INT. UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN GYM - VERY EARLY MORNING
MARK SCHULTZ (27, 180 lbs., cauliflower ears) lifts a human-
sized, leather WRESTLING DUMMY from the mat to stand in front
of him. He performs a series of repetitive moves - hooking
one arm under the dummy's arm, then the other; one side, then
other. Again and again. It looks almost as if he's dancing
gently with it.Then, very fast, Mark spins quickly around behind the dummy,
grabs it in a bear hug, arches his back, lifts and SLAMS it
to the mat, landing on top.QUICK CUTS: Mark spinning, lifting and slamming the dummy -
first one way, then the other - first one hold, then another -
SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM. SLAM - over and over and over again.CUT TO:
