WWA recruited former WCW ring announcer Jeremy Borash as booker and head of talent for its shows.

These included Jeff Jarrett, Road Dogg, Scott Steiner, Sting, Psicosis, Devon Storm, Juventud Guerrera, Rick Steiner, Jerry Lynn, Shane Douglas, Buff Bagwell, Lex Luger, Stevie Ray, Sabu and Disco Inferno.

Styles, Christopher Daniels, Frankie Kazarian, Shark Boy, and Nathan Jones (known as "the Colossus of Boggo Road).

The promotion had three in ring commissioners during its time, namely Bret Hart, Sid Vicious and Mike Sanders.

This tournament involved 4 quarterfinals matches (one of which was a battle royal), 2 semi-finals and a final held inside a steel cage.

This debut PPV was held inside a full-sized arena in Sydney and production values were of a decent standard.

The use of WCW style comic story lines also did little to endear themselves to the viewing public as a serious alternative to the WWF.

Some such comic storylines involved Australian kids TV performers, The Fruits in suits (who were a parody of The Bananas in Pyjamas), interfering in matches and former WCW joke team Lenny Lane and Lodi being allowed to compete in the semi-final after an injury forced Juventud Guerrera to withdraw.

Additions to the card were former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Scott Steiner and former WWF tag team competitor Brian Christopher.

Although the events drew several thousand fans at times the WWA failed to consistently draw large crowds.

Then Randy Savage was advertised to be appearing in the main event against Jeff Jarrett for the WWA Heavyweight Championship.

Andrew McManus opened the show with a prepared statement in his office, confirming that Savage would not be appearing.

He announced to the live crowd that Randy Savage was not at the show and was being replaced in the main event by Brian Christopher.

Former WCW World Heavyweight Champion Scott Steiner showed up, only to cut a quick promo and beat Disco Inferno in a two-minute match.

After the match, former ECW World Heavyweight Champion Jerry Lynn made an appearance to confront Guerrero.

During this tour Nathan Jones won the WWA title after winning a 4 corners match against Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner and Brian Christopher.

He reportedly missed shows due to illness and refused to wrestle for more than five minutes in matches, despite being in the main events.

This match was poorly received and only lasted about 7 minutes, which largely involved Luger pacing around and avoiding wrestling.
