The scene opens up to the luxurious presidential suite of “The High Roller” Wesley Crane. Wesley is sitting on his nice Italian leather sofa. He has a whiskey in his right hand and the remote control to his $8,000 150” flatscreen television. He has ESPN on the TV and he’s in the middle of watching the highlights of the American football games over the weekend and watching the reviews of the games that are about to happen this next weekend. There is a knock at his door. Wesley rolls his eyes.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Why is it impossible for me to get a moment of silence. Let’s see who this is this time…”
Wesley yells out “Come In!” The door opens and in walks Wesley’s personal assistant, Henderson, Wesley’s “lady friend”, the head reporter for Wrestle:UK, Katie Moss, and one half of the tag team champions, Nicholas “Honest” Cage. Wesley tosses the remote down on the sofa and then stands up and walks to the bar. Wesley pounds the last of his whiskey and grabs the bottle to pour himself another. Katie walks over to Wesley and leans in for a little kiss. Wesley returns the kiss and then focuses on Nicholas.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “You bring any weed?”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Of course. Have I ever mentioned how much I love New York’s relaxed laws on marijuana use?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “It really is one of the perks of living in New York. Why don’t you roll a joint? You got any of that Cheech and Chong Drooler?”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Of course. Do you know I make special trips to Las Vegas to get this “medical” marijuana?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Ya do realize they have dispensaries in New York, right?”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Oh, I know, but they don’t have the Drooler. That’s a specialty for Vegas only.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “That’s some serious dedication.”
Henderson, who has been standing quietly off to the side can’t remain silent any longer. He steps forward and raises his right hand, almost as if he were a child in school, looking to ask a question.
Henderson: “Boss, we really need to talk about your match this week.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Alright, let’s talk about it. What’s on your mind, Hendo?”
Henderson can’t believe how easy it was to get Wesley to discuss the match.
Henderson: “You’re facing Cheez this week.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Mozzarella or cheddar?”
Wesley and Nicholas both laugh at Wesley’s lame attempt at making a joke.
Henderson: “Sir, I’m serious. He’s a former Commonwealth Champion. He’s no joke. Definitely someone you don’t want to overlook because you’re busy thinking about Lord Dominicus or Kasper Van Zandt.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So he was the Commonwealth Champion… Preston took care of that chump. I’ll do the same.”
Henderson: “Can we at least look at his bio and discuss your ways to defeat him?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Ugh, okay, fine… You can read it off and if I have anything to add, I will. Go ahead.”
Henderson: “Well, he’s 5’7” and weighs 185lbs.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “He’s 5 foot what?”
Henderson: “7. He’s 5 foot 7 inches and weighs 185lbs.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “So you’re telling me he’s a threat when he can barely ride the rollercoasters at the amusement park?”
Henderson: “Sir, just because he’s short doesn’t mean he’s not a great wrestler.”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What are some of his moves?”
Henderson: “Well, there’s the drop kick, arm drag, snap mare, atomic drop-”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What is this, 1987? Who uses those moves on the regular?”
Nicholas lights the joint and takes a couple of hits. He then passes the joint to Wesley who takes a monster hit, holds it in for a few seconds and then exhales.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “No wonder he couldn’t get the job done against Preston… with moves like that, he’s lucky he’s won any matches at all. What else ya got?”
Henderson: “Well, his finishers are a shining wizard and a diving headbutt.”
Wesley laughs. Maybe because he finds the moves to be funny, maybe because he’s stoned. Either are possibilities.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Henderson, you like to say I should be worried, but have you ever thought about going to my opponent and telling them how worried they should be? Truth is, Wesley Crane is the mother fucking man and at Legacy I’m going to show him just how dangerous I am when I crack his skull with an IN THE FACE V-Trigger.”
Henderson: “But sir, what abou-”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Time for you to go, Henderson. I’ve got High Roller Club business to take care of.”
Looking discouraged, Henderson turns and leaves the suite. Wesley takes a sip from his drink and heads back to the sofa. Katie follows him and takes a seat next to him. Nicholas takes a seat in the Italian leather chair and hits the joint again. He then passes it over to Wesley.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Are you worried at all about this match with Cheez?”
Wesley gets his cocky grin on his face.
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “Me? Worried? Never. I’m going to take care of Cheez at Legacy and then I go back to doing what I do best… I’m focusing on Dominicus and Kasper.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “What do you need from me and my brother?”
“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “I need you to all be prepared for a war. I don’t trust Dominicus or Kasper. They won’t think twice about sneak attacking us… so I need the High Rollers Club to be prepared and on high alert. Legacy should go nice and easy, but there’s no doubt in my mind that our paths will cross with theirs and that could lead to the brawl of the year. Speaking of the end of the year, I had better win Wrestler of the Year.”
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “No doubt you’ve got this!”
Katie Moss: “Nicholas, with all due respect, it’s time for you to leave. Wesley and I need some alone time.”
Nicholas gets a huge smirk on his face.
Nicholas “Honest” Cage: “Oh shit, I know what that means. Here boss, hit this again… then I’m out of here.”
The scene ends with Wesley taking one last hit.
