Playing to Win
Prologue
Kansas City, MO 2010.
Kemper Arena was closed. Had been closed for eight years.
Some said there was a cure around that place. People tended to whisper that bad things happened in that arena. Things like stunts gone tragically wrong and mass murders.
In 2009, the city council of Kansas City, Missouri passed unanimously to renovate the arena and reopen it in February 2010. Many people in the city were opposed, stating the curse and the terrible tragedies as reasons for never opening the arena again. Some augured for tearing down the building completely and building something else in it's place. The arguments fell on deaf ears, and the building was scheduled to reopen with a rodeo on Valentine's Day, 2010.
Some among the council and event organizers had proposed that one of the first events held in the newly renovated arena be a professional wrestling event. That idea drew fire from those both for and against the renovation plans for Kemper Arena. People said wrestling brought nothing but tragedy nearly every time a wrestling event had been held at Kemper.
It was a valid point. There was the tragic death of Owen Hart on May 23rd, 1999 from a poorly executed stunt. There was also the Backlash Massacre of 2002. Nobody who had been at the arena on April 21, 2002, would ever forget the mass murder. It had been the last event held at Kemper Arena and the final event the World Wrestling Federation would ever see.
Up until the halfway point of the Backlash PPV, fans had been treated to a relatively normal WWF PPV. Then a disgruntled former wrestling promoter named Eric Bischoff and a group called the nWo among other disgruntled wrestlers and wrestling personalities invaded the PPV and began killing wrestlers left and right. Nobody on TV ever saw what happened since the feed was cut as soon as Brock Lesner heinously broke a female wrestler named Lita's neck. The people at the arena, however remembered all too clearly.
The crowd watched helplessly as Eric's murderous band killed wrestler after wrestler. Even those backstage like Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko were savagely killed. A traitor to the WWF helped haul Vince McMahon, Ric Flair, and Hunter Hearst, Helmsley to the ring for the grand 'finale.' The traitor took pleasure in watching Eric Bischoff kill Ric Flair, while slitting Triple H's throat with the blade that killed Flair among others. The traitor paused hydrochloric acid in Vince McMahon's face and then stabbed him in the gut.
The next night on what the fans hoped would be a memorial RAW, the traitor and the nWo hauled Linda McMahon and her son Shane into the ring. As the nWo held Shane and forced him to watch in horror, the traitor slit Linda's throat much in the way Triple H's was slit. The individual who sold out the WWF then took great delight watching the nWo beat the eldest of Vince and Linda's children to death. Sadly his body was never seen again after the nWo carried it out of the arena.
Naturally most who had memories of those events were vehemently opposed to the idea of yet another wrestling event taking place in what many felt was a doomed arena.
As shocking as the events of that April night in 2002 were, the only thing that made it more shocking and tragic was the identity of the person who had betrayed the WWF and willfully helped in it's bloody demise.
Vince and Linda's youngest daughter, Stephanie McMahon.
Okay, what do you think? Please let me and my muse know.
