[1] The show was held in memory of wrestling referee Mark Curtis, who died of stomach cancer at his home in Talbott, Tennessee on September 8, 1999,[2][3] with the proceeds donated to the Children's Miracle Network.
One commentator wrote that the venue choice, in addition to the "small but enthusiastic" crowd, gave the event a nostalgic feel of an SMW show.
[9] The show drew only 350 people,[6] a much smaller number compared to the 1,500 fans that had attended Curtis Comes Home five years earlier.
Tim Whitehead of PWInsider.com found the show very enjoyable and that "everyone involved deserves praise for volunteering their time for this tribute to a great representative of the best side of the wrestling business".
[6][10] Prior to the show, wrestling fans had the opportunity to interact with D'Lo Brown, Dominic DeNucci, Shane Douglas, Mick Foley, Tom Prichard, Al Snow and Terry Taylor in a special autograph and photo session.
The three men were subsequently joined by the rest of the roster for a ten-bell salute to the late Chris Candido, one of SMW's top heel performers during the mid-1990s, and a participant of Curtis Comes Home, who had died the previous week.
It featured 12 men including stars from Mark Curtis' home state of Pennsylvania, Lord Zoltan and Preston Steele, as well as Southern wrestlers The Ace Crusader, Count Grog, Dirty Dick Flanagan, Tony Givens, Beau James, Dave "The Science" Pillman, Dave Renegade, Dan Richards, Super Destroyer and The Hillbillies (Bucky and Cletus).
Golden was able to hit Thunder with his frog splash finisher but Barrie pulled referee Ed Foster out of the ring before he could count the pinfall.
[5][6][8] Next was a tag team match with Tim Horner and Cody Michaels facing The Turbanators (Jahid and Saheed) of NWA Blue Ridge.
They double-teamed Horner for much of the match but Michaels was able to score the winning pinfall when James accidentally hit one of the Turbanators with the team's Iranian flag.
[5][6][8] In the featured match on the undercard, Terry Taylor pinned Dr. Tom Prichard following a forearm smash to win the Texas Heavyweight Championship.
[5][6][8][10] Snow blamed his tag team partner for the loss and, as the two began arguing, someone from the front row threw an object into the ring which he used to knock out Brown.
The night concluded with Snow taking the house microphone and telling the audience that Curtis' friends were not only the wrestlers who participated but the fans in attendance.
