Intro
They wake up to find themselves in a dark, gloomy forest, the trail they had been hiking on hidden completely from site. None of them can remember the events which brought them unto this travesty, but each is ready to blame the next. The place where they've been abandoned is dark. Tangled vines wrap themselves around mauled trees and daunting noises can be heard in the deafening stillness. The sounds of monsters, too frightening to mention here, get closer and our heroes huddle up together.
One of the girls, petite with big, dark brown eyes, looks towards the sky. She sees the light, shining down from a hill in the distance, seemingly offering protection from the dangers of the shadowed forest. She informs her companions and they attempt to climb, but are stopped by three ravenous creatures, a sleek black leopard, a vicious snarling lion, and malevolent she-wolf (like in the Shakira song).
Paralyzed by fear, they turn back to the deserted forest, wallowing in fear and sadness until they spy a human form in the distance. The spirit reveals himself to be The Showstopper, The Main Event, The Icon, The Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels! Pleased to see him, the group gathers around him, begging for his assistance in escape from the dreaded forest. He agrees.
They start to walk, following the spiritual being deeper into the forest. He explains to them that the she-wolf will kill all that approach her, but one day a hound will come and chase her back to hell where she belongs (much like his ex-wife Rebecca). Until then, they are forced to take another path to the hill through the place of eternal punishment, then a place of lesser punishment, and finally to the paradise in the sky, God's city.
They are excited, but nervous all the same. They can't recall any who have travel through God's world of eternal punishment and returned, except for that dead guy who wrote a book about it, but surely they couldn't be on the same level as that man, to make it through Hell and back! Shawn tells them of a woman, the departed mother of one of their own, who has taken pity on their wayward souls and asked Shawn to come down to and accompany them on their journey through the Underworld.
The children (or young adults, now) are comforted to know that the woman they have looked up to and been protected by all their lives is still there in spirit, watching over them and ready to lead them back to the path of righteousness. Thus they follow Shawn deeper into the woods, landing themselves in front of a gate. The inscription reads Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate, Abandon all hope, ye who enter here. They begin their journey into Hell.
