The RAW part of the Supershow starts with Vince come down to the ring. He asks if Mr. McMahon will go to hell. He says Shane asked him the same question last week. He thinks if he offended Shane he might have offended the rest of us.
Will Mr. McMahon go to hell? No, he was there this morning. His driver picked him up at the airport and got lost and brought him to East St. Louis.
Don’t confuse his view on religion as blasphemy. He thinks all religions are the same. He has his own religion. McMahonism. He is lord of all sport entertainment and everyone who buys a ticket will worship him.
What would have happened if McMahonism had been around for more than 40 year. Like when Michelangelo painted the Cystine Chapel - shows photo shopped picture of Vince between the two touching fingers.
What if McMahonism was with Moses? Well Vince has his own commandments.
- Screw unto others less they screw unto you.
- Do not covet thy neighbors wife, unless she’s really hot - then it’s okay.
What if he was at the most famous supper? - Another photo shopped picture.
What if McMahonism went all over the world, to say Asia? - Photo shopped picture of him next to a gold Buddha.
What about Shea Stadium - Photo shopped picture of him with Pope John Paul.
It’s the theology of the future, theology of the masses. The point is that we are all in America where we can practice our beliefs. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion. He publicly invites us all to join him in McMahonism. He invites us to convert and become disciples.
There’s one person who won’t convert and is a doubter - HBK. At Backlash he will fall to his knees and worship at Vince’s feet. Vince again asks to be struck down if he’s lying. He says the god of McMahonism will guarantee a win at Backlash. Praise be the glory or Vincent Kennedy McMahon. *The crowd’s tone changes it’s tone from being pissed to some cheers.* Praise be the glory of the power of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. Praise be...
HBK is behind Vince and nails sweet chin music.
Vince is on the mat and HBK walks up the ramp looking totally pissed. They show video of what HBK just did. HBK is up to the stage but runs back down to the ring to make a rude gesture at Vince before leaving again.

JR asks how Eddie would feel about Chavito quitting.
Chavito says he and Eddie always stood behind each other and Eddie would stand behind him now. Wrestling is all he ever wanted, but maybe it isn’t what he’s meant to do. Maybe he should be a real estate agent. It’s not as glamourous, but he could do it and not fail.
