Post by "The High Roller" Wesley Crane on May 15, 2023 16:06:05 GMT -5
The scene opens to the huge, highly decorated ballroom inside Wesley’s Turning Stone Casino. It’s been almost two weeks since we last saw our WUK World Champion, Katie Moss and of course, Naomi. There are hundreds of people inside the ballroom, they’re all dressed to impress. There is a band playing soft music off to the side. In the center of the room is a dance floor. This is where we find “The High Roller” Wesley Crane dancing with Katie Moss. Wesley is dressed in a white suit with a plum purple buttoned down shirt under the jacket. Like always, he’s not wearing a tie. He has the top few buttons unbuttoned, showing off his chiseled chest. Katie is in a charcoal gray dress, and looks as stunning as ever.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I’m so glad you heard me out and understood what happened with that brunette bimbo inside my presidential suite.”
Katie Moss: “Look, we never said we’re exclusive, but I also don’t want to show up to your place and find a half naked girl in your room.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I promise babe, I’ll do all I can to not let it happen again.”
Katie Moss: “You can’t even promise to not let it happen again? All you can do is promise to do all you can to not let it happen?
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Is there a difference?”
Katie huffs. Wesley gives her a grin.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “The only other woman you need to compete with is my precious Naomi.”
Katie rolls her eyes.
Katie Moss: “Did you really need to wear her to this charity event?”
Wesley unbuttons his jacket button, showing off the WUK World Championship. He rubs his right hand over his championship and then pats the belt a couple of times.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Look babe, you knew our relationship would change once Naomi came into my life. I’m the greatest WUK World Champion in the history of Wrestle:UK. This championship is finally getting the recognition it deserves. This championship is finally being treated the way she should be treated. Do you realize that they were having this championship defended at almost every single show? Treating it like some glorified TV Championship.”
Wesley grins.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Sorry Kalmin, no offense.”
Wesley laughs to himself. Katie swats him on his chest.
Katie Moss: “You need to stop. What’s your deal with him? You need to focus on Ronnie Long.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You mean Billy Fowler lite?”
Katie Moss: “What do you mean Billy Fowler lite?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I mean the guy disappears to “prepare” for a match like no other. Fowler pulled the same shit when we faced one another. For some reason, people like Fowler and Long seem to think that staying hidden… because let’s be honest, that’s what it is… they’re hiding because they’re scared of the greatest professional wrestler in the world… they seem to think that it’ll give them some sort of advantage over the champ. Well I’ve got some bad news for Ronald Long… it didn’t work with Billy Fowler and it sure as hell won’t work for him. Ronald needs to realize that when push comes to shove, when it really matters, all he does is come up short. Yes, I know, he defeated Billy Fowler at the last show. Does that matter? No, because Billy Fowler hasn’t been the same since he lost to me. He’s barely around. When he is around, he’s a shell of his former self. The same will happen to Ronald Long.”
Wesley takes a deep breath and lets it out. Katie rubs Wesley’s chest.
Katie Moss: “You’re getting all worked up. Let’s go grab a drink.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “No need to leave.”
Wesley pulls out his phone and pushes a button. He then places the phone to his ear.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, Katie and I need a couple of drinks. (pause) Yes, those will do. (pause) Oh and Henderson, if you fuck this up, you’re fucking fired.”
Wesley pushes the button again, shutting off his phone screen. He then slides his phone into his jacket pocket. He looks back up at Katie Moss.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Look, babe… I don’t mean to get worked up. I’m just so passionate about this. This Championship is my world. This Championship proves to the world that I am what I say I am. I am the greatest professional wrestler in the world. This Championship has prestige when I hold it. This Championship means something once again, and that’s because I am the WUK World Champion. Ronald Long does not deserve to be inside a squared circle with someone like Wesley Crane, let alone be the World Champion. Ronald Long straight up isn’t worthy of my time and he sure as hell isn’t worthy of Naomi’s companionship.”
Katie Moss: “Ya know, babe…”
She says it with a little sarcasm in her voice.
Katie Moss: “You might need therapy. This obsession with your World Championship is borderline getting out of hand.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Don’t hate the player, hate the game.”
Katie rolls her eyes. From a distance, you see Henderson, dressed in a cheap 1990’s suit that he probably got at a thrift store, walking toward them with two drinks in hand. As he gets closer to Wesley, he looks more and more worried.
Henderson: “Here you are.”
Henderson hands over the two drinks. A martini, dirty, for Katie Moss and a whiskey for Wesley. Wesley takes a sip from his whiskey and spits it out, right in Henderson’s face. Wesley wipes his mouth and looks disgusted.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What in the fuck is this disgusting shit?”
Wesley hands the glass back to Henderson, who at this point is covered in booze and looks like he’s going to shit his pants.
Henderson: “I’m sorry, sir. They didn’t have your normal. This was all they had left.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Middle shelf whiskey?”
Henderson: “Yes, sir.”
Wesley reaches in his jacket pocket and pulls out his cell phone. He pushes a button and places the phone back up to his ear.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Yeah, Janice… I need to see you immediately. I’m on the dance floor. You can’t miss me. (pause) Alright, I’ll see you in 1 minute.”
Wesley pushes the button on his phone and places it back in his jacket pocket. He looks back at Henderson.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, you need to go to my suite and get me a glass of MY whiskey. Understand?”
Henderson looks relieved.
Henderson: “Yes… yes, sir.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “This is your second chance. Don’t fuck this up.”
Henderson: “Yes, sir.”
Henderson scurries off. As he leaves, he passes Janice. Janice walks up to Wesley.
Janice: “How can I help you, sir?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Janice, why is there no top shelf whiskey?”
Janice looks down and then looks back up at her boss.
Janice: “Uh, I apologize. I thought I had ordered enough for the event. I do apologize sir. It’ll never happen again.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You’re dayyyum right it won’t happen again. Janice, you’re fucking fired.”
Janice’s eyes begin to water. She’s holding back tears.
Janice: “Sir, I’ve been working here for 30 years. I started when I was 18yrs old. I can’t afford to lose my job… my insurance… my livelihood… please sir, I’m asking you for one more try.”
Wesley looks like he’s thinking about it. Katie reaches out and squeezes his left hand. He looks at Katie and then looks back at Janice.
Janice: “Just like Ronald Long only gets one shot to win this World Championship. You, Janice, only had one shot to make this night run perfectly. You failed, just like Ronald will fail at the PPV. Janice, you’re still fucking fired… now get fucked, Janice.”
Janice can’t hold her tears back any longer. She runs off crying. Henderson comes back with a whiskey for Wesley.
Henderson: “H… here you go, sir.”
Wesley takes a huge sip from his drink. Katie finishes her martini and hands the glass to Henderson. Wesley pounds the rest of his whiskey and hands the glass to Henderson as well. Henderson turns and leaves.
Katie Moss: “Ya know, you could have let her keep her job.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Sorry babe, it’s business as usual.”
Scene Fades.
