
I have 2 Championship titles to show for my efforts.
What have you got?
Compared to me, your career has been a joke!


The Hiz
Hey, let's not get personal here, Dolph.
I'm just asking the questions.
They're tough, but fair questions.
Questions nobody has the audacity to ask, but me.
I'm not asking as a Fantasy Manager, I'm asking as a reporter.
I'm allowed to ask questions that the people want to know.
So let's stay on topic. We're here to talk about you, not me.
And if you want to talk about me, at least I've been consistent.
You know what you're gonna get with me.
The fans just want to know if they're wasting their time with you.


Dolph Riggler
Oh, that's bullshit.
If your questions are stupid, I'm allowed to get upset.
Just because you're a part time media man doesn't mean 
you can say whatever you want. At the end of the day,
you're a Fantasy Manager in this league and you should know better.
I have never mailed it in and I've done more for this league than you ever will.


The Hiz
Really? Really?
How unprofessional are you?
To come onto my show and disrespect me on my own platform?
Dolph Riggler, you have been by far, the worst guest I have
 ever had on this show. I want the fans to boo you.
Boo this man!


The Hiz
You know what? I'm done with this--

The Hiz attacks Dolph Riggler out of no where.


Jim Ross
Oh! A cheap shot by Hiz!

King
Riggler had it coming!
You don't come onto The Hiz's show and disrespect him in front of the world!

Jim Ross
The Hiz disrespected him first.
Where I come from, you don't write checks that your ass can't cash.


Riggler gets back onto his feet and begins to walk back up the ramp.


The Hiz
You wanted the Fantasy Manager?
You got the Fantasy Manager!
Come on! Don't ever come into this ring and disrespect me again!


Jim Ross
Wait a minute...
Look at this, King!

King
What's he doing here?!


Jim Ross
A hellacious spear!
The Hiz might be broken in half!


Dolph Riggler
Well, I guess that answers your question, Hiz.
Which Riggler will show up this season?
The answer is, I won't show up at all.



Dolph Riggler
These people shouldn't root for me.
They should root for my personal bodyguard.
The rebranded Big Dog!


Dolph Riggler
Rockson Reigns!

*Commercial*


*Commercial*



Jim Ross
Ladies and gentlemen, joining me at this time...
the new WCC Champion.. The Baugh!

*Crowd Cheers*


*The Baugh's Music Hits*


The Baugh poses in front of a sold out crowd inside the MGM Grand.


Jim Ross
First of all Baugh, I'd like to congratulate you on your title win last night.
But I think the question on everyone's mind...
did you know CM PUP was going to interfere in your championship match?


The Baugh
Damn, JR. You and I, we go way back.
I mean, way back. And after all this time,
you come out here and give The Baugh such a lousy introduction.
The Baugh doesn't need you to do this promo, JR.
Why don't you get out of The Baugh's ring before I slap the taste out of your mouth.
Let The Baugh show you how it's done.
Because...


The Baugh
FINALLY... THE BAUGH
HAS COME BACK TO LAS VEGAS!

*Crowd Cheers*


The Baugh
Now let The Baugh make one thing perfectly clear.
Did I know CM PUP would interfere?
Hell no.
You think The Baugh and CM PUP are friends?
You think The Baugh has CM PUP on speed dial?
The Baugh is not friends with CM PUP, 
The Baugh could give a rat's ass about CM PUP.


The Baugh
Let The Baugh set the record straight.
Man to man, I don't know why you did what you did.
But don't think for one solitary second, that The Baugh owes you a damn thing.
The Baugh doesn't need CM PUP,
The Baugh would've beaten Kenny Omega, 1-2-3, without CM PUP.
And if the people want to know what happened,
I think that there's only one person who can answer what's on everyone's mind.
All these people, thousands in attendance, millions watching at home.
They've been waiting all night,
and I don't think we should keep them waiting any longer.
I think it's about time you made your long awaited return.
Let's find out exactly why you did what you did.


We pan to the stage as we await the arrival of CM PUP.



*John Seana's Music Hits*


*Crowd Cheers*

King
Whaaaaat?

Jim Ross
Well that is certainly not CM PUP!


King
I'm seeing it with my own eyes, but I don't believe it!

Jim Ross
After 4 long years...
JOHN SEANA IS BACK!


Seana poses in front of the fans as the crowd is in an uproar.



John Seana
It's pretty simple.
From the sidelines, 
I've watched for years as the rest of the league passed me by.


John Seana
And in that time, I've watched my reputation fall to the way side.
Meanwhile, guys like you rose to the top of the mountain.
2018, you finally took the monkey off your back and won it all.
I'll give you your props and congratulate you, Baugh.
But now it's my turn.
For me, this season is about redemption.
This season is about legacy.
My back is against the wall and time is running out.
If I want my name mentioned among some of the league's all-time greats,
this is my do or die season.
This is where I lay it out all on the line and prove to everyone
that I have what it takes to become WCC League Champion.


The Baugh
It's like you, John.
You talk a big game and you run your mouth.
But maybe you're right, maybe it is pretty simple.
Maybe you just aren't as good as you think you are, John.
Just maybe, you're not an all time great.
Have you ever thought about that?


John Seana
Well Baugh, there's only one way to find out.
It's time to put up or shut up.
Let's put our money where our mouth is.
This Sunday, Double or Nothing.
John Seana versus The Baugh, one more time.
