The scene opens in the dark hallway behind the POW stage. Stevens is standing alone dressed in his new ring gear. He's sipping water from a Aquafina bottle in his hand. The POW Midwestern Heavyweight Championship is wrapped around his waist. Stevens is rocking back and forth on his heels waiting to get his call to exit through the curtain and step infront of all the fans. Stevens is seen talking to himself, almost at a whisper.
Shawn: Hunter beats up some no name big hoss and expects to worry me that it was some guy with a knife nonetheless. Who the hell does he think I am? I don't care who beats in or out of the ring. Three hundred pounds, four hundred, one hundred, seven feet, eight feet, whatever. Hunter should obviously know that the famous line that Morrison probably tells to all of his dates "Size doesn't matter".
Stevens chuckles to himself.
Jay: Hunter obviously the smaller guy and less equiped was able to shatter bones in this giant lardass' face. And somehow that was obviously some tactict by him to look intimidating. Self defense my ass. Someone paid him to attack Hunter? Yeah Hunter himself. Didn't know he would throw money around like Pickles, Capaci, or Morrison to a lost cause. But his own little mind games don't work. And claiming to attempt to murder me....HAH. Murderous Entertainment couldn't even do that and murder is their name.
This Predator thinks there's something that makes him special? Hell I'll get the Governator cause he can beat Predators easily....oh wait I don't wanna play the game of "let's make a similarity to something in real life to make fun of my opponent" game. But really what does he have? Some minor accomplishments in his long long career.....my two MAJOR accomplishments in a short career speak way louder than anything Dave can try to shove in my face.
Stevens starts to count on his fingers using both hands more than once.
Shawn: Kings of Controversy, Controversy Defined, King of the Ring, International Champion, Predator, Hunter, all meaningless names to me. I've beaten all the famous monikers. 'Real' World Champions, Gods of Wrestling, Hardcore Kings, Kingslayers, Lionhearts, Death Eagles, Road Warriors, Current Big Things, Living Legends, Legacies, The Futures, Felonious Ones, Rawk Superstars, Made Men, Phenomenal Ones, Flanchisers, and so many more.
What do his names mean to me? Nothing. At least the term Sensational has face value due to the people I have beaten. And now I add a few more. All at once and claiming a third championship for my two year career. All by being only one thing.....simply Sensational. I've never needed anything more than that. I prove it every time I step into the ring. Yet everyone says they're going to beat my ass and take my title....nothing new. Always the exact same shit just a different person saying it.
Triple S takes another swig of water and pours the rest over his head. He begins to pace back and forth in the width of the hallway.
Shawn: I'm proud for Dave, finally getting his own locker room. Welcome to the big league. I've had my own locker room for my entire career. If that's a big deal to him then he needs to refocus on this upcoming match. But wait he has Mike McAnus manager of the assclowns as JTN put it so eloquently. Mike is backup for people who aren't confident. That's all managers are. Dave's obviously begun to doubt himself already.
He knows he's now in MY territory, POW territory. The last remnents of UWC will be gone tonight when their champions are proven to be nothing when compared to POW. Dave and Mike can bring all the reinforcements they can find from UWC. I hear Jason Dread, Slayer, Jason Daniels, Shawn Cage and the Baseball Furies need jobs now. Maybe they can all come with Dave tonight and make it a UWC Grand Finale Parade. Bobby McManus can even swing down to the ring and watch first hand at the opportunity he passed up when he didn't sign me to a contract when UWC was open. He can see how I take one of his top stars and champions and leave him a broken mess.
But maybe, just maybe his jetlag from flying back and forth across the Atlantic all week will catch up with him. I wouldn't be suprised. He hasn't even wrestled a match in over a month. Maybe it's cause he knows he can't go with the best anymore and he figured sitting out would be the best way to not allow any weaknesses to be exposed. But I've watched the tapes of him from UWC. When he was supposedly on top of his game. Nothing impressive. At least nothing that worries me.
I've seen him around POW since the announcement was made.....he's been clinging to that championship from UWC cause he know's it's soon going to leave his hands and be around my waist. And then gone from existence when it is unified into my own championship.
Triple S rubs the title belt that is around his waist. He looks down at it thinking deeply about what it has meant these past few months.
Shawn: My championship, because it isn't going anywhere. Hunter isn't taking it from me, no one's taking it from me. No one can. Davis isn't here to have Cody Cross pull a cheap shit victory out and screw me out of this title. In fact Davis can watch as the Tribute Match for him is nothing short of brilliant.
This night is going to be career changing for everyone involved, some of us will achieve yet another level of greatness and reach just that much higher to being known as THE BEST in the world. Others' careers will come to screeching halts when their biggest dreams are shattered in front of thousands. Some may stay in their stagnant positions if they can't show why they stand out.
The legacy of Supermania is to make and break careers......tonight mine gets on more notch in the MADE catagory, while Hunter realizes he lost to the better man. The predator became the prey and the defined controversy is settled with a snap of the finger. The king will be dethroned and a coup de ta happens in his mind because I will walk out that curtain in a few minutes, and shortly there after I walk back the winner. With two championships and even greater bragging rights than I have ever claimed before.
Tonight it all gets put on the line.......and the result will be nothing short of Sensational......
Stevens stops talking and hears the crowd starting to chant "POW" just beyond the curtain. A grin spreads across his face knowing he is with his fans, his people, in his homeland, for his title. Everything to lose but more than everything to gain. Tonight will be a turning point for Shawn Stevens, will the young man live up to the hype? The scene fades to black as Stevens takes a deep breath and starts to walk towards the entrance way.
