Wrestling from the past for the Man of Tomorrow (RP #2)

[Anthony Jordan]

HERE IT IS!

["The High Roller" Wesley Crane]

Jordan tosses the microphone back to the announcer and claps for Watts as he poses. Suddenly the lights cut out.

“Rubbing on that Italian leather
'Dem Konvict jeans on!
Ay yo Weezy! You Ready, yeah!
I get it in 'till sunrise
Doing ninety in a sixty five
Windows rolled down screaming ah!
Hey-ey-ey' I'm so paid
Number one hustla' gettin' money
Why do you wanna count my money
I'm a hustla' and I don't need them! One of them y'all see! I'm so paid!”

The lights slowly come back on as out steps “The High Roller” Wesley Crane. The fans let out a mix of emotions. While they want to boo Wesley Crane, they’re all excited that one of the top stars of Wrestle:UK is here and about to enter the ring with Kalmin Watts and Anthony Jordan. Wesley is dressed in his plum colored Armani suit with a black buttoned down shirt under the jacket. The black shirt has the top few buttons unbuttoned, showing off his chiseled appearance. Wesley slowly walks toward the ring, the entire time looking around at the fans. He walks ringside and is handed a microphone from the time keeper/announcer. He slowly walks up the steps and enters the ring through the second and third rope. Once inside, he shakes hands with Anthony Jordan and then pats Kalmin Watts on the shoulder. He looks back toward the fans and raises his microphone.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I need to be honest, Wesley Crane is way too good to be out here in front of only a couple hundred people… especially when there isn’t a single lady in the crowd that I’d be willing to fuck!”

Anthony Jordan’s facial expression changes from one of acceptance to one of disapproval. Anthony Jordan is not a fan of curse words. Wesley Crane notices the look on Anthony Jordan’s face.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What? Fuck isn’t a curse word if it’s used in a sentence about having sex with a woman. It’s true, look it up.”

It’s not true… and Anthony Jordan obviously knows it. Anthony shakes his head back and forth. Wesley continues on.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So here we are… the dynamic duo. The two men of the match. The only two that actually matter in this match. We have “The High Roller” Wesley Crane and the American Bad Ass, Kalmin Watts! Oops, sorry Mr. Jordan. I mean no disrespect.”

Anthony Jordan nods, letting this one go. The fans have all started a chant of “AMERICAN BAD ASS, (clap, clap, clap clap clap) AMERICAN BAD ASS (clap, clap, clap clap clap)”

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Alright, enough. You idiots would chant anything I wanted you to… and you’d do it because you’re all sheep.”

The fans are rowdy. They all start chanting “WE’RE ALL SHEEP, WE’RE ALL SHEEP.” Wesley just shakes his head.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Pathetic.”

Wesley looks back at Anthony Jordan.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Can you believe this shit?”

Knowing he’s not going to win the curse war with Wesley, Anthony just nods.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I can’t believe you guys are giving these morons free tickets to the Boston Beatdown.”

Anthony and Kalmin both smile.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Thank God there’s going to be thousands of others out there. Plenty of fish in that sea to choose from.”

Wesley begins packing back and forth. He looks out at the crowd.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “While I’m on the topic of Boston Beatdown, let’s discuss the show. Let’s discuss where we’re at so far. First things first. This bond that I have with Kalmin is solid. The two of us will take care of these girls in the match and then we will battle it out like true gentlemen… Wesley Crane has nothing else to say about that.”

Wesley pats Kalmin on the shoulder once again. Kalmin just looks at Wesley with caution.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Let’s talk about Zolothach. Tabitha Osborne. She’s so fucked up in the head that she doesn’t even discuss the fatal fourway match. Hell, she didn’t even discuss there being a show in Boston. By the time the show is done with, Tabitha will be thanking me for sending her ass to therapy for the beatdown I give her. Hopefully while you’re there they can help your “other” issues… because if there’s one thing we can all agree on it’s that Tabitha Osborne needs a whole different type of therapy. Maybe some shock therapy would be best for her. Truthfully, Wesley Crane could give two shits about what happens to that freak of nature.”

Wesley looks toward Kalmin and Anthony.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Can I get an “Amen?”...”

Both men nod.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “As for Julianna DiMaria, I know she’s like all the other slobs in the world and doesn’t care about showing up on time… she is usually late to the party, so let me say this right now. I offered you an olive branch. You haven’t responded, which is a “real shocker” so now I’m viewing it as a sign of disrespect… So if your sorry ass shows up in Boston, your hotness will not save you from the beatdown of a lifetime that you’re about to receive… but when we’re done, if you say sorry, I’ll still show you the time of your life, you’d better believe that!”

Wesley stops pacing.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Unless I bust up your face. Regardless of what you look like before the match, what comes after the match is what’s most important and Wesley Crane doesn’t fuck ugly chicks.”

The fans are booing. Wesley eats it up.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Either way, Boston Beatdown is going to be epic. I get to put a couple of fucked up chicks in their place and then I get to kick Kalmin’s ass-... uh, I mean, then I get to wrestle Kalmin to see who is the better wrestler.”

Wesley Crane reaches out and shakes hands with Kalmin.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “May the best wrestler win, kid.”

Wesley has a cocky grin on his face as the scene fades out.
