The scene opens up inside the luxurious locker room of “The High Roller” Wesley Crane. He is sitting alone when the door opens and in walks Henderson and Katie Moss, the “lady friend” of Wesley Crane. Wesley gets a huge smile on his face. He stands up and walks over to the bar. He pours a glass of champagne for himself, Katie and one for Henderson. As Katie and Henderson get closer, Wesley hands a glass to Katie. She smiles and nods at him. Henderson reaches his hand out for a glass. Wesley gives a cocky grin.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You’re on the clock.”
Wesley takes one of the glasses of champagne and drinks it quickly. He then lifts up the other glass and raises it in the air.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “To the Club… The High Rollers Club had one hell of a night. Rage and Cage defeated The Dark Stars to become the new number one contenders, Andre Reese gave Fowler a beating that he’ll never forget and I delivered a message to Ronnie Long. All in all, I’d say it was a good night for us. So, please, a toast… to The High Rollers Club.”
Wesley and Katie clink champagne glasses together and then take a sip. She reaches her hand out and hands her drink to Wesley.
Katie Moss: “That’s all I can have for now. I’m on the clock. You know how it goes. Post Legacy interviews.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So what bum is coming in here to interview me? Webber? Some other schmuck off the streets?”
Katie Moss: “Actually, you’ve got me tonight. I’m here to do your interview.”
Wesley rolls his eyes.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Do we really need to do these things? One day, when I own this place, I’m going to make sure that Post Legacy Interviews are eliminated.”
Katie Moss: “When you own this place?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Look, I’m a very wealthy man. For the right price, I’m sure I could buy Wrestle:UK from Mr. Blood. I’d leave him in charge, but I’d own the business. I’d make the profits from the WUK Premium Live Events, Merch and other things, while Blood would make a nice salary for running the roster. Running Legacy and Premium Live Events. Think about it, Katie… HRC presents, WUK Legacy. Doesn’t it sound great!?!”
Katie Moss: “It does have a nice ring to it. Now, you went out there and pulled a fast one on Ronnie Long. The entire world thought you were down and out. Were the injuries serious or did you just play it off so you could surprise attack Ronine?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “That’s a good question, Katie. Thanks for asking it. Now, for me to answer it… Were my injuries real? Fuck no. Wesley Crane is too good to get injured. Wesley Crane doesn’t believe in being injured. Wesley Crane is THE standard of professional wrestling. WUK used to be at this level.”
Wesley raises his right hand (the one that isn’t holding a champagne glass) and motions a height that’s just below his head.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Now, since Wesley Crane has joined, WUK’s level is now around here.”
Wesley stands on his tippy toes (yeah, I said Tippy Toes. I have kids. They’re called Tippy Toes, Damnit!”) and moves his right hand way up above his head.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Does that make sense, Katie?”
Katie Moss: “Of course it does. Next question. This next Legacy you face off against a man that you’ve got history with, the WUK British TV Champion, Kalmin Watts. This should be a great match. Are you worried that he may do more damage to your back and ribs than you’ve already experienced from the Elimination Chamber?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’m not concerned about Kalmin Watts. The fact is, when the two of us are in a match together, I win. It’ll be no different this time around. Kalmin is a big strong son of a bitch, I’ll give him that… and if I could ever get him to join The High Rollers Club, I could help him become one of the best in the business… but he’s not about The High Rollers Club lifestyle and that’s cool… but it means he’s going to need to learn a valuable lesson about placement of the roster.”
Katie Moss: “Placement of the roster?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Yeah. I’m at the top of the ladder. THE man. I don’t care what anyone says, I’m at the top of the ladder and I am THE WUK World Champion. After me is everyone in The High Rollers Club. After that, somewheres down toward the bottom is Kalmin Watts. Just above Ronnie Long.”
Katie Moss: “So is it safe to say that you believe Kalmin Watts is more deserving of a World Championship match against you than Ronnie Long?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “That’s exactly what I’m saying. Ronnie doesn’t deserve to be in the Main Event scene. If anything, Kalmin deserves a shot because he’s the champion of the second best WUK Championship.”
Katie Moss: “Let’s change topics a little bit. What’s your thoughts on what The Bastards pulled tonight?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What do you mean?”
Katie Moss: “In the main event…”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “…Um, I’m guessing Rob beat Frank. I mean, Rob’s the best in that septic pool of a group. Everyone knows Frank is the weakest link. That’s why he’s got the biggest mouth.”
Katie Moss: “No, they pulled a swerve on everyone. How have you not seen this? Weren’t you watching from back here?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Why would I waste my time watching those two?”
Katie Moss: “Remember the finger poke of doom.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “The one from WCW?”
Katie Moss: “Yes, it was worse than that.”
Wesley rolls his eyes.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Okay, I’ll have to watch it. Until then, no comment.”
Katie Moss: “Okay, I think that’ll do.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, I want you to get me the footage of the main event. I guess I need to watch this trash.”
Henderson hands Wesley his iPad. It’s already showing the “fight” between both guys. Wesley walks over to the chair and sits down to watch it as the camera fades out.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You’re on the clock.”
Wesley takes one of the glasses of champagne and drinks it quickly. He then lifts up the other glass and raises it in the air.
