Tuesday, July 17th
San Antonio, Texas.
The shows starts with Shane McMahon in the middle of the ring, he gets a very respectful round of applauses, and he starts to talk :
Ladies and gentlemen , I know that you came here tonight just to have fun and not to hear some bad news.
As you know, My father Vincent kennedy McMahon has been killed, it is a murder, not an accident. That means that somebody hated him so much that he killed him.
I just can't believe that, my family and I are trying to stay united, but this kind of news just hurt us , you just can't imagine how..
The federals told me, they repeated me that earlier today, that nobody in the whole FBI folders has the same DNA that the murderer.
I cant believe that too, there are millions of murderers in this country, and the guy who killed my dad has never done something wrong yet...
I swear, I can promise you, that if , one day, I know who killed my father, i will make his life a living hell, I will make him pay for our pain, he's gonna feel our pain !
I'm sorry, it is really hard for me..
I just wanted to tell you, that today, ECW wrestlers will have to do the DNA test, I cant imagine a WWE Wrestler try to kill my father, but anyway, we have to do it. So every guys will have to do it tonight..
Let's talk about wrestling now, I have special news for you...I know that for weeks now, Both Stephanie and I have received some candidates to the General Managers of Raw, ECW, and Smackdown work that we offer, we are conscious that this is not an ideal situation.
We received many people, and we have to think about it now. But one thing is sure, next week , all the General Managers will be announced ! And I have a little idea for ECW !
All right, have a good night, and long live the WWE !!!
----------------------------------------
We are backstage , and Kevin Thorn and Ariel are talking.
Ariel says she predicts that Kevin Thorn will soon become ECW Champion, but she also feels that there is a danger above their head.
Kevin Thorn answers that it is impossible, they just can't be in danger, nobody is strong enough to stop him from his destiny, and especially not The Boogeyman.
Thorn continues when he says that his mission is to put The Boogeyman out of ECW, because this guy is not human, he has not human blood, he's not pure.
Ariel says that Boogeyman needs to be purifiated, and Thorn should finish him now. She then tells Thorn to let her, she needs to concentrate to predict the future once again.
Thorn leaves the room, Ariel sits down and starts to put some cards on the table. But suddenly her attitude changes, she looks stressed, she looks scared...She says she sees something horrible, something is going to happen, something terrific...
She just can't finish her sentence : Some red lights and smoke appear in the room, we can Hear the Boogeyman's laugh...Ariel screams, she needs help.....We just can't see anything in the room...
A few seconds later, Kevin Thorn enters in the room, he seems in panic, he wants to see what happened...but there is nobody yet in the room !!
The room is empty, he calls Ariel, he just can't understand what happened...But he looks on the coach and see hundreds of worms....
Kevin Thorn screams and says « BOOGEYMAN » !!

Back from the break, and we are now in the small locker room where we can see some federals, Shane McMahon and the wrestlers who do the DNA test..
The first who can see is Stevie Richards....he looks at Shane McMahon and says :
Stevie : Shane, you know I just didnt kill your father. I had a lot of respect for him, he was a great business man, he was a genius, and he was the man who hired me in this company, I just coudnt have done that horrific thing..
Shane : Thank you stevie, I appreciate your support. But this test is important, I trust the WWE wrestlers, I know that nobody would be capable of doing that barbaric thing. But we need to be sure, that's why everybody, including myself have to do this test...
Stevie : I know, but to be honest, I just admired Vince, really it wasnt me. He was like a father to me, I had a secret adoration for him. And you know what, I would have been happy to be a proud member of the kiss my ass club...Yeah It would have been great to kiss his ass...
Shane: ( disgusted ) : hmm Ok Stevie...You need to prepare now, I think you have a match against CM Punk tonight !!
Stevie : that wasnt schedule !
Shane : It is now, get out my way you freak !
Stevie walks away, Shane and the federals still look disgusted...
