“They get out and they’re putting us up against the van and all this other stuff,” Prichard continued. The Smyrna police officer accompanying the WWE shoot let the police know that it was a skit being filmed for television, but WCW executive Mike Weber reportedly insisted that the group was trespassing and was pushing for their arrest. Prichard said that he eventually smiled and offered himself up to be arrested, at which point “Mike Weber’s face went white,” as he realized that would provide great footage for WWE.

After things calmed down and the WWE crew explained themselves, the Smyrna chief of police reportedly still wanted to arrest the group, but it didn’t occur. The group was warned to proceed directly to the airport to get on their flight to the next show, but the decision was made to disobey that order and stop off at the CNN headquarters which, like WCW, was owned by Turner Broadcasting. More footage was filmed there before the performers and crew all eventually made their way to the airport and left Georgia without any arrests.
