It’s been 24hrs since Legacy #9. “The High Roller” Wesley Crane is just getting into his luxurious suite near Syracuse, NY. His personal assistant, Henderson, is walking by his side. He has a large envelope in his hand. He hands it to Wesley.
Henderson: “This is for you, sir.”
Wesley looks at the envelope and is immediately annoyed.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Who the fuck spells my name C-R-A-N?”
Henderson: “I apologize, sir.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Toss it in the garbage. I don’t have any time for this trash.”
Henderson holds onto the envelope.
Henderson: “Have you heard from him?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “No, not yet. I wasn’t in the mood to stick around after the main event. I took care of my business and I was fine with leaving.”
Henderson: “You two really should talk. I mean, he hit you with the “Dis-Knee”... He knocked you out-”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Correction, he knocked me out of the ring. Was I phased? Yes. Did he knock me out? No, he did not. There’s only one finishing move in the business today that knocks someone out and that’s the “In The Face”... the “Dis-Knee” is a close second. When hit properly, it’s almost as devastating as “In The Face” but it’ll always be the second best finisher in the business.”
Henderson: “Okay… are you two going to be okay? I’m worried.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Worried? Why would you be worried? Wesley Crane is not worried. I’m sure Marty Donovan isn’t worried. The fact is, we’re professionals. When we have our one on one match for the Hardkore World Championship we will battle it out as best friends. During the Battle of Britain match I hit Marty with my finisher and knocked him out. Last night he hit me with his finisher and knocked me out of the ring. In my eyes, we’re even. No harm no foul.”
Henderson doesn’t seem to believe Wesley, but he’s not going to push it.
Henderson: “So how’d things go with Miss Moss? She seemed genuinely concerned about you last night.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “It’s simple, Hendo… I’m breaking those walls down quicker than Chris Jericho. It’s only a matter of time before SHE’S asking ME out on a date.”
Henderson: “And your answer will be?”
Wesley gets a cocky grin on his face.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Well, I guess we’ll see. The fact is this, we don’t mature with years, we mature with damage. Katie and I are both maturing big time. Like I said, it’s only a matter of time.”
Henderson: “When will you see her next?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’ve actually got her coming here to interview me. I’ve sent my private jet to pick her up.”
Henderson: “Good. Make sure you stay humble, sir. I believe that’s the way to her heart.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Heart? Slow your role, Hendo. Nobody said anything about hearts… Wesley Crane doesn’t “do hearts”... understand?”
Henderson: “Uh… yes, sir.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Do you have the info I wanted on Billy Fowler?”
Henderson: “I do. Here it is.”
Henderson hands Wesley the envelope.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You spell my name incorrectly again and you’re fired.”
Henderson: “My apologies sir. It was a genuine accident. It won’t happen again.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Let me see that.”
Wesley opens the large envelope and pulls out the paperwork on the inside. He looks it over and takes a deep breath in.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “This big, dumb, bastard uses half of my moves. Who in the fuck does he think he is?”
Henderson: “Well sir, he’s the Wrestle:UK World Champion.”
Wesley shoots a look at his assistant.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I know who he is, Henderson. It was a rhetorical question.”
Henderson: “Sorry, sir.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So he’s got me by 7 inches and 117 lbs. That can seem like a disadvantage for me, but it’s not. It’s actually an advantage for me. The cliche is “the bigger they are, the harder they fall.”... and it sounds stupid, but it’s true. He might be larger than I am, but I am much quicker… and I’m quite the technical brawler in my own right… Wesley Crane is the greatest pound for pound wrestler in the world.”
Henderson: “No doubt about it, sir. How will you counteract his moves?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, your questions bother me today. It’s best to shut up until I ask you for your opinion on something.”
Henderson: “Yes, sir.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So he likes to use a powerslam. That’s easy enough to counter. My speed and quickness will help me reverse that move. He’ll be lucky if I don’t knock him out with a HRKO (RKO) when I reverse that move. A lariat clothesline can be deadly. I’ll need to make sure I keep my eyes open for that move. When he comes for me, I need to make sure I duck and then, bam, lights out with a HRKO. As soon as he starts to get up, bam, “In The Face” and the match is over.”
Henderson: “Sir, with all due respect, what about the London Calling Powerbomb?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Didn’t I tell you to shut your mouth?”
Henderson nods.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “That move has defeated a lot of wrestlers in history… but Fowler has never hit the move on someone like Wesley Crane. He can hit the move on me, but I won’t stay down. If I can get up after a “Dis-Knee” to the face, I can definitely get up from the London Calling Powerbomb.”
Henderson: (speaking quietly) “What about Frank Windsor?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Wesley Crane does not worry about people like Frank Windsor. Wesley Crane has friends in high places that deal with people like Frank Windsor. At Legacy #10, my best friend, Marty Donovan will deal with Frank Windsor.”
Wesley’s cell phone rings to the tune of “When you wish upon a star.” Wesley taps the screen to answer it.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Speak of the devil. Marty, how’s that smoking hot great aunt of yours doing?”
Scene ends.
Henderson: “This is for you, sir.”
Wesley looks at the envelope and is immediately annoyed.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Who the fuck spells my name C-R-A-N?”
