The main event was a two out of three falls match, in which Lex Luger defeated Ron Simmons to retain the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Additionally, Brian Pillman was crowned the inaugural WCW Light Heavyweight Champion at the event by defeating Richard Morton in the finals of a tournament.

Originally, the match was supposed to feature El Gigante, Sting, and the Steiner Brothers against Oz, the Diamond Studd, the One Man Gang, and Barry Windham.

This marked the PPV return of "Ravishing" Rick Rude, who left WCW's predecessor company Jim Crockett Promotions for the WWF in 1987 whilst World Tag Team champions with Manny Fernandez.

Brian Pillman would lose the Light Heavyweight title to Japanese star Jushin Thunder Liger later in 1991 before regaining it in a classic match at SuperBrawl II.

Lex Luger (due to his contract only requiring him to work a certain number of dates) would not defend the WCW World Title on PPVs until SuperBrawl II in his final WCW match (before leaving for the World Bodybuilding Federation), losing to Sting (he did defend the title on the WCW/New Japan Supershow II in January 1992 against Masahiro Chono but it did not air in the US until March.)
