"XVI Sold Out" is read outside of the latest city to be home for XVI Side Effect. The bright neon red sign scrolls through wih the card for the night. Fans are loitering around outside and others are walking through the front doors. Screams and various yells can be heard as the building is steadily filling up according to the fire code. The cameraman walks through the front entrance of the building and past the ushers who are collecting tickets and returning the stubs back to the customers. The cameraman walks through the merchants that are set up in their perspective booths as he views all of the merchandise from Jihad masks, 'Did You Take Your Meds' T-Shirts, fatigue colored Corporal Punishment beenies, and plastic XVI championship belts. The scene countinues on as he passes more vendors and sponsors of Xtreme Vicious Intent such as Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Auntie Annies and the massive lines of customers at all of he locations. Finally, the cameraman reaches an area that reads 'Authorized Personell Beyond This Point Only,' a badge briefly flashes to the security guard standing at this post and waves the man through. Superstars are walking past as the cameraman travels through the hallway. Prozac and Ritalin can be seen having a conversation by the water bubbler, Rachel is seen on her cell phone, G-Dawg is seen walking by talking to an unknown female, and two 'security guards' are shown standing outside of the door marked 'VnB.' The cameraman stops at a door marked soley with a 'Z,' the cameraman reaches for the door knob and turns it then proceeds to walk into the room. A voice is mubbled then Szaban walks around from the corner with his phone in hand and has a less than please look on his face as he walks over to his leather couch and sits on the arm. Szaban is wearing white Air Force One's with the strap undone, baggy blue jeans that have a white streaky fade on the front and are cuffed at the bottom, a white undershirt with a pair of dog tags hanging over them.
Szaban~
Well look I can not come and pick her up right now, I have to go do this real quick. I just needed you to pick her up from Rachel's, and I appreciate that you did. I just can not get over there this very second.
Szaban pauses for a few moments as he is looking at the ground and intently listening to the person on the other side of the conversation
Szaban~
What do you want me to say? I am sorry, you know that this is not what I want to do. And I know that she does not want this to happen between me and Rachel but what other choice can be made now? This is all that can happen now, this is what it has come down to.
Szaban gets off of the couch and begins pace back and forth. He rolls his eyes at the comments he is hearing as it seems he is being lectured.
Szaban~
Mom! Are you listening to me? Look I will get there when I get there, and I will talk to her about this. I know she is mad because her parents are fighting but this is the only way Rachel wants it to be. I have tried to get back together I have tried to make us a happy family but it just has not worked. Just tell her that her Daddy loves her. And Mom stop tripping about everything, maybe this is for the best I mean nothing else has worked or helped in any way, so this might just be the thing to do.
Szaban shakes his head up and down while listening. He licks his lips as he looks into the full body mirror hanging on the wall.
Szaban~
Alright, Yeah I love you too Mom. I will give you a call later on. Bye.
Szaban hangs up the phone as he releases a sigh. Szaban walks to the door and the scene fades to commercials

appears across the XVItron, The crowd explodes into '"Szaban" chants as they are awaiting the entrance of the Champion of Champions... Szaban
SZABAN
appears across the screen The crowd screams and cheers as the name apears on the XVItron, The arena is entire blacked out but then a lighter is lit then another one, and at first it seems one by one, but suddenly the entire arena is lit up by thousands of individual lighters. The beginning part of Eminem's "Till I Collapse"; blares throughout the PA system and the blue neon lights slowly illuminate the arena
'Cause sometimes you feel tired,
feel weak, and when you feel weak,
you feel like you wanna just give up.
But you gotta search within you,
you gotta find that inner strength
and just pull that shit out of you and get that motivation to not give up and not be a quitter,
no matter how bad you wanna just fall flat on your face and collapse.
The intro has finished and "Till I Collapse" hits the speakers blasting into the air harder than ever. Szaban jumps from behind the curtains with an explosion of pyrotechnics behind him and the fans roar. Szaban makes his way down the ramp to the chorus of cheers and chants, stopping to pose and smile to fans while giving out random high fives. Szaban slides under the bottom rope and jumps to his feet. Szaban runs turnbuckle to turnbuckle playing of the crowd as flashes of light from individual cameras freeze the moment in time. Szaban is seemingly happier than ever as he continues to ride the wave of emotion that the sea of fans is creating. Szaban stands in the middle of the ring and raises his right arm over his head with his index finger out, pyros burst again as the lights come on completely. Szaban picks up the mic that was lying at his left foot and smiles as the continuos "Szaban" chants. Finally the crowd dies down and Szaban looks them over as he prepares to speak
Szaban~
Not too long from now I am going to face my ex-wife in a wrestling match.
The crowd joyfully reacts
Szaban~
Sure. I know that many people out there would love to have the chance to give their ex-other a DDT, crushing their skull into the mat. But I am going to be honest I am not a supporter of this match. I straight up don't want to do this.
The crowd reacts with a chorus of boos.
Szaban~
Oh do not get me wrong. I am going to come out to the ring, and face her and damnit I am going to win. I did not come out of retirement to lose.
With that the crowd goes back to the typical reaction for Szaban and cheers him.
Szaban~
Rachel I want to know that you are messing up with this. I mean did you even bother to think about how our daughter Rochelle felt about all of this? Cause if you did not then her Daddy can tell you, Rachel your child is upset because your ego could not keep quiet and she knows that Mom and Dad are going to be fighting and this time not with words.
Szaban pauses as he lowers the mic to clear his throat. He then looks around the audience at all the sets of eyes that are focused on him. Szaban raises the mic back up to his lips.
Szaban~
Rachel you and are going to go one on one, and just like in our marriage you are going to fail. You wanted to get Szaban in the ring? Well guess what sweetheart? You have got him! There is going to be no reason for me to hold back in this match, I am going to treat this match just like everyother one. You are going to come out to the ring do your little thing and then Szaban's music will hit. This is the moment when you begin regretting having this career and being in this match. I will walk down that very ramp and I will step into this very ring and stand face to face and toe to toe with you Rachel. Then the bell will sound and then it is down there for you Rachel. Until we reach one brief moment in the match and I allow all of your hopes and dreams to build up and rise to the top floor of non-reality, of fantasy. Then will the most impressive move in Sports Entertainment the match will be over.
'Szaban' chants consume the fans as they got even more than Szaban as they finally got Szaban to act like he truly does before every match. The chants continue as Szaban raises the mic back up.
Szaban~
Rachel this match is already over, because you just got...
Szaban drops the mic as the crowd in unison screams out "Dropped!" "Till I Collapse" by Eminem hits the PA and Szaban makes his way up the ramp and into the back.
