**As always, thank you guys.**

"No no he always caused trouble." I mutter as I flip through more papers than you've probably seen in your life.



"Well did you even WATCH CWO?" Jenny asked. I glare at her.

"Yes. I know their work ethics though and that's it. I don't know they're personalities and how they interact with the boss."

"Maybe you should have researched that."

"If you gave me time I would have!"



"No one rushed you."

"No one except you."

"Shane just pick!"

"It's not that easy. Hmm I wonder if any WWE guys will come."

"Probably. I mean you were friendly with a lot of them."

"Yeah but will they leave the WWE, the place that made them big, to come to a federation that's just starting and might not last?"

"What happened to total confidence? Of course not all will come but some might! Plus you have the old talent."

"Confidence. Confidence. Yeah." I whisper. "Ok you know what?"

"What?"

"I'm calling some WWE talent." I say and pick up the phone.

~~~~~~~

"Talk to me." I answer my phone. I hear heart wrenching sobs on the other line.

"Shane! How could you?" Steph cries.

"Shh Stephy baby its ok."

"No Shane! We were all good! We had to stay together! We could have been a family."

"For two months? Steph we were never a family. We all share the same last name and the same throat cutting abilities. That's all. I don't mean to sound rude but it's true. I love every single one of you, I'm not denying that, but come one what was the longest we ever went without fighting?"

"But buying a new company and slapping dad in the face? How are we supposed to spend the holidays? If dad continues to win, you'll be mad. If you win daddy will be beyond pissed off."

"He should have thought of that before he ignored me all the damn time! I wanted to save the WWE. I wanted to make new storylines, Stephy I could have gotten the WWE back to what it was in the 90's. But he wouldn't listen."

"Shane! Yeah dad was wrong there but you also have to take some responsibilities. What you're doing is so third grade. It was his fault, his fault, his fault, he did it. You did it too!"

"I made him ignore me?" I laugh. She sobs some more and sighs.

"No but there were other ways to get noticed Shane. That was really uncalled for."

"All the other ways I seen were unfitting. I would have got noticed but for how long? Three months?"

"Is this what it's all about Shane?"

"I'm not following you."

"You did this because you want to be noticed? You want attention?"

"It's not as bad as you're making it seem Steph."

"No it is. Wow I'm finally seeing the real you. The true egotistical bastard that you really are. You really are dad's son."

"No Steph it's not like that."

"Sadly Shane Brandon McMahon, it is." Her voice is now ice.

"You've got it all wrong."

"No I don't. Call me when you change. Good bye." She says and hangs up.

~~~~~~~~

"Ok its Monday night, the first night we're on TV." I say and look at the talent. I got Jericho, Justin Credible, Al Snow, Ivory, Spike Dudley, Tommy Dreamer, Billy Gunn, John Cena, Mark Henry and all the CWO talent.

"All I can say is please go out there and act natural. I let you all keep your gimmicks. The only thing that changed is your feuds, and even some of them stayed the same. Our main goal is to wrestle and put on a great show. Our second goal is to beat Raw, and that is what we will do." I finish up my speech. Everyone goes their own separate ways to get ready. Jen smiles at me. We sit down and prepare to watch the first night of SMWO.
