JR: The Raw before Wrestlemania! My, goodness, King, what a build-up we've seen over the past few weeks.

King: It'll be great, JR! We have Smackdown! Commissioner Shawn Michaels VS Y2J, Chris Jericho, the Great One the Rock VS Stone Cold Steve Austin, Icon 01, Ed Moorhouse against the Nature Boy Ric Flair, the new Icon 04.

JR: The Silent Assassin, King. And he'll be up against the Hurricane, who's still fresh off a huge win against the Rock! Also look for HHH VS Booker T for the biggest prize of them all, the world heavyweight title!

King: Vince VS Hogan, Brock Lesnar VS Chris Benoit...and we'll finally get to see Project Icon! I'm looking forward to this one, JR. This could be the biggest Wrestlemania EVER! HA HA!

JR: Sure looks that way. Speaking of the Icons, they've have been pretty quiet, but I have a feeling something big is brewing, and they won't be quiet much longer!

(Lights go out, crowd pops slightly. New Icon theme complete with new entrance video floods the arena, and the fans pop for the heels.)

(Icons 1-4 & Shane McMahon make their way to the ring, Tony clutching that briefcase.)

Tony: As you all know, Project Icon is unveiled at Wrestlemania. And after the impact it's gonna' make, I hope you enjoy Wrestlemania, really. Because it may just be the LAST WRESTLEMANIA EVER!

(BOO!)

Tony: You see, Project Icon isn't just some "gimmick," another "storyline" we're playing. Vince repaid me for full control of the WWE...with what's in this briefcase. The REAL, original contents of the briefcase. And believe me, he regrets giving this to me more EVERY SECOND!

Shane: You see, it was my dream to follow in my father's footsteps. It was my dream to run him out of the business. And now that I'm with my boys, the Icons, I can do whatever the hell I want and prove to everyone who the better McMahon really is! However, Big Shot, if I may, I'd like to give a little hint as to what Project Icon really is.

Tony: Be my guest, Shane.

Shane: See, a few years ago now, a little company known as World Championship Wrestling folded. Vince tried to buy it...but I outsmarted him and took it right out from under him! But as time passed, Vince gained control not only of WCW, but also he managed to run ECW out of business. And we tried to pull together in an Alliance...but that wasn't enough. Vince was the better man in that battle. And he won that battle. But he didn't win the war. Then Ric Flair got the best of him...and in a fit of rage, he brought in the NWO to destroy his own company! Even Vince McMahon couldn't beat Vince McMahon!

Tony: You see, the essence of this business...is COMPETITION. Without it, there is no wrestling! There is no WWE! It's just another TV show.

Shane: So Project Icon...will accomplish what no one has ever been able to do before -- beat Vince McMahon at his own game!

Tony: Ladies and gentlemen...at Wrestlemania, you will witness the birth of the future of professional wrestling! You will witness the birth of Icon Championship Wrestling! I-C-Dub is coming, Vince. And it's a shame...that even YOU, the great Vince McMahon, have NO IDEA how deep this goes. Let me introduce to you...the COMMISSIONER OF ICON CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING...SHANE MCMAHON!

(Crowd pops.)

Adam: Oh, but wait. Tony, you can't do that!

Tony: I can't?

Adam: No, what about Raw? There's no GM now!

Tony: Oh, that's RIGHT! I almost forgot. Raw's NEEEEEW General Manager! Ladies and gentlemen...STEPHANIE MCMAHON!

(Crowd pops for Stephanie, as she struts to the ring to her music. She smiles cutely as she shakes hands with Big Shot and waves to the others, who are all kind of watching this unfold themselves.)

Steph: That's right, Raw is MY show now, people. I've spent the last few months building Smackdown! into the better WWE brand. And now...I'm going to BURY IT! I've been dying to get off that lousy second-rate show. Raw is the big-time! This is where the Billion Dollar Princess truly belongs! So thank you Icons, Big Shot...and even you, Shane.

Tony: You're welcome, Steph, and I'm sure you'll do a fine job with Raw. And don't worry. When ICW takes over wrestling and crushes the WWE...you'll always have a home with us.

Steph: Ha ha. Thanks, 02, but you know...as you said, it's all about competition. And with me as General Manager of Raw...you'll definitely have your work cut out for you!

Commissioner Shane: Then may the best McMahon win!

(Icon theme hits as the Icons file out, leaving a smirking Stephanie in the ring.)

JR: I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I'VE JUST SEEN! THE ICONS ARE STARTING A NEW FEDERATION...WITH SHANE MCMAHON?!

King: Think they need an announcer?

JR: Oh, stop it, King. This is serious!

King: Ross, I know that! Just trying to lighten you up a bit. We're the WWE...those clowns don't stand a chance!
