The scene opens up to a large ballroom in Las Vegas. There is a large podium set up in front of a large crowd with a huge W:UK logo on it. The front couple of rows is saved for the press. There are tons of interviewers set up with tons of cameramen. Suddenly, “I’m So Paid” by Akon begins playing. The camera’s begin flashing as the photographers start trying to get the next big picture. The side door opens and in walks “The High Roller” Wesley Crane, dressed to impress as always. He struts across the floor, wearing his $10,000 plumb colored Armani suit and Italian leather shoes. Under his suit is a black buttoned down shirt with the top three buttons unbuttoned to show off Wesley’s chiseled chest. In his left hand is a full glass of whiskey. He steps up to the podium and leans in toward the microphone.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Here’s your chance to get THE picture of 2023. Ready, set, GO!”
Wesley takes his glass and puts it to his mouth. He takes a decent sized sip from his drink as the cameras flash repeatedly for a few seconds. Wesley lowers his glass and goes back to speaking into the microphone.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’m here as long as it takes for me to finish my glass of whiskey. Once my glass is empty, this press conference is over. So let’s begin with you, the gentleman with the light blue jacket on.”
Interviewer 1: “Good morning Mr. Crane, Jeff Johnson from the UKPress.com, what’s your thoughts on Billy Fowler?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Wow, Jeff Johnson coming out swinging with his question. Thoughts on Billy Fowler… Coward. Next!”
Jeff Johnson: “After the way New Years Brawl ended, don’t you have anything else to say about the World Champion of Wrestle:UK?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Pussy! That better for you?”
The camera’s all flash. There is a low rumble of voices talking. They can’t believe what Wesley has said at a live press conference. Wesley takes a sip from his drink.
Jeff Johnson: “That’s a little vulgar, Mr. Crane. How’s your head feeling after that brass knuckle shot you took?”
Wesley rolls his eyes.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’ve had enough of you… NEXT… You, the lady in the red dress.”
Interviewer 2: “Good morning, Holly Hendrix from DailyNews.com… Do you have any plans to face Sean Bean in the near future?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “No. I plan on fighting Sean Bean. I don’t care about wrestling moves against that piece of garbage. I care about punching him in the fucking face and knocking him out. NEXT! Katie Moss…”
Katie Moss: “Good morning, Wesley. Let’s change topics. You’re facing former World Champion Eddie Havok at the next Legacy. Are you at all worried about your chances of winning? He has the Skulls of Grimm with him and there’s still the threat of The Bastards getting involved in your match. Some would say you’re a sitting duck. Are you going to be ready if any of these outside interferences get involved?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Good question, and may I add, you’re looking gorgeous tonight.”
Katie gets a smile on her face, totally breaking character. Wesley takes another sip from his drink.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “On paper, it looks as though the odds are stacked against me… but on paper and in reality are two separate things, Katie. Have you ever heard the song “Friends in Low Places?”...”
Katie Moss: “The one by country icon, Garth Brooks?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Yeah, that one… well Katie, I’ve got friends in low places and friends in high places. It may seem as though I’m all alone, but the truth is, I’m never alone unless I want to be. At any moment, I’m ready to strike holy hell upon my opponent. So am I concerned about the numbers game? No, no I’m not.”
Katie Moss: “What are you going to do if Havok hits you with one of his devastating moves. He has quite the arsenal of moves. How do you counteract them?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I believe the correct question would be, “how will Havok survive my moves. How will Havok stop me from hitting him with the In The Face? How will Havok stop me from hitting the HRKO? How will Havok stop me from tapping him out with the Dragon Sleeper? Or what will he do when I crush his windpipe with a devastating Macho Man style flying elbow drop?”
Wesley takes another sip from his drink, it’s getting low.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’ve got a little respect for Havok. I can respect what he’s done in this business… but at Legacy we’re not talking about respect. At Legacy, we’re battling because the higher ups obviously want to sell a PPV calibur match at a freaking Legacy show.”
Katie Moss: “This is definitely a big match for you and your career so far. What are you going to do if you lose?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Lose?”
Wesley pounds the rest of his drink and raises an eyebrow to Katie.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I don’t lose.”
Katie Moss: “What about your loss to Billy Fow-”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’m all out of my drink and I’m all out of fucks to give. You’re all welcome for me, gracing you with my time.”
With that said, “I’m So Paid” plays again and Wesley steps away from the Podium.
