Talk with the Former Boss
After receiving the tape from Ric I decided to go to Stamford Connecticut. I knew my mother would kill me if she knew what I was about to do. Mom always blamed Goldberg and Vince McMahon for what happened to dad. Maybe she's right. I'm about to find out if she is.
I walked up to the receptionist. "My name's Daniel Benoit and I have an appointment with Vince McMahon."
She looked at her computer. "Yes. Have a seat. He's almost finished with a meeting." She said indicating the chairs behind me.
I sat down and looked around at Titan Towers. It had all the latest computer equipment I noticed. On the way to this office I had seen a whole wall full of pictures with a sign below it saying in memory of. I luckily didn't have to wait long. Vince McMahon came out of his office to greet me. "Daniel Benoit?" He asked me.
"Yes."
"You look just like your father. Come on into my office." I followed him into his office and took a seat across from him. The office didn't look that much different then the area outside of it. Stacks of papers on his desk, a coffee mug, computers, and other things. There were a few picture frames on his desk. I guess it didn't really look all that different from Uncle Eddy's office. "What can I do for you?"
"Was hoping you could answer some questions about my father's death."
"I'll try." He said sipping at his coffee.
"What happened that night in Atlanta?"
"You sure are direct. Goldberg was going to win the title from your father using the powerbomb. I guess Goldberg didn't have it locked right and broke your father's neck. Such a shame that your mother and Tatem were at ringside that night. Did you happen to see it?"
"No. They left me home with a baby sitter."
He nodded. "Such a tragedy." He said shaking his head. "Any other questions?"
"Why did Shane leave?"
Vince brow furrowed. He didn't say anything right away. "I don't know. He didn't tell anyone he was leaving he just up and left along with Marissa. Have no idea where they could have gone."
The door started to open. "Vince I have the..." A gray hared man said entering the room. He stopped talking when he had seen me.
"Eric this is Daniel Benoit. Daniel this is Eric Bischoff my assistant."
"Chris' little boy?" He asked me. I nodded. I knew whom Eric Bischoff from all the stuff I've heard growing up. My mother didn't like him any more then she liked Vince. He seemed nervous for some reason. "I'll come back in later and discuss it." He said looking at me again before leaving the office.
"As I was saying Shane and Marissa left. Dustin Runnels is in charge of WCW as far as I know. Any other questions?"
"I saw a tape of the RAW memorial. You weren't there?" I asked. It was out of curiosity. I had noticed it in the tape.
"No I was taking care of some legal things. It was done just fine. I'm sure your father would have liked it." He glanced at the clock. "I'm sorry but I need to take care of some paperwork. Hope I answered all of your questions."
I got up and left his office.
