The event featured a live one-fall match between the Wall and Vampiro that was quite exciting. After the match, WCW wrestlers climbed into the ring with some of the film's actors to address the crowd. This was derailed when Jeff Jarrett showed up on the scene and instigated a brawl that involved himself, Diamond Dallas Page, and David Arquette.
