In the following match, The Hardcore Chair Swingin' Freaks (Balls Mahoney and Axl Rotten) competed against The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) and the team of New Jack and Spike Dudley in a Three-Way Dance. The Freaks and Dudley Boyz started fighting each other even before the third team entered into the match and continued to brawl until Jack and Dudley finally joined in the match and Jack arrived with a trashcan full of weapons. Dudley Boyz caused the first elimination by hitting a 3D on Mahoney. Spike and Jack hit Dudley Boyz with guitars and then Jack hit a 187 on D-Von for the win.[1]
Next, Taz defended the World Television Championship against Bam Bam Bigelow. Bigelow attempted to nail a Greetings From Asbury Park on Taz but Taz countered it into a Tazmission. He made Bigelow submit but the referee did not see it and then Bigelow fell towards the corner of the ring and both men fell down, going through the ring. Bigelow then pinned Taz to win the title. The ring was damaged and after the match the ring crew began fixing the ring, resulting in the next scheduled match between Al Snow and John Kronus to be cancelled.[1]
The main event was a dream partner match in which Chris Candido and Lance Storm were scheduled to choose their favourite tag team partners. Candido chose Shane Douglas while Storm did not reveal the name of his partner. Storm wrestled the early duration of the match on his own until he revealed his tag team partner to be Al Snow, who joined in the match. Snow tossed Douglas into a hole in the ring and then dragged him out of it to execute a Snow Plow for the win.[1]
Reception
In 2002, Scott Keith of Inside Pulse stated "Very low quality of wrestling on this show, which Paul E tried to compensate for by throwing everything but the kitchen sink into every match. It just becomes mind-numbingly dull after a while as he books like Dusty Rhodes on speed."[2]
In 2011, Arnold Furious of Wrestling Recaps wrote "On the whole a solid card with only the main event being a spectacular let down but I guess with half the ring missing they did ok." According to him, the dueling canes match, the World Television Championship match and Rob Van Dam and 2 Cold Scorpio's match were the best matches of the show.[3]
In March 2014, James Bullock of Capricorn City wrote "The brightest highlights from this event are matches featuring mostly wrestling and little nonsense. Case in point: RVD vs. Scorpio and the TV title matches are the things you’d walk away from thinking about the most. Not the rave party at the end or the over-hyped cane bout. Just when WWF and WCW were hitting their strides in the Monday Night War (ushering in the “Attitude Era” for WWF and WCW’s eventual demise), ECW (owner and booker Paul Heyman) was trying to throw everything against the wall to see what stuck instead of using smart pacing and making true moments mean something as they had done only a year prior. This is a mildly disappointing show to say the least featuring only two out of eight matches you should go out of your way to see."[4]
