At The O'Connell Center in Gainesville Florida the ring was being set up for the Thunder taping, Chavito Guerrero was pacing backstage. He had just gotten off the phone with his Uncle Eddy and was still shocked about the news. Now he was waiting for Shane Douglas to finish talking to Johnny Ace. Shane nodded to Johnny and started to walk towards Chavo. "Shane I need to talk to you."

Shane stopped. "Yeah?"

"I just got off the phone with Eddy. He said Chris Benoit's on his way to the hospital. He hit his back when he took a bump out of the ring. I thought you should know." Chavo said and walked away.

Shane stood there shocked. Sure he hadn't talked to Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddy Guerrero, Perry Saturn in a year but this news still shocked him. He went into the locker room and called Eddy's cell phone.

'Hello?' Eddy answered.

"Eddy? It's Shane Douglas. How's Chris?"

'Not too good. He was unconscious when he was taken out in an ambulance. Dean rode with him. Perry and I are on the way to the Albany Medical Center.'

"Did you call Nancy yet?" He asked.

'Yeah. She was watching Raw and was a nervous wreck to say the least. She's catching the first plane up here.'

"I'm going to do the same thing. I'll just have to talk to Johnny Ace first. But I'm sure it'll be no big deal."

'See you later then Shane.' Eddy said and they hung up.

Shane started to look for Johnny Ace again and found him talking to Kronik. He waited for them to finish talking before he approached him. "Johnny I need to talk to you for a second."

"Sure Shane what is it?" Johnny asked.

"I need to go to Albany. I know I'm supposed to do commentary on Thunder because Scott Hudson had a family emergency. But can you get someone else to do it? A friend of mine was injured badly tonight and I want to be there."

"I heard about Benoit. I'll see if I can get Disco to do the commentary."

"Thanks." Shane said and went to grab his things.

As he was leaving the arena he could hear Schiavonne saying, "He's going to what?"

Shane couldn't hide his smile.
