WRESTLER INFORMATION:
Name: Sean Stevens
Nicknames: 'Triple X', the 'Blue-Eyed Badass', 'Planet Earth's Champion', the 'King of the Gladiators'
Height: 6'2
Weight: 243
Handedness: Right
Looks: Sean's look has changed a bit. He's no longer the baby-faced, pretty boy that melted the hearts of women with the wink of his angelic baby blue eyes. At the age of thirty, he's matured a bit. He still has mid-length golden/light brown hair, that he often pony-tails, a beard (minor peach fuzz)/shadow, and sideburns that come down to the bottom of his ear lobe.
He's average in size, with about 5% body fat, and typically stays in great physical condition, but the wear and tear has left its fair share of minor bruises. He has three visible tattoos, one, a 'Holy Cross' – on his right shoulder. A pit-bull – on his left arm and a portrait of a baby with Angel wings with the letters 'SJS' underneath in cursive.
Hailing From: Orlando, Florida
Disposition: Heel
Gimmick: He's narcissistic; intelligent, and good looking. In his heart, he truly believes he's the end all, be all in this industry, or simply … it's King.
Ring Attire: Sean usually comes to the ring in custom made, 100% cotton, t-shirts, with his catch phrases, and accomplishments on them. Black tights, with neon blue X’s on the legs and rear. And, a pair of Gucci, Ray Ban, Armani, Yves St. Laurent, or Mark Jacobs sunglasses on.
EPW Theme Music: "King Back," by TI (click link to listen:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CocIVvqOgcc)
Ring Entrance:
The lights dim.
SFX: Thunder, Lightning, Horses, Chariots, grunts, growls and other sounds of Gladiator-style war.
SCREAMING GLADIATOR: ….AND THE PROPHECY READ THAT ONE DAY, LIKE THE PHOENIX THAT ROSE FROM THE ASHES, THAT A BOY WOULD BE BORN UNTO A FAMILY IN THE SLUMS!"
CUT TO: EMPIRE-tron. …as several images flash starting with an up-close photo of a blue-eyed baby – crawling, playing football, and basketball … things that babies generally do.
"THIS BOY WOULD GO ON TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE HE GAINED, WHILE FIGHTING FOR SURVIVAL IN THE STREETS TO BECOME A GREAT LEADER!"
CUT TO: Several more images. The first was an older Sean Stevens, in amateur wrestling gear; in a cap and gown – signifying graduation. The scene then shifted to Sean in the audience, in what looked to be a wrestling arena, before cutting to the final image of Sean, in the middle of a death defying leap from a forty-foot high camera tower, as his foe – below – laid unconscious.
"AND IN TIME, THAT BOY WOULD GROW TO BECOME .... a KING."
CUT TO: The very last image. One of "Triple X" Sean Stevens in the center of the ring, being handed a crown, tired, sweaty, yet triumphant.
Suddenly, the EMPIRE-tron faded to black. And, for a moment, there was nothing but silence.
"Time to ride, n[BEEP]."
BOOOOOOOOM! Fireworks in the shape of an X shot to the roof, as "King Back," by TI blasted over the PA system, and Trip stepped through the curtain. He was immediately met with a chorus of boos – that he ignored – as he made his journey to the ring, in a 100% cotton "King of the Gladiators" t-shirt, black and silver tights, and a pair of millionaire "Gucci" sunglasses, which had minor drops of water on them, from his soaked light brown locks.
Ignoring the cat calls, and flash bulbs, Stevens didn't acknowledge anything or anyone 'til he entered the ring, and hopped on each of the four turnbuckles, thrusting his arms in the air victoriously.
Tactics/Style: High Flying Technician. Trip isn't the biggest dog in the yard, but he has the most heart. He is technically sound, learning all forms of wrestling from years of touring the world, and can leap with the best of them, and will try anything once, or twice.
Strengths: Stamina, Heart, Confidence, and his Cerebral approach.
Weaknesses: Arrogance, his disrespect for people he perceive to be beneath him, his heart (led him to many injuries he didn't have to have), his emotions, and his tendency to underestimate.

CHARACTER BIOGRAPHY:
Likes: Women, and winning
Dislikes: Losing, and not being in control
History: Sean has been wrestling since 1996/’97. He got his start in a little independent promotion in Orlando called the Xtreme Wrestling Federation, the XWF for short. Stevens was what you'd call, a hands on trainee, because he never actually went to school to learn the art, he was forced to create an image, a style, and a move set based solely off of things he's seen(because he was a huge wrestling fan), things he'd like to see, and things he's dreamed of doing.
He attended an XWF house show, and was basically dared, by a friend, to leap over the guardrail. One thing led to another, Sean got a burst of adrenaline, and not only leaped the guardrail, he entered the ring. The audience didn't know what to make of it, they simply assumed he was a part of the show, but the reaction caused the head promoter of the company, Greg Vaughn to bail Sean out of jail, and offer him a contract on the spot. Even though Stevens had zero training, wrestling was his passion, so he took the job ... besides, it had its advantages ... mainly, freedom.
For the next year and a half, Stevens ripped it up in that promotion becoming the hottest superstar on the roster, not to mention the most popular. He spent the better part of that year under the tutelage of another megastar on his way out of the building, "the American Heartthrob" Chad Hennig. Chad instantly took a liking to Sean, if not only because he reminded him of himself at an early age. He liked him so much, he allowed Sean to accompany him to the ring, as well as training him, and christened him, XXXstasy - Triple X for short. ...needless to say, the name stuck.
Sean always felt an allegiance to the XWF and Greg Vaughn because it gave him his start, and if not for them, he'd probably not be in the business, but there was little room for growth there. A lot of the wrestler's were old school, and didn't take too kindly to a young upstart stealing their spotlight, and let it be known by refusing to grant him a title shot. Therefore, after Sean's contract was up, with Greg's blessings, of course, he signed on to compete in another promotion with more opportunity, the EPWL. Right away, Stevens was labeled the next big thing, and he didn't disappoint, winning that company's World Heavyweight Championship two months into his stint. The looked to be the limit, but what Sean should've done was savored that moment, because it would be a long time before he won another World title.
From there, Sean joined Soul City Fantasy Wrestling – the SCFW – and rose up the ranks winning it's Intercontinental Championship, however, the unexpected closure of that promotion forced him to seek employment on a different circuit. He never forgot where he came from, and continued to work for a couple of promotions in Orlando, snatching a couple of titles for his mantle, but for the first time, he'd ventured away from home. He joined a renegade upstart promotion called the Hardcore Extreme Wrestling, the HEW, and it became a promotion that would change his life forever. There, he met Mason Xavier – known to many as "Havoc", "The Blade" Kendall Codine, Lint Douglas – aka "Zero", "Superstar" Vince Jacobs, "Total Elimination" Eli Flair, and Ivy "Poison Ivy" McGinnis, friends that he still has to this day, for the most part. While wrestling under the HEW umbrella, many would agree that he was arguably the most popular wrestler in the promotion, even winning "Most Popular" during the annual HEW award show his first year there. However, his inability to win the world title after numerous opportunities would dog him for the better part of three years.
From there, he wrestled in the TCW, the legendary CWL, and the SCW - where he finally broke through and won their World title, enjoying a long lengthy reign in the process. He also competed in the CSWA, and the fWo.
