"XVI Sold Out" is read outside of the Ford Center in Oklahoma City for the latest XVI event. The bright neon yellow sign reads out the events planned for tonight. Honking and yelling can be heard as the arena’s parking garage and surrounding area is loaded with thousands of fans packing into the building. Just as it has been witness many times before a white Chrysler 300C pulls up into the parking lot. The fans that were walking by the car halt as they know who is about to step out. The fans are a young family. The mother looks to be about twenty-five, as the father seems to be a little bit older as his shiny black hair as been frosted with silver stripes of early thirty stresses. The two young children one boy and one girl are roughly the same age, and possibly twins that are no older than six. The father smiles as he points to the vehicle and the two children light up as they both have on Szaban “Champion of Champions” T-Shirts that look to be over a year old. The car door opens as Szaban steps out with his duffle bag in hand. The door closes and the readied alarm beeps, as Szaban takes a few steps forward he notices the family. Szaban stops as he looks at the family. Matt takes a look around as he pulls out his cell phone. As he awaits someone to pickup he steps back so that he can have the conversation out of earshot from the family, all the while still smiling and occasionally winking at a family member. The Dad starts to get worried as the conversation seems to be lengthy. Finally after standing in front of him for three minutes Dad reluctantly taps his children and wife on the back to carry on so they can get to their upper deck seats on time. The family walks away as a security guard begins to walk towards them. The family continues to walk as they pass him.
Security Guard~
I’ve got them.
The father looks back as the security guard puts his hand on his shoulder. They all stop as a worried look comes over their face. And the security guard reaches to his side.
Security Guard~
Sir this is a restricted area and I do not believe you were authorized access back here.
The father’s face grows from shock to concerned.
Father~
Sir I am sorry. You see it has been a long time since my family has been here and I thought parking here was alright as there was no one to direct me elsewhere.
The security guard smiles as he pulls out four backstage passes, with four ringside seat tickets.
Szaban~
Now I couldn’t help but notice Mom was carrying birthday cards, so that must mean somebody here is having a birthday.
The security guard grins as he walks off and the family turns around to see a smiley faced Szaban. The Mother and Father both have enormous smiles on their face as Matt shakes the parents’ hands. Szaban squats down as he looks the kids over
Szaban~
So how about it kids whose birthday is today?
The little boy and little girl both start laughing
Girl fan~
It’s my birthday
Szaban smiles at her as he hands her a Szaban “XVI ‘You got dropped!’” T-Shirt
Szaban~
Well happy birthday
The little girl smiles as her twin brother steps forward.
Boy Fan~
It’s my birthday too!
Szaban looks a little confused as the parents both simply smile and shake their heads ‘yes.’
Szaban~
So twins huh? Well here you go too.
Szaban reaches into his duffle bag and hands the boy another XVI Szaban t-shirt this one reads “You won a Championship? I won all the Championships!!”
Szaban~
Well now you all have your tickets. And you have your new t-shirts.. oh hold on Mom and Dad.
Szaban reaches into his bag as he pulls out two more t-shirts. He hands them to the parents who mouth ‘THANK YOU.’ Szaban smiles as he nods his head as he looks at his watch.
Szaban~
Well you know if you want to walk around the back and meet some people before the show now is the time to go, but hey make sure you stop by my locker room and I will see what else we can get for you.
Szaban waves as he turns and walks to the entrance shaking hands with the security guard as he walks past.
