The event was attended by approximately 1,500 people. [1] [2] The commentators for the event were Joey Styles and Joel Gertner. [4]

The event began with Joey Styles interviewing Sign Guy Dudley. Dudley gave a promo in which he claimed to be the greatest manager in professional wrestling, then renamed himself "Lou E. Dangerously" (a reference to Paul E. Dangerously). Dangerously then introduced the returning Mikey Whipwreck. [6] [12] [14]

The opening bout saw ECW World Heavyweight Champion Mike Awesome defend his title against Mikey Whipwreck. Awesome defeated Whipwreck by pinfall using a frog splash. [2] [6] [14]

The second bout was a singles match between Chris Candido and Nova. During the match, Chris Chetti came to ringside, kissing Candido's valet Tammy Lynn Sytch before carrying her backstage. Nova went on to defeat Candido by pinfall following a Kryptonite Krunch . [2] [12] [14]

Following the second bout, Danny Doring, Roadkill, and Doring's girlfriend Miss Congeniality were confronted in the ring by Cyrus, who offered to trade the debuting Elektra for Miss Congeniality. After Doring told Miss Congeniality that he had no intention of marrying her and that he had cheated on her, Miss Congeniality slapped him, prompting Doring to give her a double arm DDT and Roadkill to give her a diving splash. Miss Congeniality was then stretchered out of the ring; this marked her final appearance with ECW, with Elektra replacing her as Doring and Roadkill's valet. [12] [14]

The third bout was a three way dance between Little Guido, Spike Dudley, and Super Crazy. Dudley was the first competitor eliminated when Little Guido pinned him following a Sicilian Drop . Super Crazy went on to pin Little Guido to win the match using a sitout powerbomb. [2] [4] [14]

Following the third bout, Simon Diamond gave an innuendo-laden promo in which he introduced the debuting "Dick Hertz" as his new bodyguard. As Diamond spoke, Jazz came to the ring and attacked him, giving him a Jazz Stinger before attempting to pin him. The pinfall attempt was broken by Hertz, who gave Jazz a Michinoku Driver , resulting in her being stretchered from the ring. [12] [14]

The fourth bout was a singles match between Jerry Lynn and Yoshihiro Tajiri. Following interference from Tajiri's allies Jack Victory and Steve Corino, Tajiri blew red mist in Lynn's eyes, then gave him a brainbuster and pinned him. [2] [6] [8] [14]

The fifth bout was a singles match between David Cash and Tom Marquez. The bout ended in a no contest when Da Baldies (Angel, DeVito, and Vito LoGrasso) attacked both men, then called out the Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Axl Rotten and Balls Mahoney). After the Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks beat down Da Baldies, P. N. News came to the ring and attacked both men. P. N. News and Da Baldies then beat down the Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks, drawing out New Jack, who was also beaten down, with Angel using a staple gun on his eye. [2] [4] [8] [12] [14]

The sixth bout saw ECW World Television Champion Rob Van Dam defend his title against Sabu, with Bill Alfonso accompanying both men to ringside. The match ended in a time limit draw. Following the match, Sabu refused to shake Van Dam's hand, mirroring Van Dam's refusal to shake Sabu's hand after their bout at Hostile City Showdown in 1996. [2] [10] [12] [14]

The main event saw ECW World Tag Team Champions Raven and Tommy Dreamer defend their titles against the Impact Players. During the match, Dreamer and Raven repeatedly failed to cooperate, eventually brawling with one another. Rhino went on to interfere in the match, attacking Dreamer. The three men attacked Dreamer and Raven until the Sandman made his surprise return to ECW, driving the Impact Players and Rhino away before celebrating with Dreamer and Francine.
