It took place on December 19, 1999, from the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.[3] The main event was between Bret Hart and Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

At Mayhem, the previous pay-per-view event, Hart won a tournament to become the new WCW World Heavyweight Champion.

[7] Vince Russo, who previously worked for the World Wrestling Federation, was hired as a writer, and made many changes to the programming.

The programming was changed in style, with more time devoted to non-wrestling segments, and more coherent storylines.

[10] The first match was between The Mamalukes (Big Vito and Johnny the Bull) and the team of Disco Inferno and Lash LeRoux.

The match started with Big Vito and Johnny the Bull dominating LeRoux and Inferno by double-teaming.

Big Vito performed a spinning lifting DDT on LeRoux, and pinned him to win the match.

The second match was between Madusa and Evan Karagias (accompanied by Spice) for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.

The match started back and forth until Karagias performed a hangman and a flying clothesline to the outside.

Madusa then pinned Karagias with a bridging German suplex to win the match and the title.

Finlay hit Meng with a lead pipe, and Smiley pinned him to win the match, and retain the title.

The fourth match was between The Revolution (Shane Douglas, Dean Malenko, Perry Saturn and Asya) and the team of Jim Duggan and The Varsity Club.

The seventh match featured the Creative Control tag team and Curt Hennig against Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and Midnight.

After Creative Control missed a diving elbow drop, Booker T fought back with a Harlem Sidekick and a spinebuster.

They fought to the ring, and Rhodes gained the advantage with the use of a cow bell, and threw powder at Jarrett.

The distraction allowed Jarrett to perform a guitar shot, and pin Rhodes to win the match.

After they knocked down each other with a clothesline, Elizabeth came into the ring, and revealed her alliance with The Total Package by attempting to use the spray on Sting.

Sting performed a Stinger splash to The Total Package, and attempted to apply the Scorpion Deathlock.

Vicious gained the advantage after attacking Nash outside the ring with the use of a steel chair and the guard rail.

Benoit was awarded the title earlier at the event due to his scheduled opponent, Scott Hall, suffered an injury and was unable to compete, and issued an open challenge.

The main event was a No Disqualification match between Bret Hart and Goldberg for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Hart accidentally knocked down the referee, and Goldberg fought back with a mule kick and a spear.

[14] In April, Eric Bischoff returned to WCW in a position that involved the managing and overseeing of the creative process.

Russo contends that Bischoff and Hogan were aware of the plan and agreed to it ahead of time.
