He then says he is here to collect Shane and McIntyre's souls. He tells Shane that he had a little of his respect for a while after giving him everything he had at Hell In A Cell and WrestleMania and living to tell about it, but just like most mortal men, Shane fell victim to his own greed and ego. He says that while Shane may be the best in this world, he and McIntyre will be nothing more than another couple of lost souls suffering the torment and torture of the acrid stench of death where he will send them. He says that this will be for all of eternity, and that the two of them will never rest in peace.
