The Lights in the arena Dim, as the Image of Apocalypse appears on the screen…1968 - 2010. The sound of footsteps ring thought the arena as fire starts to come up from the stage as Mist starts to flood up and down the ramp. As David Shane steps out on stage in solid black with the world title carrying in his arms the coat and hat his father wore through his career.

You see the tears on all their faces as they start to head to the ring more. Maria walks out with tears on her face, War not far behind her as they all gather in the ring as David lays the coat and hat in the center of the ring…Sullivan lays down one of the tag titles, as Donovan does the same, War laying down the Hardcore title. The crowd is silent as they all mourn the loss of Apocalypse…tears are coming down their cheeks as a chant of “Apocalypse” starts up.

Wellington: it’s not often we witness the loss of a wrestler as important as he was…its truly a shame
David takes up a microphone as he looks out to the fans tears on their faces, as they still chant his father’s ring name…
David: Thank you…
David closes his eyes as tears start up again, he tries to cover his face as he looks to those that worked with his father…Donovan and Kevin…then to his wife. The fans continue their chant as David and they all join them…Scott and William take of their headset and start chanting it…Finally David picks the mic back up…
David: Thank you…He lives on through all of us…Tonight isn’t about him…tonight is about the men backstage and you fans…My father lived for the entertainment of all of you…He loved his fans more then he loved this sport…The Show must go on…

The fans pick back up their chant for Apocalypse…they go to footage taken of Apocalypse backstage at the beginning of his career. David’s mother standing next to him...
Interviewer: Why do you wrestle?
“It’s Simple I do it because I love this sport and I love the fans…Nothing beats the rush you get when you hear your music play…Boos or cheers it brings a smile to your face till you reach the curtain and get into character. Those fans make this sport without them, we’d be without jobs now wouldn’t we…I love all of my Fans and I know they will always love me”
