High Roller Wrestling Presents: All In Episode One Results

BACKSTAGE
Earlier in the Day
“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page is having an early morning breakfast with her bodyguard, Tera Taylor, at Salt Ivy Cafe and Patio Bar in the Aria Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. Danielle is looking at her phone screen.

“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page:Bianca just landed in Pittsburgh.

Tera Taylor:Fantastic. It was great to meet her last night.

“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page:I am sure next time we’ll have more time to spend with her.

Tera Taylor:I look forward to it.

“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page:Tonight though we have business that needs to be handled. Of course this little Miss hotshot thinks she is going to steamroll right over me and to her credit she is supposed to think that. It is all very typical and ordinary of her but really why should I be surprised? What isn’t surprising is that I am in the very first match in the reboot of High Roller Wrestling. It is because HRW management knows I bring asses to seats, I put eyeballs on their product which means money. More money for them and more money for us.

Tera Taylor:More money is always a great thing.

“Diamond Princess” Danielle Page:I know, right? After we deal with Veronica I get to enter this battle royal with the chance to get a High Roller Championship match. What a splendid way to end the night.

Danielle and Tera raise their glasses of Mimosas and cheer the glasses together.

BACKSTAGE
“Kicking things off with a Goddess is never a mistake…”

The camera comes into focus upon Veronica Sawyer as she stands backstage, she is taking the time to better adjust her jacket, making sure nothing is out of place. After all appearances are of the utmost importance in her mind. There’s a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips as she is now leaning up against the wall, almost in a casual manner.

Veronica Sawyer: Well, time for you to realize just how wrong you were when you started to run your mouth there Danielle, and I will admit that I’ve been looking forward to this moment. There is a certain joy to be found in taking naive fools such as yourself and teaching them important life lessons inside of the ring. You deemed me to be an inferior knowing nothing about myself or what I’m capable of, a costly mistake, you’ll find that out the hard way.

Veronica pauses for a moment as she runs one hand casually through the long curls of her blonde hair framing her face.

Veronica Sawyer: You would think that being in Las Vegas that taking a gamble, a risk, would be appropriate. However the only thing Danielle Page has successfully done is stamp herself a one way ticket to defeat in the opening match for the return of High Roller Wrestling. All of her big boasting and childish high school insults will come back to bite her in the ass. I don’t even feel sorry in the slightest for what’s going to happen, she dared to call me inferior when I have been born bred for this very business, and now I get to make an example out of her. The perfect way for me to warm myself up before that big main event. A battle royal offering the entire roster a chance to capture some gold right off the bat. Night one. Who wouldn’t want that?

Veronica is now running one hand down the front of her ring gear for the evening making a point to show off the gold trim polishing off her look.

Veronica Sawyer: I’ve always been a fan of gold, as you can tell, and an even bigger fan of capturing opportunities when they are handed to me on a silver platter. Danielle Page to me is nothing more than a brief warm up before the real show begins. I could have taken her much more seriously if she hadn’t opened her big mouth in the first place. She demonstrated her level of ignorance on a painfully obvious level and I can’t let that slide without teaching her a lesson. She’ll think twice after tonight before trying to toss her little insults in my direction.

Veronica scoffs under her breath as she makes a motion with her boot up against the floor as if she was demonstrating exactly what she plans on doing with Danielle Page inside of the ring.

Veronica Sawyer: Nothing more than dirt under my boot.

A playful wink follows her words before Veronica begins to stride down the hall in a confident manner, eager to make her way out to the ring for her match.

Veronica Sawyer: High Roller knew exactly what they were doing when they booked the show in a way to make sure it both begins and ends with me. I don’t intend to disappoint.

Those words are the last thing we hear as the scene fades.

BACKSTAGE
We see a shot of a white door, with a sign simply reading "Adams Twins". It seems seven million Twitch followers can come with a few perks, including your own changing room. The door opens and the sisters step out, wearing their wrestling gear. They may be twins and very similar in appearance, but they can be easily distinguished by their hair. Kenzie with the blonde hair and Alysha with the dark. They walk through the hallway, but are soon stopped by backstage interviewer Erica Jackson.

Erica Jackson: "Kenzie, Alysha, can I ask you a few questions please?"

The twins glance at each other, smiling softly, before focusing their attention on Erica.

Kenzie Adams: "Fine, but we've got a match coming up, so make it quick, 'kay?"

Erica Jackson; "Of course. First thing, girls, what led you two to High Roller Wrestling? You're both known on the Canadian independent scene for Deathmatch wrestling, is HRW an odd fit for you?"

Kenzie rolls her eyes and lets out a sigh.

Alysha Adams: "No, Erica, it's not an odd fit. HRW is all about those high stakes. It's Vegas, baby!"

Kenzie Adams: "Yeah! We're known as risk takers, as gamblers, as girls who put everything on the line to win big. Why the hell WOULDN'T we want to be in HRW?"

Erica nods her head in response.

Erica Jackson: "That's a good point. You only inked your contracts a couple of weeks ago and here you are about to compete in the first ever tag team match in HRW. It's a pretty big deal. Thoughts?"

Kenzie Adams: "Tch. Well yeah, of course we're in the match. This is the match that's going to show everyone what tag team wrestling here is all about. It only makes sense to have the team everyone wants to see."

Alysha Adams: "For real, Erica. Management knew what a draw we were when they signed us. They know our popularity goes beyond just wrestling fans. We wrestle and it makes the news. Of course they wanted us in this match, because we're a team they bank on."

Erica Jackson: "And what about your opponents tonight, the Kali Kingpins?"

Kenzie Adams: "What about 'em?"

Erica Jackson: "Well, what do you think about facing them, are you confident? They're an experienced team."

Kenzie folds her arms across her chest.

Kenzie Adams: "Of course we're confident. We're always confident. We have never gone into a match expecting to lose."

Alysha Adams: "Yeah, and what do you mean by they're experienced, Erica? As if we're not? We've won championships of our own, you know? Yeah, they're a tough team, we get that…"

Kenzie Adams: "But that's what we want! We want to go up against tough teams, so we can beat them. Knocking off the Kali Kingpins in our first match? That'll trend."

Alysha Adams: "That'll go viral."

The twins both smile confidently.

Kenzie Adams: "Now if you'll excuse us, we've got a match coming up."

Alysha Adams: "We outie."

Kenzie and Alysha brush past Erica as they continue on their way down the hallway, as the scene fades out.

BACKSTAGE
“WHOOOOA DADDY!”

Walking into the camera frame is The Goatest Of All Time, Jimmy Powers. He is in his ring gear and looks ready to go for his match. Resting on his shoulders is his sidekick and number one buddy Jimmy Jr. Powers lowers his shades and smiles big.

“Oh you know that your momma’s favorite wrestler is here to rock and or roll in that High Roller ring baby! I have been busting my buns getting ready for this match and those two ladies? They ain't ready for the storm I’m bringing out there tonight. They can't hit the level I reside on baby, they aint goat level.”

He chuckles and gives Jimmy Jr’s chin a small scratch.

“Miss Faithe might have rigged the votes but we all saw what happened when that poll went to an unbiased source. It was all Jimmy Powers and that's a fact jack! I won’t lie, I enjoyed watching Xaria and Faithe go at each other on Twitter like Godzilla and King Kong battling it out but that’s all gonna end when I pop up and scissor kick their faces off!”

Powers does a quick spinning jump kick that’s half impressive, half comical.

“High Roller Wrestling… Get ready cause you about to get goated!”

BACKSTAGE
A huge shot of the Vegas strip plays, footage taken from earlier in the day presumably. We go from a rather wide shot to a more narrow shot on the streets of Vegas where we bare witness to all sorts of people. There’s a man dressed as a robot, street walkers, all sorts of deals happening in almost broad daylight. Then, from out from an alley, comes FAITHE. She’s dressed in oversized black clothing with black glasses, her wild red hair all over the place.

FAITHE: VEGASSS! The city of sin! It was only a matter of time before I made my way out here, eh?

She reaches into her pocket, bringing out a pack of cigarettes. She packs it for a few seconds, before sliding a single one from the pack. She brings it to her mouth a few times as she’s speaking, never quite lighting it.

FAITHE: Vegas has recently become much more of a hearth for professional wrestling and I gotta say that I’m here for that. Because when you’ve got wrestling in vegas, you’re gonna have the chaos, you’re gonna have the debauchery, and best part is it’s all happenin’ under one roof. You don’t gotta hop around to casino after casino trying to find out which one has the best sin for you. It’s all gonna be right here at High Roller Wrestling. What a fantastic service this people are providing for the scum of the earth like me.

Actually, she doesn’t even have her lighter out. She reaches in the other pocket, this time bringing out a dark blue lighter and finally lighting the end of her cigarette.

FAITHE: and even better, I get to compete in two different matches in the same night. Seems Vegas has a thing for putting me in a triple threat and then a battle royal but ya know what, I’m down for that. Jimmyboy and Princess Xaria over here are gonna be a good time and if the poll that HRW held is correct then I’m gettin my hand raised…

Having been walking the entire time, FAITHE suddenly stops to wave her hands in front of the camera. The motion said something along the lines of ‘I’m innocent’

FAITHE: Ey ey ey, I know some people are sayin that I cheated in those polls but ya know what, ya can’t prove that and nobody can say for sure if Knox hacked that poll but all I know is I won so that’s that. Ya know I’m pretty sure that polls do actually dictate reality as well so there’s no way I’m losin, it’s already set in stone.

She chuckles, blowing smoke at the camera before continuing.

FAITHE: But in all honesty I really can’t wait to get inside that ring and ring Jimmyboy’s neck. I can’t wait to beat Xaria’s perfect little face into the turnbuckle. When I said that Vegas brings chaos I meant that I was fully going to be participating in that chaos. All these people on their twitter, tryin to make sure they are up in the polls and make sure they portray themselves a certain way. They’re all phonies. All of ‘em. Me? I’m real. I’m not gonna give you no bullshit like all these other people. Tonight is gonna be a whirlwind of madness, and nobody is really sure what’s gonna happen by the end of the night but I’m gonna be there with another cigarette in my hand regardless.

A shrug from FAITHE. She took a moment to stop, looking up into the sky and up and down the strip. She took it all in, taking a strong breath that probably smelled like nothing but shit. Still, she grinned. She was home.

FAITHE: High Roller Wrestlin’...reach out and touch FAITHE.

The cigarette was thrown on the ground, stomped out, before a blackout.

BACKSTAGE
As the scene cut to the backstage area, it seemed that it was picked up in one of the locker rooms. But this didn’t look like any ordinary locker room, this looked more like a room from one of the theatres on Broadway, the star actresses personal room. A huge mirror, surrounded by bright light bulbs was the centre point of the scene, the bulbs glowing in the brightest of whites, gently flickering. Upon the dresser table were all varieties of perfume and makeup, all arranged in alphabetical order and not a single thing could be seen as out of place. A figure sat there in a chair, a director’s chair, with the word “Champion” written upon the back in glistening gold letters.

Athena Adler: You know, we have given you all enough time, and enough breathing space to spew your nonsense before speaking up. You know, we are ever so gracious, but it really has come to the point that the people watching are sick of your generic claims. Oh by the Goddess, you all pain the ears.

Athena Adler had a smug grin on her pretty face, powdering herself with makeup as she spoke, more focused on the mirror than anything else.

Athena Adler: And your faces burn the eyes. Go to La La Land and sort that, please. The entire world is begging you. Stop being so disgusting.

She grimaced as she stared into the mirror, that wicked witch looking disgusted by whatever popped up in her mind.

Athena Adler: But let me move onto more pressing and important matters… Such as me!

At this point, Athena span to face the camera, a hand on her chest as she took a breath, acting more like she had literally just won an Academy award rather than giving a speech on the reopening of High Roller Wrestling.

Athena Adler: Las Vegas, Nevada. Oh you are so special to me. This is the city that I first met my wife in. It’s the place where I married her, the place where I have won so many championships and contests. Fairly and squarely, I might add. So it is so fitting that the next chapter in the Janus Dynasty happens here. We practically have a home field advantage that none of you could ever dream of having.. But it isn’t out of the ordinary for any of you to be jealous of us. To be honest, it is expected.

Athena giggled to herself, picking up a bouquet of flowers from the dressing table, taking a moment to sniff the rich fragrances.

Athena Adler: Let me give you a little history lesson, though you don't really need it as you should worship us both already as the Goddesses that we are. But we are, well and truly, the ORIGINAL and MOST SUCCESSFUL twin tag team that there has ever been in the wrestling industry. Me and Minnie have DOMINATED every tag team division we have ever entered, with record breaking reigns, championship accolades and history making matches! I mean, we broke all the records in RISE, we between us fought that company and shut them down for their mistreatment of us. We between us won every single championship in ECWF, making us GRAND SLAM Champions… And we are surefire Hall of Famers from everywhere we have ever been. And the rest of you… well, I’m not even quite sure why you were born. But well done for being here. I suppose that is your greatest accomplishment, so bravo. It doesn’t get quite much better than being in an arena with the Daughters of Janus.

Adler looked almost disgusted by the mere thought of opponents, rising to her feet as she held a hand to her heart.

Athena Adler: I am a TWO TIME WORLD CHAMPION, and I deserve all the homage that will be given to me. Nevermind this random, thrown together tag team match, and the ridiculous, biassed and fixed fan vote that said team whatever their faces are will win. I mean, voting for your friends is fine and all, but you’re only going to be disappointed when you find out they are not good enough.

Adler grinned, sickening and malicious, but filled to the very brim with confidence.

Athena Adler: So let us have this little triple threat tag team match the plebs have so been asking for, and let the Adams Twins watch on, and applaud us and thank us for opening the doors for tag team twins to flourish in this industry. They will watch and learn, and realise they are better off being tribute acts on the bingo hall scene. No matter, it is better than minimum wage. As for The Bauers, and Team Madness? You’re going to find out exactly why we have won so many titles, why we are at the highest point of the industry and why we are the very best of the best.

Standing uo now, the ego filled woman folded her arms across her chest, glaring deep into the lens.

Athena Adler: And then, Scott Dunn, with a victory behind us, we are going to show you too. Give you a little reminder why you are languishing in obscurity in every other company you have signed up for. And oh my, there are so many… You’re a merc with no mouth, but we will shut it anyway. Welcome to Janus Country… And Babygirl is here to win… Everything. El oh El. We are one and the same, and we will have it all.

Athena then extended her hand to the camera. The look on her face was almost hypnotic.

Athena Adler: Reach.

There was a brief moment of silence… And then…

Sophia Janus: Sister… I have missed you.

Athena turned to the door, her eyes narrowing as the young woman stood in the doorway, wearing the traditional zebra print of the Daughters of Janus. Athena didn’t look best pleased, but the beautiful Sophia only smiled, a stunning and broad smile, as she took steps towards Athena as the scene faded away.

BACKSTAGE
We go to the backstage Area where The Bauers are standing by

Steven Bauer: Well, well, well Finally The Bauer’s have returned to wrestling and that is bad news for everybody else. Everybody has been asking the same question “Why?” Why has one of the most dominant teams ever returned to wrestling at this time?

Steven laughs

Steven Bauer: The truth is we returned because wrestling needed us. We returned because without us HRW would never get off the ground. We returned because the money was just too great to say no and tonight we remind the world why we are not the team to mess with.

Michael Bauer stops his pacing and looks into the camera

Michael Bauer: Tonight we face off against Daughters of Janus and Team Madness. I know all about The Janus Twins as they are two of the craziest bitches around but guess what ladies I know all about crazy. I have had my way with crazy in the past so after this show I will be more than happy to get with crazy again. I’ll show you what you are missing in your lives.

Michael smirks

Michael Bauer: As for Team Madness I patiently wait to see what type of madness you bring to the ring. Is it really madness or is it just a delusion brought on by those that have delusions of Grandeur? I promise you once we are through with you the Madness you seek will not be the Madness you receive and you will suffer our wrath!

Steven calms his brother down

Steven Bauer: Save it for the ring brother. Tonight we make our mark and put HRW on notice that this is our Tag Team Division and then we enter that battle royal and show HRW that this is OUR fed. Singles or Tag Team all roads lead to The Bauers and that is something nobody here will be able to withstand!

Michael Bauer: See you soon Ladies. I look forward to see how much you can really take!

BACKSTAGE
As the camera cut away from ringside, it picked itself up in a dark, dark room. There wasn’t much light at all, all for a few candlelights held within lanterns. These seemed to be scattered along the floor, seemingly at random, the flames dancing in the very light breeze that was blowing through an open window.

Minerva Janus: We danced through the plains as the skies grew black, we crawled through mud with the devil on our backs. But we came right through, and we’re still on track. The Daughters are here, and you’re all about to crack.

Came the singing voice of Minerva Janus, the lights of the lanterns flickering with every word spoke.

Minerva Janus: Our story is sung, and yours are all lame. When you lay on the mat, can you figure who to blame? The victory is ours, and for this we will claim. When you’re crying on the mat, that will be your claim to fame. We fought, we bleed, we cried, we battled, we screamed, we roared, we killed, we won. That is what we do. Oh, I know, I know, I know, oh! That is what the Daughters of Janus do. When we team, when fight alone, when we enter battle royales to change the world. Oh we know. Oh we do.

As the lights flashed, Minerva could be seen there, laying on a bed of winter roses and candles. The wicks were suddenly aflame, illuminating the multi time champion, her wild eyes glaring into the camera. Were they blue? Green? Brown? Red/? They seemed to change colour until they rested on a rich, royal purple.

Minerva Janus: Tweet, tweet, tweet as you want. Sing, sing, sing if you have to. Say you are, say you are, say you are winners… But we don’t care. And neither does the Goddess. And neither does The Light! The Light is coming for you all. Bauers. Madness. Dunn. One. All. Everyone. Everything. The Light is here and will consume you all in its beauty and radiance. So bright, so right, so true.

With every mention of the light, those flames flickered, a strong voice seemingly laughing in the background. Powerful, filled with emotion and certainly not belonging to Minnie. Whose was it? What was it?

Minerva Janus: I am here to bring the light to you with voice, and song, and dance, and trance and more. I am here to show you The Light is here, with fight, for what is right, and it is so bright. For gold, so bold, and truth be told, we deserve it already. We are truth, we are might, we are Goddesses and we are right. We start as one, we end never ever. The Daughters of Janus are here, not just for tag team victory, but the very tip top pinnacle of High Roller Wrestling. We want it all, we deserve it all, we are it all. We are one and the same, and we will have it all.

Minnie then held out her hand, glaring at the camera, still laying down on the bed of roses and flame, her eyes wild and wet and seemingly looking everywhere.

Minerva Janus: Reach.

There was a brief moment of silence… And then…

Sophia Janus: Sister… I have missed you.

Minerva sat up and turned to the door, her eyes narrowing as the young woman stood in the doorway, wearing the traditional zebra print of the Daughters of Janus. Minerva looked overjoyed at the presence of her younger sibling, the beautiful Sophia smiling brightly, a stunning and broad smile, as she took steps towards Minerva as the scene faded away.

BACKSTAGE
Echo & Alex: Let's hear it for your favorite tag team - TEAM MADNESS!

Echo & Alex skip into the scene clapping loudly, all decked out in pink, with glitter & sparkles everywhere and matching"Team Madness" t-shirts.

Echo Layne: Hi! - Welcome back, it's been awhile! But, we're back and we pinky swear promise that we aren't going anywhere this time!

Alex Monroe: We're back and we're coming for everything! We're going to show everyone why "Team Madness" is the best, why we're "Tag Team Specialist" and why everyone should be scared of us! Have you ever seen Madness unleashed?

Alex looked at the camera and smirked.

Echo Layne: It's unbelievable - it's crazy and pure Madness. Tonight, these other two teams don't stand a chance against us. We're the best & we always back it up! If we don't back it up, free cupcakes on us!

Alex and Echo looked at each other and laughed.

Alex Monroe: Daughters of Janus, The Bauers? Are you ready? Are you ready for some Madness? The Reign of Madness starts tonight! Because we ALWAYS come out on top!

Echo and Alex looked at each other and giggled loudly.

Echo Layne: Watch us, follow us and join the madness!

Echo and Alex hooked arms and skipped away.

RINGSIDE
As Liam’s music fades, he waves to the ringside crew for a microphone. There is a mixed reaction of cheers and jeers for the gloom and doom rookie. He waits until there is a hush in the crowd before speaking.

Liam Vaugh: What you’re about to witness will be something so shocking–so violent–it will be unfit for your children’s eyes. Turn your eyes away, the faint of heart must leave–for when I am done with Konnor Gray–there will be nothing left of him but a message written in blood for the entire High Roller Roster to see.

BACKSTAGE
We cut backstage to Jenson Idol with Sophie Grimes, lead interviewer of High Roller.

Sophie Grimes: Jenson, how have you prepared for you match tonight?

Jenson Idol: Aye, the battle royal? You can’t do much to prepare for them besides be in one. There’s not much like it but I’ve won them before.

Sophie shook her head.

Sophie Grimes: No! I mean your match against Padlock October!

Jenson placed his hand on his forehead and laughed.

Jenson Idol: Oi! I forgot about that boring twat! What kind of name is Padlock? She’s almost as bad as that dumb twat Destiny Davis!

Sophie’s brow furrowed.

Sophie Grimes: Destiny huh? I think she’s big time competition!

Jenson’s nose curled.

Jenson Idol: Oi! You’re wild, Soph! She doesn’t stand a chance tonight. I bet she loses to Ethan!

He chuckles.

Jenson Idol: Anyway, I have to go. I have a match to get ready for.

Sophie Grimes: Thanks for your time, Jen.

BACKSTAGE
'Bad Girl, bitches!'

A familiar voice and cackle is heard as DESTINY DAVIS walks into the frame wearing a bright pink jacket, her pink tights and pink sunglasses. She looked every bit the star she had been claiming to be.

DESTINY DAVIS: When it comes to star power, look no further than me, Destiny Davis. Before High Roller shut its doors last year, I was putting this place on the map. Vegas was the place to be, and those dice were HITTING! As a matter of fact, only one person was able to beat me and that person was the biggest loser in the company right now, Ethan Turner. What does that say about me, losing to someone I'm calling a loser? It means I had a bad night and on my worst night he barely escaped with a win, but what it also means is now we get a chance to re-write history, and I'm all about it.

You have held onto that win for dear life and used it to keep you afloat, but when the bell rings tonight, it's about to be on. All that clout you earned off my name is gone. All of that fake confidence is getting zapped, and you're about to get that lame ass kicked. It's funny, this is the Headline match, but it's only because I'm in it. I thought it was unfair for a quick lil hot minute, but then I realized that Noah, yeah we on a first name basis...but Noah gave me this match as a showcase for my talents, and as a way to get me on TV in the last singles match of the night so that I wouldn't be worn down for the battle royal main event. Now that's where my bread is about to be buttered.

Destiny rubs her hands together and smiles for the camera as the shades continue to cover her eyes.

DESTINY DAVIS: My sweet lil ex, Scotty, Ethan, the entire roster and of course, JENNY himself are gonna be gunnin' for me, and why wouldn't they? As the Bad Girl with the big spotlight, I'm standing in all of their way. Scotty has nothing to fight for. He wins he picks his challenger, big freakin' deal, trust me I know him. He's not worried about that. And Jenson? Bad Boy Season is already on pause for Care Bear season. You had your chance, and like everything else about you? It was short.

She laughs dramatically as the fans begin to boo her.

DESTINY DAVIS: But when I finally get my hands on that championship, I'm gonna make it pretty, bad, and a big deal. Scotty, Jen, rest of the roster? You're officially on notice. There's no party like a bad girl party, and tonight, I'll be celebrating all...night...long./div]
