The scene opens up a few blocks down from the Windy City Wrestling Gym. Stevens enters a building that is unmarked. Inside is all kinds of wrestling gear. Singlets, leather pants with all kinds of designs, two toned tights, elbow and knee pads of all kinds. There isn't a soul around as Stevens approaches the counter. Out of the back comes a young lady. Her hair is pulled back and she looks to have just been hard at work. She smiles at Triple S and he smiles back, she then blushes.
Shawn: Hey Maria. My gear ready yet?
Maria: Just finished it about fifteen minutes ago. Wanna come try it on?
Shawn: Of course.
Stevens walks into the back of the building and there is even more kinds of wrestlers gear. There is a set of fitting rooms that Maria and Stevens walk towards.
Maria: Your stuff is already in the middle one. Go for it.
Shawn: Got it.
Stevens walks into the middle fitting room and slides the curtain closed.
Maria: So this one is the big one huh? Needed something special to wear? You're lucky I like you so much and had nothing better to do this past week. Some of that stitching was a pain.
Stevens is shuffling behind the curtain changing clothes but responds to his seamstress.
Shawn: Yeah this is the big one. Kind of disappointed its against a man I once respected but he's long since lost his mind. But I guess it'll just be about the championships instead of respect and honor like I thought it would be. I don't know what caused Dave to lose his sanity. I don't know if the time off got to him, or he's thinking making a statement on me will get him back to where he once was....but he's sure not gonna beat me. I'll promise you that. The pants fit great, the vest too. Let me tie up the boots and bandana and I'll be out in a couple seconds.
Stevens continues to shuffle around.
Maria: Thanks I remembered your measurements. Lucky for you, you haven't gained or lost weight.
Shawn: Yeah well being in the ring every week running the same rountine and training sessions keeps me at the same level. You been keeping up on the POW shows? I know they're not broadcasted here but the gym gets tapes for the students to watch. Jay said you've been working on some of the trainees' stuff so you head down there quite often.
Maria: Yeah I watched the last defense with Duke and then that cage match. You've been on a roll. Hunter sure seems to be the underdog, and he's the veteran.
Shawn: Yeah that's how most of the people are calling it. I know I'm arrogant and confident in my own ability, but for once more of the predictions are for me to get the win. I'm kind of suprised, but those that are calling for Hunter to get the win are the ones who have never even watched a match of mine, or at least sure don't see how well I work in the ring. People blame politics and all kinds of bullshit on why they lose to me, but no one stops to see me kicking ass in the ring. Dave's seen it first hand the last two or three weeks and yet he still thinks he's going to beat me. I really wish he'd man up and not resort to the Morrison philosophy....I just got rid of that with Felon......I swear everyone who comes after me.....
Stevens slides the curtain open and steps out he spins around to show the back off. The camera pans up and down seeing his new ring gear. The pants are reflective gold with the S³ logo in green and black on either leg. The vest is black and green with gold writing saying "POW Midwestern Heavyweight Champion" on the back, and "Simply Sensational" on the front. The bandana is a brilliant gold with black stars throughout it. And the boots are black with gold writing of "Power On Wrestling" on the outsides. Stevens reaches into the fitting room and pulls out his green rimmed shades and slides them on. He does his signature pose for Maria.
Shawn: So whatcha think?
Maria: I have to say that might be my best work ever.
Shawn: I agree. You are amazing and I wouldn't trade your skills for anyone else's.
Maria blushes again. As Stevens lowers his arms and wraps them around the young girl. He lifts her up in a huge hug then lowers her back to the ground. As he lets go her legs seem to waver. She grabs on to the wall to keep her balance. Stevens removes his glasses and winks at her.
Shawn: I don't know how I can ever repay you. You've always been there putting out amazing gear for me. I may be Sensational but you're magnificent.
Maria: Maybe sometime we could....go out for coffee?
Shawn: How about dinner.....after I retain my title and take Hunter's?
The girl looks like she's about to faint but nods her head 'yes'.
Maria: Of course...
Stevens pops back into the fitting room and pulls the curtain closed. He starts shuffling around changing back.
Shawn: Well I need to change and then get out to Saint Louis.....when I get back we will go out a night on the town.
Maria grabs a nearby chair and sits down as Stevens continues to change.
Maria: I can't wait.
The scene fades to black as Stevens continues to change his clothes and the young girl has a smile from ear to ear.
