Trivia

Madusa walked out with a bottle of WCW Cologne, which was intended as a real product. She then said, "This is BULLSHIT!" and poured it over commentator Bobby "The Brain" Heenan's head. WCW's announcers would actually acknowledge how awful it was supposed to have smelled.

Hollywood Hogan simply lied down and let Sting pin him in what was supposed to have been Hogan challenging Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Title. Later that night, Sting threw out an open challenge and Goldberg, who had defeated Sid Vicious for the WCW United States Heavyweight Title earlier, answered and defeated Sting. The following night, the Title was declared vacant.

First WCW PPV appearance for Jeff Jarrett since Fall Brawl 1997.

This was the first WCW PPV booked by Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara. What was supposed to launch a new era for WCW tanked, drawing a pathetic 0.52 buyrate.

First mention of "the Powers That Be." As part of Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara's arrival, they made themselves the top heels leading to numerous references to the writers from "up North," as Russo and Ferrara had previously worked for the then-World Wrestling Federation. The Powers That Be would grow to a stable comprising Russo, Oklahoma (Ed Ferrara as a hideously unfunny Jim Ross parody), Creative Control (Ron and Don Harris as "Patrick and Gerald," a reference to Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco, who played Vince McMahon's "Stooges"), Curt Hennig, Jeff Jarrett, Shane (Mike Jones, aka Virgil, with the name a reference to Shane McMahon) and La Parka.
