The scene opens in the backstage area where a few superstars can be seen relaxing and enjoying themselves in the build-up to WrestleMania. There calm atmosphere is soon broken by a busy figure rushing through them. Shane McMahon is dressed all in black looks rather frantic as he hurries past fellow superstars and out towards the curtain. He stops however as he sees Butterfly Diamond. He smiles a little at her and goes over.



Shane McMahon: Hey baby, I'm sorry you didn't win your match against Jenny. Don't take it too hard, it happens to the best of us. Keep smiling, okay? You're too pretty to be miserable.

He winks at her and then continues on his journey to the stage. The arena goes dark and the fans begin to quietly mumble amongst themselves. After a few moments a large dollar sign appears on the tron and the crowd begin to cheer as "Here Comes The Money" by Naughty By Nature surrounds them. The house lights come back on and a grinning Shane McMahon appears on stage. His cocky smile grows even wider as the fans cheer wildly for him. He makes his way down the ramp and slides under the bottom rope and into the ring. He bops around a little, doing his 'Shane-O-Shuffle' boxing taunt and laughs as the fans continue to go wild. He struts over to where Lillian Garcia is standing. She smiles and blushes a little and holds out her microphone, offering it to him. He takes her hand in his and kisses it sweetly. He winks at her and takes the microphone.

Shane McMahon: ECW fans, what is up? That's right, the Mac Daddy has finally arrived to give you all a breakdown on the current events. I'm assuming you all know the deal with WrestleMania? It's the biggest grossing pay-per-view on the wrestling calendar and usually hosts the best card of all. This year's event is no exception as we have already seen. We've got Chris Jericho vs Triple H for the Hardcore Title, a Battle Royal for the Women's Title and the Six Man Hell in a Cell for the World Title. But have you all seen the latest and possibly most explosive match to be signed? Why so explosive you ask? Well it's a Fatal Four Way match for the Intercontinental Title. Still wondering? It involves Pyro, Maverick, Shaggy 2 Dope and .....

He pulls back from the mic and looks at the crowd with a very amused smile. He takes a few steps back and stops in front of Lillian. He lifts the mis up and holds it in front of her lips as she begins to blush again. She speaks clearly and very enthusiastically.

Lillian Garcia: Shane McMahon!!!!!

The fans go crazy, cheering and screaming as a over-confident Shane returns to his place in the center of the ring. He slowly, almost teasingly, raises the mic back up to his lips. He can't hide the huge grin on his face as the crowd continues to back him.

Shane McMahon: That's right. The Mac Daddy is getting his first shot at ECW gold this Sunday at WrestleMania! ~crowd cheer~ But it's not about the gold, no no. It's about the experience. Some people spend their lives dreaming about what it's like to perform at WrestleMania and this Sunday, I will be one of the few chosen to realise that dream. Whether you win or lose, it's not important. You can still walk out of that arena with your head held high, knowing you've been part of something incredible. Of course, having said that, I'm a little different from your average superstar. I'll be walking out of there with my head held high, the wild applause of the arena following me and the Intercontinental Title over my shoulder.

The fans show their approval once more by cheering and applauding loudly. He smirks that famous McMahon smirk and returns to Lillian's side once more.

Shane McMahon: Tell me Lil, do you think they're excited about seeing me win the IC Title this Sunday?

Lillian Garcia: ~smiling~ I ... I think they are excited, Shane.

Shane McMahon: And tell me this Lil, are you excited about it too?

Lillian Garcia: ~blushing~ Well ....

Shane McMahon: Oh I'm sorry, Lil. I didn't mean to embarrass you. Let me re-phrase that, do I excite you?

The fans cheer briefly and then hush, awaiting Lillian's response.

Lillian Garcia: Ummm ... yes, Shane. You do.

Shane McMahon: Excellent. Now how would you like to accompany me back to my locker room?

She looks at him in complete confusion. He smiles michieviously at her and she eagerly takes his arm. "Here Comes the Money" hits again and Shane helps her out of the ring. The audience cheer them on as they make their way up the ramp, arm-in-arm. They walk back through the curtain and down a few corridors until they reach Shane's locker room. He pushes the door open and signals for Lillian to go in first. She giggles a little and goes inside but stops suddenly. Sitting on the bench in Shane's locker room, filing her nails, was none other than Jennifer Krug. Shane looks a little surprised and then smiles. He quietly apologises to Lillian and she leaves, extremely disappointed. He stands in frot of Jenny and grins.

Shane McMahon: Well, well, well. What do we have here? Looks like someone's left me a gorgeous blonde. Man I love it when that happens.

Jenny Krug: ~laughs~ Hey, I'm here on business.

Shane McMahon: Oh that's right. You won some match or something right?

Jenny Krug: Stop teasing! I won fair and square. I'm your manager. Now be happy about it or I'll kick your ass.

Shane McMahon: Either way I win. Now tell me, do you think I'd look hot in gold?

Jenny Krug: Hmmm maybe. Of course you do! Now what about this match at WrestleMania. I've got mine covered but how are you fixed?

Shane McMahon: Baby, relax. I'm fixing to be the first, last and all time greatest Intercontinental Champ this industry has ever seen!

Jenny Krug: Uh huh. Sure you are, hun.

Shane McMahon: Jenn, I'm tellin' ya! Pyro, Maverick, Shaggs - they don't stand a damn chance against me! I'm the Giant Killer! I've beaten bigger obstacles than that. The Big Show, Test, Phate, Hogan, The Rock. Damn you name 'em, I've beat 'em. ~laughs~ These three guys, they mean nothing to me, Jenn. It'll be a walk in the park for me.

Jenny Krug: If you say so, I believe you.

Shane McMahon: Trust me, I've got it covered.

Jennifer shrugs as Shane struts over to her and slouches down on the couch next to her. He slides an arm behind her along the back of the seat and winks. She laughs as he starts to talk more about his upcoming match at WrestleMania. She gets comfortable and they begin to talk strategies for both their matches. All in all, Shane was quite pleased with how things had turned out with his new manager.
