->'''Alex:''' [[LetMeGetThisStraight Let me see if I've got this straight]]. [[LightEmUp Lightbringer]] and [[PsychoElectro Zilean]] just literally ''[[FlayingAlive flayed Anne]] [[GoodThingYouCanHeal alive]]'' and as far as I can tell, the investigation team's response has been to have one interview and then let the two of them go.

We weren't allowed to make mention of it, because it wasn't {{Wrestling/WCW}}'s idea.
