Val Venis confesses his guilt
Ivory kneels over fallen sinner
(Pics a the bottom)
Somewhere backstage Ivory, The Goodfather and Bull Buchanan stand in front of a locker room door. Ivory’s listening at the door. She mentions that Steven Richards is interrogating Val Venis. Goodfather asks if the rumors are true. Ivory says Richards will find out.
A few minutes later Richards comes out of the room. Val Venis is seen inside, not looking too happy. Richards tells his comrades that he fears the worst and they should be patient and ready to take action. Richards heads back into the room and we can hear him screaming at Val Venis.
Finally Steven Richards and Val Venis emerge from the room. Richards says Val has confessed his transgression and tells his comrades they know what to do as he stands aside. The Goodfather and Bull Buchanan then beat Val down while yelling at him for being weak. Ivory gets in a slap. Richards tells Val this is for his own good. They grab him and head for the ring.
Out in the arena the RTC drag Val to the ring and Richards gets on the mic. He says the RTC aren’t perfect but they strive for morality and decency. Val Venis says once he could look at himself in the mirror but now his own image disgusts him. He wasn’t man enough to resist temptation. He says that he chose lust above all else. He drops to his knee sobbing as he tells his comrades he’s sorry for letting them down and doesn’t deserve their pity. Val promises to cleanse himself of the immorality in his heart with their help.
Ivory is the first RTC’er to comfort and encourage Val, kneeling over him. Richards asks everyone to forgive Val just like the RTC has and helps Val up before all five of them embrace.
The Acolytes interrupt this biblical scene, clearing the ring of the RTC’ers. Richards is left behind. Bradshaw hits the Clothesline from Hades. Faarooq follows it up with a powerbomb.
Was it The Kat who was supposed to cause Val’s transgression and stir up the RTC? Whatever, her firing scrubbed that kind of plots.
