The home video release of this event was the first wrestling video to be certified "Gold."
James E. Cornette's infamous fall off the scaffold did not go as planned. Big Bubba Rogers (Ray Traylor) was actually supposed to catch Cornette, but because of the sunglasses he was wearing, he misjudged Cornette's position. Cornette hit the mat with full impact, the pain of which caused him to pass out for a few seconds. Cornette claims to still have knee problems to this day.
Road Warrior Hawk (Mike Hegstrand) had suffered a minor leg injury in Japan prior to this event. He had such difficulty climbing the scaffold at the beginning of the match that he slipped at one point and almost fell. Had he done so, he would have also knocked Road Warrior Animal (Joe Laurinaitis) off the scaffold.
