This event marked Brian Pillman's final match in WCW; in his "I Respect You" Strap Match against The Taskmaster, Pillman shouted "I respect you, bookerman!", breaking kayfabe, before leaving the ring.

Storylines

The event featured wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. [1]

Later that night, Konnan defeated OMG to win the title. The following night, on Monday Nitro , it was announced that the title match would remain at the SuperBrawl card with Konnan defending the title against OMG in a rematch.
