The first match was a ladder match between the members of the tag teams 3 Count (Shane Helms and Shannon Moore), the Jung Dragons (Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi) and the team of Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias. The match began with them all fighting in their tag teams, and using the ladders. They then fought individually, and performed aerial techniques. A scaffold was constructed with the ladders under the contract suspended above the ring. At the end of the match, the Jung Dragons, Knoble and Karagias were sent off the scaffold, leaving 3 Count. They retrieved the contract at the same time to become the winners of the match.

The second match was between Lance Storm and The Cat. The match started back and forth until Storm gained the advantage with punches and lariats. The Cat fought back, but Elix Skipper, who accompanied Storm, pulled The Cat out of the ring, and attacked him. Storm sent The Cat into the guard rail, and performed a missile dropkick. The Cat fought back briefly until Jim Duggan came down, and hit him. Storm forced The Cat to submit with the Canadian Maple Leaf, and won the match. After the match, Skipper and Storm beat down Duggan until The Cat fought them off.

The third match was between Crowbar and Terry Funk for the WCW Hardcore Championship. The match started when Funk ambushed Crowbar backstage. They fought inside a truck, and Funk sent Crowbar through a table with a hip toss. Crowbar attacked Funk with a car door, and slammed a door into Funk's head. Funk performed a low blow, and slammed the door into Crowbar's head repeatedly. Funk handcuffed Crowbar, and attacked him with the car door and a steel chair. Crowbar fought back with the chair, and performed a slingshot splash to Funk through a table. Funk fought back with chair shots, and pinned Crowbar after a piledriver on the car door to win the match and the title.

The fourth match was between KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark) and the team of Big Vito and Reno. Big Vito and Reno had the early advantage, and double-teamed Clark. Clark fought back with a senton off the apron to Big Vito. KroniK dominated Big Vito until Clark and Big Vito collided, and both were knocked down. Adams and Reno tagged in, and Reno turned on Big Vito by performing a Roll of the Dice on him. The match ended in a no-contest.

The fifth match was an Ambulance match between Bam Bam Bigelow and Mike Awesome. The match started back and forth with both using the guard rail and a steel chair. They sent each other into the side of the ambulance, and Bigelow punched through a window after missing Awesome. Bigelow attacked with a chair, and performed a DDT. Awesome sent Bigelow into the ringsteps, and Bigelow sent Awesome through a table with a back body drop. They fought on the hood of the ambulance, and Awesome attacked Bigelow with the safety lights. Bigelow fell through the roof into the ambulance, and Awesome won the match.

The sixth match was between Shane Douglas and General Rection for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. The match started back and forth. Rection sent Douglas into the guard rail and ringpost, but then missed a moonsault. Douglas missed a punch with a chain he hid in his tights, and Rection performed a belly to back suplex, causing Douglas to drop the chain. Chavo Guerrero, Jr. came out, distracted the referee, and threw Douglas the chain. As Douglas was about to use the chain, Guerrero notified the referee of the chain, and Douglas was disqualified. Rection won the match, and Douglas beat down Rection and Guerrero.

The seventh match was a Bunkhouse Street Fight between the Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio, Jr. and Billy Kidman) (accompanied by Tygress) and the team of Jeff Jarrett and the Harris Brothers. All men fought, and the Filthy Animals had the early advantage with the use of the weapons. This ended when Mysterio was thrown into a dumpster. The match was changed to requiring the teams to tag, and Jarrett and the Harris Brothers had the advantage. They dominated Kidman, and the Harris Brothers performed an H-Bomb on Konnan and Mysterio. Kidman fought back, and had the advantage over Jarrett until the Harris Brothers attacked Kidman with a liquor bottle. Jarrett then pinned Kidman after a Stroke.

The eighth match was between the Insiders (Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash) and the Perfect Event (Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak) for the WCW World Tag Team Championship. Nash and Page had the early advantage until Palumbo performed a superkick to Page, and gained the advantage over him. Page fought back, and tagged in Nash. Nash attacked both Palumbo and Stasiak until Stasiak hit him with the title belt. Stasiak went after Page outside the ring, but Page performed a Diamond Cutter. Mark Jindrak and Sean O'Haire attempted to interfere, but Page fought them off. Nash performed a big boot to Palumbo, and pinned him after a Jackknife Powerbomb to win the match and the title.

The ninth match was between Lex Luger and Goldberg. Goldberg dominated Luger from the start of the match. As Goldberg attacked Luger outside, Luger pushed Goldberg's shoulder into the ringpost. They went back and forth as Buff Bagwell and The Sarge came down to be in Goldberg's corner. Luger hit Goldberg with brass knuckles, and Bagwell performed a Buff Blockbuster to Goldberg, seemingly by accident. Luger attempted to apply the Torture Rack, but Goldberg blocked it. Bagwell attacked Bruce outside as Goldberg pinned Luger after a spear and a Jackhammer to win the match. After the match, Bagwell attacked Goldberg with a steel chair, and revealed his alliance with Luger.

The main event was between Sid Vicious and Scott Steiner for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The match started back and forth until they went outside the ring, and Midajah, who accompanied Steiner, attacked Vicious with a lead pipe. Steiner attacked Vicious with a steel chair, and gained the advantage, applying the Steiner Recliner. Vicious fought back after Midajah accidentally performed a diving crossbody to Steiner. Vicious performed a chokeslam, and applied the cobra clutch. Midajah distracted Vicious, and allowed Steiner to attack him with the lead pipe. Jarrett came out, and accidentally hit Steiner with his guitar. Steiner fought back with a low blow and a T-Bone suplex. Steiner made Vicious pass out with the Steiner Recliner to win the match, and retain the title.

Famous quotes containing the word event:

    The event combined with
    Beams leading up to it for the look of force adapted to the wiser
    Usages of age, but it’s both there
    And not there, like washing or sawdust in the sunlight,
    At the back of the mind, where we live now.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    The frequency of personal questions grows in direct proportion to your increasing girth. . . . No one would ask a man such a personally invasive question as “Is your wife having natural childbirth or is she planning to be knocked out?” But someone might ask that of you. No matter how much you wish for privacy, your pregnancy is a public event to which everyone feels invited.
    Jean Marzollo (20th century)

    We can glut ourselves with how-to-raise children information . . . strive to become more mature and aware but none of this will spare us from the . . . inevitability that some of the time we are going to fail our children. Because there is a big gap between knowing and doing. Because mature, aware people are imperfect too. Or because some current event in our life may so absorb or depress us that when our children need us we cannot come through.
    Judith Viorst (20th century)
