WWF Brawl For All - Aftermath

Aftermath

"Dr. Death" Steve Williams, got knocked out by Bart Gunn in the third round of his match, which lessened the tough-guy mystique being built for his character, effectively ending his push.

Bart Gunn defeated Bradshaw by TKO on the August 24, 1998 episode of Raw is War to win the tournament and $75,000. Bradshaw received $25,000.

After winning the tournament Bart Gunn disappeared from TV for a few months before reappearing to feud with former tag-team partner Bob Holly, now known as Hardcore Holly. He was later matched against pro boxer Eric "Butterbean" Esch at WrestleMania XV. Gunn was knocked out approximately 35 seconds into the bout and soon after was out of the WWF. Though Gunn's legitimate knockout of Williams did not bring him success in the WWF, he was seen with great mystique in Japan where Williams is highly regarded. He tours the independent circuit and Japan under the name Mike Barton.

As of 2012, only Bradshaw–under his real name John Layfield–and Darren Drozdov are employed by WWE, although Drozdov suffered a severe injury in 1999 leaving him a quadraplegic and Layfield was out of the company between 2009 and 2012. Most of the other participants departed the company within a year after the tournament, with Steve Blackman and The Godfather continuing to work for the renamed WWE until 2002 and Bob Holly departing in 2009.
