Rage (aka NoMercyMaster2001) and "The High Roller" Wesley Crane like this
Post by Rage and Cage on Jun 24, 2023 10:27:17 GMT -5
We find Nicholas “Honest” Cage sitting in his suite at Wesley Crane’s casino in Syracuse NY. He’s watching a bootleg copy of DC’s newest movie, The Flash. He has a bong sitting on the table in front of him. He grabs the bong and takes a huge hit. Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. The knock startles him enough that he ends up coughing. Smoke pours out of his mouth and nose.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Holy shit. Who could this be?”
Nicholas grabs the remote and pauses the movie. He stands up and walks to the door. As he opens it, his eyes almost pop out of his head. There stands Wesley Crane’s personal assistant, Henderson and a beautiful redhead, dressed in a skimpy black dress and high heels that match. Nicholas is speechless.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Uh, um, oh- hi!”
Henderson: “Are you going to let us in?”
Nicholas can’t even focus. He looks at the redhead and tries to speak to her.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “How YOU Doin’?”
Nicholas gets a grin on his face, thinking he’s being “smooth”- he’s not.
Henderson: “So?”
Henderson starts to walk in. Nicholas moves out of the way. Henderson and the redhead walk into Nicholas’s suite. Henderson starts waving his right hand back and forth in front of his face, trying to get the smell of marijuana out of the air.
Henderson: “My God, do you do anything other than smoke weed and watch bootleg movies?”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Yeah, (looks at the redhead) I love to make love to beautiful women.”
The redhead smiles, playing into his “dorkiness.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “So what brings you by, Henderson?”
Henderson: “Well, Mr. Crane wants you ready for your match at Legacy 16: The Battle at Bolton.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “I’m always ready, Henderson.”
Henderson: “Well, to make sure you’re ready, Mr. Crane has an ultimatum. If you win your match at Legacy, your reward is Abby.”
Nicholas looks at the redhead, then back at Henderson.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Please tell me her name is Abby!”
Redhead: “It is.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Have mercy.”
Suddenly the door opens and in walks Nicholas’s twin brother (that looks nothing like him) Wesley Rage. Rage eyes Abby up and down.
Rage: “Are you doing this of your own free will and accepting a level of compensation that reflects how you value yourself?”
Abby: “I wouldn’t be here, if I was lowballed.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Speaking of balls…”
Rage ignores his brother.
Rage: “I’m glad to hear that. I also want to make sure we all agree that consent is not permanent in nature. It must be expressly renewed often. Anything less than full consent is not okay.”
Abby: “Whatever. If you two lose, I wouldn’t want to be with you, anyway.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Whoa, brothers don’t build eiffel towers! You’re with me after we beat the Twins.”
Abby: “If you win.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Oh, we’re winning.”
Cage grins at Abby. She rolls her eyes as she’s never seen him wrestle.
Rage: “Absolutely. Unlike lesser teams in WUK, we’re not going to body shame the Twins. That’s how they choose to look, and that’s fine. Unfortunately, they’re running into the best tag team in the world! We are the rightful team even though we lean heavily to the left!”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Because three left turns is a right.”
Rage: “What does that have to do with anything?”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “What does anything have to do with anything?”
Abby turns to Henderson.
Abby: “My price just went up.”
Henderson can only resign himself to this reality.
Henderson: “Yes.”
Rage: “Get it, girl!”
Abby snorts at that silly attempt to cheer her on.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Whoa, everyone! Have we forgotten that we’re facing a team called the Twins, and I haven’t been given a chance to comparies them to boobs or balls? This is kind of a big deal.”
Henderson: “You are representing the High Rollers Club. Mr. Crane finds it imperative that you represent the group and win. That’s why he’s gone to such lengths.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “‘Lengths?’ C’mon! I’m a peacock! You gotta let me fly!”
Rage: “Will we finally get the tag team titles after we beat the Twins? Is this a match to finally crown new champions?”
Henderson: “That’s still in negotiation.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Then maybe you should drop in on him!”
Cage draws an imaginary gun and shoots at Henderson. Nothing happens. Cage looks around.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “You see, if this was one of movies, Henderson would have crashed through the glass to the ground next to Mr. Crane. Because I said ‘drop in on him.’ Get it?”
Abby: “I want more money.”
Henderson: “Okay, you need to leave because Mr. Crane will only pay so much.”
Abby shrugs and walks out of the penthouse.
Henderson: “You two need to take this seriously. You can’t embarrass our operation at Legacy.”
Rage: “Embarrass? Have you seen the Twins? They literally look like they walked out of a comic con and into a ring. We’re supposed to be the tag team champions. We shouldn’t be wasting our time with the Twins!”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “They have no social media presence, either. No Twitter, no Gram, nothing. It’s like they’re cavemen. I couldn’t find anything about them on the WUK site.”
Cage picks up the bong and takes another hit.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Maybe they’re AI. We have to be digitized to fight them.”
Rage: “Nic, you’re losing yourself again. The Twins are just some fodder WUK signed to toss at us. We’re going to beat them, then they’ll disappear forever.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Like OceanGate.”
Rage: “A group of 1 Percenters disappear because they’re too arrogant to accept being denied anything? Keep up the good work, Charles Darwin!”
Rage kisses a finger and points to the sky.
Henderson: “Guys, please! People died. That’s offensive. It could have been Mr. Crane!”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “DUN DUN DUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNN!”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Holy shit. Who could this be?”
