Bam! The news hit people backstage so fast that they could not breathe when they heard. They cried, they drank, they left, and went on rampages, and they shared old memories with each other. Some news spreads fast with people backstage. Vince buying WCW, Stone Cold leaving and Eric Bischoff coming, but none topped or spread faster then this. For even through those were big events backstage, this just left people a alive and dead at the same time, for she was gone.
For the Billion-Dollar Princess, General Manager of Smackdown, the bitch that she was, Stephanie McMahon was dead. And the whole backstage was dead too, for the world stopped turning.
