WCW Nitro August 14th 2023
Nitro opens cold with a shot of Abraham Washington backstage.
Abraham Washington: Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I'm WCW Correspondent. I am here live at the arena for tonight's Nitro.
Moments ago. I witnessed WCW Co-Owner David Arquette waiting with a group of local law enforcement officers in the arena parking garage. As WCW Head of Creative Vince Russo arrived here tonight it was quite the tense situation. Rather than being escorted off arena property. The law enforcement officers escorted Vince Russo to the locker room you see here behind me.
We have now learned that Mr. Arquette has ordered Vince Russo to remain in this locker room until the main event later on tonight. We know that Vince Russo is scheduled to be the special guest referee as Mr. Arquette faces Jamie Kennedy in a steel cage. The WCW United States Championship will be on the line.
When I asked Mr. Arquette for an official statement regarding the reason for his actions. He said, and I quote, "Mr. Russo is a person of interest in the string of attacks that have occurred in WCW lately. That for the sake of his own personal safety, as well as the personal safety of his scheduled opponent. Mr. Russo has been put into a temporary custody to assure that nothing happens to compromise the main event that is scheduled for later tonight."
Joey Styles: Welcome to WCW Nitro ladies and gentlemen. As you just heard for WCW Correspondent Abraham Washington. WCW Co-Owner David Arquette has arrived here tonight. We also just heard confirmation that WCW Head of Creative is also in the building.
Mark Madden: Joey, hate to cut you off but I just heard from the back that the A-Lister. Our WCW US Champion Jamie Kennedy has also arrived to the arena.
Mark Madden: Joey, hate to cut you off but I just heard from the back that the A-Lister. Our WCW US Champion Jamie Kennedy has also arrived to the arena.
Joey Styles: Thank you for that Mark. So all the major players for tonight's explosive main event are here. Speaking of tonight's main event. We saw last week what appeared to be an attack of David Arquette as well as what appeared to be an attack on WCW US Champion Jamie Kennedy.
Mark Madden: Joey, this Ghostface AKA Vince Russo..
Joey Styles: Mark. You're not being impartial here. David Arquette claims that the identity of the masked attacker is Vince Russo. Let it be know that our esteemed leader has never substantiated those claims.
Mark Madden: Joey you were rude just now by interrupting me. As I was saying.. This ghostface has been reeking absolute havoc here in World Championship Wrestling. There is an atmosphere of fear here at the arena tonight. All the WCW employees are nervous not knowing who might be next. I was scared just walking from my rental into the arena here tonight.
Joey Styles: Well if Vince Russo is indeed the ghostface. As Mr. Arquette claims. Then you should feel a lot safer right about now partner.
Mark Madden: I do Joey. Thank you for caring.

When I signed with World Championship Wrestling. I made sure that a bunch of things were written into my lucrative contract. You can call me a primadonna. You can call me a diva. That's fine. But you gotta call me your WCW United States Champion.
Arquette. So your worried about my personal safety huh? That's sweet. But honestly? Fuck you.
I wasn't worried about your personal safety when I cracked you in the skull 4 weeks ago. I also won't be worried about your personal safety tonight in that cage.
Russo. I don't know if you are the one who attacked me last week at the end of Nitro. But you. And the world really. Are in for a rude awakening.

A video package is shown of all the events that have led up to the main event:
Joey Styles: One thing that we did not show you in that video package was the event that set this whole match in motion. 4 weeks ago on the debut episode of WCW Nitro. Jamie Kennedy cost David Arquette his Quarter-Final match in the World Title Tournament. Kennedy blasted Arquette with a steel chair in a sneak attack from the crowd.
Mark Madden: Joey. Let's not get distracted here. This is a WCW United States Championship match between two professional athletes. Don't try to make this into something it's not. This is no blood feud. Both of these men are A-List celebrities. Both are thespians who are masters of their craft. Formerly close friends actually. David Arquette challenged Jamie Kennedy for a shot at the title. Jamie, being the gentleman that he is. He accepted. That's all this is Joey.
Joey Styles: Whether or not this is a blood feud. That we will find out soon enough. But one thing that we know without a doubt is that Vince Russo was dragged into this situation pretty much against his will.
Mark Madden: Oh Joey that is rich. You and I both know that Russo loves to be the center of attention. The man booked himself to be the main star of the show back in 2000.
Joey Styles: That was then and this is now Mark. Arquette says he wants Russo to be in this cage tonight to prevent Russo from attacking him from behind again. Well Jamie Kennedy got attacked last week too Mark. And all we know is that the attacker wore a ghostface mask during both attacks.
Mark Madden: Joey I have a feeling that we are gonna find out once and for all. Right now. Who is telling the truth. Mr. Arquette said that the world is going to get all the answers they are looking for. And that all will be made clear.
Joey Styles: Ladies and gentlemen. The cage is being lowered and that can only mean one thing. That it is now time for our main event.
