Vince Russo: "You know, I know you are all very excited to see me - but, I must ask - I would like a moment of silence for the departed Nature Boy Ric Flair. Because on Monday night, we all saw Flair get into his limo, tail tucked between his legs, and he told the Total Package 'Package, I am done with the wrestling business.' I - broke - Ric - Flair! So, now that Flair has resigned from WCW, I'm not gonna let him off the hook that easy. Because what you people don't know about is, you don't know about the other side of Ric Flair. You don't know about Ric Flair, the father - or should I say Ric Flair, the monster! For 21 years, he tortured this innocent kid, David Flair, right here! But now, have no fear, because now David has a REAL father that he can look up to. So David, I promised you the time. YOU tell these people the REAL story of the Nature Boy."

David Flair: "Everybody shut up while I'm talkin'! Let's face it, Dad - you were NEVER there for me. Maybe you were there for me, callin' me on the phone, callin' me from the arena, callin' me from the hotel, well you know what? Where-- shut up when I'm talkin'! Where were YOU on my first day of school? Where were YOU at my first baseball game? Where were YOU when I was at prom? Where were ya? He weren't there! Shut up! Well you know what, Dad, now it's time to turn the worm. You see me show up in that white Corvette of mine - shut up - it looks pretty good wrapped around me, doesn't it? And that tall, long legged blonde you see hangin' off my neck sometimes - that's not too bad for a guy that you didn't have time for! You got it? But you know what - the cat's in the cradle, so to say, and ahh, you know what Dad, I'd like to talk to you but you know what? I don't have time for you now! You got it? And you shut up!"

Vince Russo: "But wait a minute! This goes way beyond Ric Flair - because I'll tell ya right now, there's another piece of garbage back there that is just as guilty as the trauma and the turmoil that this kid had to go through - and Uncle Arn, you piece of crap, I know you're back there, so you come out here and face the music, punk! This kid's got something to say!

[Arn Anderson kommt zum Theme der Horsemen zum Ring]

Kill that pathtetic music - what is this, a stampede? You've got a microphone in your hand - you've got something to say, you'd better say it quickly, Arn."

Arn Anderson: After what you've done, all you can come up for an explanation is, 'I'm mad at you, Dad?' And THIS is your answer to your father? Let me tell you a little something about your surrogate father, David. Hell, I didn't even know my dad - never met him - I didn't know my mother either. This ain't a 'poor poor pitiful me' story - this is to tell ya I know where you're coming from. You know what he is? You know what we call him in the back? He's a groupie! He's a groupie with power! That's a dangerous combination.

The reason he deals with guys like you and the guys in the New Blood is because he can control 'em, David. He can't control guys like Funk, your father, me, Luger, Sting - he can't control their minds! What he does is he gets in your head, because you're young. He can tell you a thousand different ways how he can make you. David Flair: eclipsing Ric Flair! You said your dad was never there for you. I know how hard it is to be Ric Flair's son. I was his partner fifteen years, and every time I came through ropes, in one of these towns, people compared me to Ric Flair. Right there I was, Arn Anderson - Ric Flair - was I worthy to be his partner? Well it was tough, but you know what, it made me part of who I am. That's reality. You understand, David?

You said he was never there for all those events? Maybe I can just enlighten you where he was, because I was there with him. I was running up and down these roads 320 days a year with Ric Flair having an anxiety attack so bad he could barely catch his breath because he couldn't be at your graduation. I've sat in his hotel room many nights with his foot stuck in a bucket of ice and water because his ankle was swollen so bad he couldn't even stand. I've seen him with a 105 temperature in the morning gettin' ready to work a double shot and I'd say 'Ric, how can you go to work today?' He would say people like you and you and you and you drove a hundred miles to see Ric Flair, the World Heavyweight champion, wrestle!

So I know you suffered, and I know Ashley and Reid have suffered, and I know that your sisters suffered, but there was something at the end of the rainbow, David. These people can tell you about real life - you go out in this town - you go around the corner from a ten million dollar office building, and you got people sleeping on the streets! It's sad but it's true, it's America. You never had those problems, kid - all you had to worry about is which college am I going to - which private school? What kinda car am I gonna get at graduation? That's what you had."

Russo: "He's heard enough, Arn! And I don't wanna hear any more, quite frankly, either. Because let me tell ya the way David and I see things! The way David and I see things are you are full of horse CRAP! You come out here with a tale of woe that David doesn't wanna hear, so let me make it real simple. I heard you say a couple weeks ago that Arn has one good fight left in 'im. Well, guess what, Arn - that one good fight is gonna take place tonight! You're right baby - because tonight in this ring, you will have your punk ass in that corner, and David's ass will be in that corner. And Uncle Arn, tonight, baby, we are gonna be done with you as well!"

Arn Anderson: "Well, you know, Magic Man, and I guess you can make things happen after all... I probably got a friend or two back there that'll loan me a pair of boots and a pair of sweats. So, look at that stack of dimes standing there, your mentor, and let me just tell you like it is, pally - I ain't the Enforcer no more, but pal, you sure as hell ain't your old man - let's do it."
