The main event was a White Castle of Fear Strap match between Big Van Vader and Sting.

The event also featured The Great Muta versus Barry Windham for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship.

This was the first WCW pay-per-view with Eric Bischoff as executive producer, though he continued to operate as an announcer on television and his new role was only mentioned in the closing credits of the show.

The Heavenly Bodies (Tom Prichard and Stan Lane) replaced the Wrecking Crew due to an agreement by WCW Executive Vice President Bill Watts and Smoky Mountain Wrestling commissioner Bob Armstrong on an earlier episode of Main Event.

The Heavenly Bodies' SMW Tag Team Championship was not on the line, making it a non-title match.
