The scene opens up backstage in Shawn Stevens locker room. He's sitting on a chair with his face in his hands. The POW Heavyweight Championship hangs behind him. He looks up when Kip Anderson enters the room. Stevens looks like hes been through hell, but he has a certain glow to him. After the match with Morrison he knows he is now the best in POW. Kip pulls a chair alongside Stevens.
Kip: Congratulations. With your article and then winning the championship, the issues are flying off the racks.
Shawn: Heh, yeah. Morrison actually suprised me there for a bit. Gave me a run for my money. But in the end I did just what I said I was going to do. Now begins the Golden Era for POW.
Kip: Well, my editor still wants the follow-up piece. We got a couple weeks till the deadline for the next issue. When do you wanna take care of it?
Shawn: Honestly, I just want to relax for a couple weeks. Went through hell for that title. Now I have to face George Duke this week. He won the Valor Championship at First Rights.
Kip: Yeah, I saw.
Shawn: Best part is he thinks he's actually tough shit because of that. He honestly thinks he's going to beat me. Valor Champion versus Heavyweight Champion. Fading old man against young rising star. Old school taking on new school. And probably hundreds of other analogies. However, look what happened to Morrison. The "Undisputed King of Wrestling" was beaten so bad by a mere "midcard wonder" that he overhauled his personality and is now a changed man. What does Duke think he can do to me? OOOOOH, he's gonna get "crazy".....please spare me. He must already be crazy to think he can beat the Heavyweight Champion so easily, maybe he started his celebration a bit too prematurly and didn't see me beat Morrison.
Kip: He did say something about beating you so bad that he'd retire you.
Shawn: Is that even English? I haven't even hit twenty-one yet. No one is going to "retire" me. However for Duke saying that I might beat him to the point that HE has to take his old ass back to Jurassic Park or where ever he came from.
Kip: Are you really ok to compete? It's been less than a week.
Stevens waves his hand dismissivly.
Shawn: Hell, remember the UWL doubleshot. I had Chester Coban one night, and then Jason Daniels in a cage the other. Having a week to recover between Morrison and Duke is nothing. I may look like I can't do anything, but just wait till I get in the ring. Just like always I will be the only thing I know. Simply Sensational......
The scene fades as Stevens begins to get ready and Kip pulls out a laptop and begins to work on his next piece.
