The event was attended by approximately 1,100 people.[1][2] The commentators for the event were Joey Styles and Rick Rude.[4]
The opening bout was a tag team match pitting Bam Bam Bigelow and Shane Douglas against the Pitbulls. Bigelow, who was making his return to ECW after being absent since October 1996, was introduced as the new member of the Triple Threat alongside Douglas, Chris Candido, and Francine.[5] During the match, Rick Rude came to the ring and carried Francine backstage in a suggestive manner.[6] Bigelow and Douglas won the bout when Douglas pinned Pitbull #2 after a kick from Bigelow.[1][2][4]
The fifth bout was a singles match between Louie Spicolli and Tommy Dreamer. At the outset of the match, Spicolli wore a cast on his hand due to Dreamer having broken his fingers; after Spicolli hit Dreamer with the cast, he removed it, revealing it to have been loaded. Dreamer won the bout by pinfall following an enziguri. After the match, Spicolli attacked Dreamer then gave Dreamer's valetBeulah McGillicutty a Spicolli Driver, causing her to be taken out of the ring in a stretcher.[1][2][4]
The seventh match saw Rob Van Dam and Chris Candido face one another in a "mystery partners" tag team match, with Van Dam selecting Sabu as his partner and Candido selecting Taz. Candido and Taz won the bout when Candido pinned Van Dam using a bridging German suplex.[1][2]
