The world is changing into a completely different place. The WWE had gone under, a series of lawsuits rendering them bankrupt, and corporate politics resulting in numerous quits and eventual firings. But for those who remained loyal and true, the file of chapter eleven was the final chapter in their book. On the day the corporate building in Stamford was to be demolished to build a restaurant and hotel, some of the superstars came to pay their respects in a quiet final vigil. Among them were John Cena, Randy Orton, Matt Hardy, and Chris Jericho, the four top players who had remained true to the WWE. There were others who wanted to be there but couldn't, Jeff Hardy and Lita were unable to make the flight because of weather conditions in California, where they were visiting RVD and Victoria. Triple H was in his home in Connecticut, but he chose not to go. He was rich, he had his power and now with the WWE gone, there was no use for him to cling onto the McMahon's anymore. It was time for him to go on his own way, it was time for him to purse his own true happiness, his one true love, and it sure as hell wasn't Stephanie McMahon, he would use her, for the last time…
Heaven's not enough
If when you get there
Just another blue
And heaven's not enough
You think you've found it
And it loses you
Stephanie McMahon sat in the limo with her family, it was cold outside and the sky looked like rain. The machines were all there and the demolishment began. You'd think it would take a long time, but one knock from the concrete ball, and the building fell to rubble and dust. Feeling the stabbing pain in their hearts, the McMahon family drove away and off to their homes, wondering to stop and call it quits now, after their money was made, or to start a new life…
You've thought of all there is
But not enough
And it loses you in a cloud
As the road crew began to do their work, Randy Orton put his hands in his pockets, the rain beginning to fall now, the drops pelting against his jacket. Where would he go now, what would he do? He stopped and looked around. Wasn't Lita supposed to be there? Something was wrong, he could feel it. Jeff was supposed to bring her. Speaking of the Hardy, where was Matt?
"There" most everything is nothing
That it seems
"Where" you see the things you only wanna see
The four stranded in the weather had finally been able to get onto a plane headed to Connecticut. Stephanie looked out the window as they drove on the freeway, she knew that Randy was waiting for her. Her cell phone was dead, but to no loss as Randy didn't have his on him.
I'd fly away
To a higher plane
To say words I resist
To float away
To sigh
To breathe.... forget
Hours passed, the day was almost done. The plane had already landed. Rob and Victoria had gone to a restaurant to eat, their relationship shaky but Rob determined to keep with his woman at all costs. Jeff and Lita were heading to the hotel, the McMahon's had reached their mansion, and Randy still walked in the rain. He went into an alley with the hopes to wait it out, but eventually hypothermia set in and he blacked out.
And heaven's not enough
If when I'm there I don't remember you
And heaven does enough
You think you know it
And it uses you
Chris Jericho was hungry but he'd left his wallet at the hotel, stupidity, a trademark of his character. John Cena was walking down the street through the crowd, heading back to the hotel. Matt Hardy was also hungry, but he soon lost that interest when he saw Randy Orton lying on the cold wet ground.
I saw so many things
But like a dream
Always losing me in a cloud
"Hey there."
Randy opened his eyes and looked up, "Hey."
Matt sighed, he could tell that he was just as depressed as himself about all this. But this was only the beginning. The weather was getting worse, "Come on, let's head back to the hotel."
Randy nodded and stood up, "Right."
Just like the others somewhere out there, they all headed back to the hotel, where the beginning of the end was about to happen.
Cause I couldn't cry
Cause I turned away
Couldn't see the score
Didn't know the pain
Of leaving yesterday really far behind
In another life
In another dream
By a different name
Gave it all away
For a memory
And a quiet lie
And I felt the face
Of a cold tonight
Still don't know the score
But I know the pain
Of leaving everything really far behind
And if I could cry
And if I could live what truth I did then take me there
Heaven goodbye
