The main event was a tag team match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in which the person to score the deciding pinfall would win the title. The match pitted champion Kevin Nash and Sting against Randy Savage and Sid Vicious. Savage pinned Nash to win the title. Other featured matches on the card were Roddy Piper versus Buff Bagwell in a boxing match, The No Limit Soldiers (Konnan, Rey Misterio, Jr., Swoll, and B.A.) versus The West Texas Rednecks (Curt Hennig, Bobby Duncum Jr., Barry Windham, and Kendall Windham) in an elimination match and a Junkyard Invitational match, which took place in a junkyard and the match could only be won climbing over a chain link fence and escaping. Fit Finlay escaped the junkyard to win the match and the Hardcore Junkyard Invitational Trophy. At the end of the match Hak put Finlay in the trunk of a car and Jerry Flynn riding a forklift picked up the car. Finlay was able to get out of the trunk before Flynn could put the car in a smash compactor. [6]

Reception

[edit]

In 2015, Kevin Pantoja of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 2.0 [Very Bad], stating, "Another bad show from WCW and they are especially bad from this era. The only match that is really worth anything was the Tag Team Title bout. The only other thing on this entire card to even crack two stars was the opener and that was based on pure entertainment over wrestling skill. I had to endure Swol, topless Piper, Rick Steiner vs. Van Hammer, US Champ David Flair and a damn Junkyard match. If I find a good WCW Pay-Per-View from their last two+ years, I’ll be stunned."[7]
