You gave him everything he had in Hell in a Cell at Wrestlemania and you lived to tell about it. Just like most mortal men, you fell victim to your own greed and ego. You may be the best in this world, but where he is sending you two, you will be nothing more than a couple of lost souls suffering the torment and torture of that acrid stench of death. Taker says that will be for all of eternity. You will never Rest in Peace…
