I was standing off side of the entrance. I looked up at my lawyer Tyler Belson. He looked really nervous.
"Nervous Tyler?" I asked laughing.
"Well its not every day I appear on TV especially wrestling." He said grinning.
Scott had hired Tyler for me years ago. He was in his 40's and had brown hair and eye. He was really an excellent lawyer. I needed him to read the takeover papers. I wanted to make sure dear old Vince and family knew this was perfectly legal and on the up and up.
"Don't worry you'll do fine and you wont be out there long." I said.
"How about you? Nervous at all?" Tyler asked.
"No I've waited for this too long." I said.
My music hit. 'Gangsta Love', and we and Tyler started down the ramp. The fans were cheering, I was a fan favorite and I loved it. I jumped up in the ring and grabbed a mic and Tyler came to stand beside me. By this time word had been leaked over the years to fan sites and such it was no secret that I was Vince's kid from an affair. So everyone had another reason to hate Vince.
"Oh Vince I need to come out here or at least listen. This is my lawyer Tyler and he has some papers to read." I said.
I handed the mic to Tyler and he started reading the legal documents. It was in long drawn out lawyer Jargon but I was sure got the jist of it and the fans too by the way they were cheering my name. I looked up and Vince, Linda, Stephanie and Shane had come to stand at the top of the ramp. I wasn't happy to see Shane standing with them but I figured it. He was a McMahon he would back them up.
"Well Well Well its America's favorite dysfunctional family." I said laughing.
Tyler had climbed from the ring and took a seat at the announcers table.
"Hailey what is the meaning of this." Vince said.
I started laughing.
"Now come on Vince I know you're not dumb. You know exactly what those papers mean." I said.
"Listen you little bitch. Just explain what's going on." Stephanie said.
"Oh I forgot about you Stephanie. I will try to use small words for ya so you'll understand." I said.
The crowd was going wild they were loving this.
"Remember the saying 'Whoever has the gold makes the rules'? Well in a manner I have all the gold or the greatest share of it so now I make the rules. There was a emergency meeting of The WWE board last night. Since I have the most shares of this company you were not needed to cast any votes on the election of the new CEO. Mine was the deciding vote since I own more shares than anyone. You're now looking at the new CEO and part owner Of WWE." I said.
I swear they all turned white. Linda looked like a fish gasping for air.
"You little bitch I'll kill you." Stephanie said.
"I wouldn't if I were you sis. Because you could find yourself in the position of having to be a parking Valet if you piss me off." I said.
Vince had a look of resignation on his face. He knew it was all perfectly legal. Companies had take over's everyday. I stood there in the roar of the crowd soaking in the feel of power and let me tell you it felt wonderful.
"I don't have to explain myself but I will. This lies directly on your shoulders Vince. All a child really needs is love Vince but you denied me that. I was made to feel ashamed of myself like my birth was a mistake and an embarrassment. You denied me your name. You let your wife and daughter treat me like shit and you treated me like something that was distasteful. The best thing you ever did for me was to sigh away your rights so Mark could adopt me. Ya see I don't need you no more. I got a daddy and mother and a brother who loves me. The day you walked away without a back word look at me I made a vow I would make you pay. I knew the only way to hurt a McMahon is in the pocket book and to take there power so that's what I did." I said.
Shane walked down to the ring and climbed in.
"Hailey you're dead to me." Shane said and slapped me as hard as he could.
I didn't say anything. I just looked at him.
The crowd was booing him.
He got out of the ring and walked back up to join his family who seemed in shock. I seen Chris come running out and he started beating the hell out of Shane. The crowd was in shock. Chris has always played the heel and they didn't know what to think. Well Chris I think you just turned face without meaning to I thought. The crowd started cheering Chris.
"Chris stop." I said in the mic. But he was in a rage I was afraid he was going to hurt Shane.
"Chris look at me." I said louder.
Chris looked at me.
I held out my hand to him. He let Shane go and walked down to the ring. He got in and grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. He put his hand on my red cheek.
"You Okay?" Chris asked.
"Yea I'm fine." I said.
The crowd was eating this up and I smiled. I looked up the McMahon's had left probably to head straight to their lawyers to see if they could do anything. They couldn't I had this wrapped up tight. Chris steeped back a few feet with his arms crossed like he daring some one else to touch me.
"I got one more order of business." I said.
"I plan to continue my wrestling career so I'm not going to be able to be acting CEO and give it my full attention. I have however the perfect man for the job. That is if he will accept it. Scott Hall." I said.
I knew he would be shocked I hadn't told him about this. I smiled as Scott came out looking shocked. The roar of the crowd was deafening. This had to be one of the most exciting Raw's there ever was. Scott jumped in the ring. He walked over to me and lifted me in his arms and gave me a gentle kiss on the cheek and then set me down. I gave him the mike.
"Hailey I will be proud to accept you offer." Scott said.
I smiled at him. I knew he would do a great job.
"Okay now as for the new General Manager of Raw. I thought about this long and hard and one man came to mind. He has been banned from WWE for years because a feud between him and Vince. I for one think this stupid ban has went on long enough." I said.
The crowd was on there feet now. They knew their could be only one man I was talking about.
"Welcome to our new General Manager. "STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!" I yelled.
The whole arena went Nuts then. I thought the fans would come over the barricade the way they were jumping around. Steve came out throwing cans of bear in the audience. He jumped in the ring. He spent 5 minutes drinking beer with Scott and Chris and jumping up on the ropes to the fans roars. He finally came over and I gave him the mic.
"We all owe this little girl a debt of thanks. She has brought a new era to Raw which has become stale and stagnant under the McMahon's." Steve said.
Steve hoisted me up on his shoulder and the fans went wild. Steve sat me on my feet and Chris and Scott came to stand there with me and Steve.
"We just want everyone to know anybody messes with Hailey. They going to get a can of whup ass opened on them like they never seen, and I'm sure her daddy will be glad to fly out and kick some ass too." Steve said.
I thought I would go deaf from the roar of the crowd. I took the mic back."
"I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my daddy Mark Callaway, The Undertaker. Daddy I know you're watching. "I'm flying high just like you told me too." I said.
"I also need to thank Chris he's been my best friend through everything, and Scott hall has been my best supporter through everything. He's been harder on me than anybody. Some days I wanted to knock his head off but he always brought out the best in me and never accepted second best from me. I owe everything to Scott." I said. I went over and kissed both men.
"Now Steve I'm leaving Raw in your capable hands." I said and left the ring with Scott and Chris behind me. The fans were chanting my name and I felt on top of the world. We got to the back and Vince was standing there. He didn't say anything just stared at me like he couldn't believe he had turned his back on me.
"Kinda stings don't it Vince." I said and turned and walked off like he had walked away from me so many years ago. I had come full circle and it felt good.
