Gertner introduced himself and did another classic sexual innuendo introduction that everyone loves.

- Sabu won the Three Way Dance Main Event. The match was changed to an unadvertised barbed wire match. There was some problems at first with the Pennsylvania commission as barbed wire matches are illegal in the state. Worked barbed wire was used instead.
Shane Douglas, with Francine, cut a promo before the match thanking the fans and that the man who owns the rights to ECW could "kiss our hardcore asses." Sabu made his entrance next with Bill Alfonso. Terry Funk entered last and was accompanied by Tammy Sytch.
Shane Douglas was eliminated first when he brought a ladder into the ring, set it up in the corner, but the lights went out. When the lights came back on, Mick Foley (as Cactus Jack) appeared. The building went nuts. Foley gave Douglas the mandible claw with Mr. Socko, which got boo's from the crowd. Foley wrapped Mr. Socko in barbed wire and then gave Douglas a double arm DDT that got the fans cheering. Sabu then pinned and eliminated Terry Funk after an Arabian Facebuster off a steel chair.
- During the close of the show, the entire locker room came out and circled the ring as Sabu, Foley and Alfonso helped Funk to his feet. Funk was giving a big ovation. Shane Douglas came out, gave a bow and returned to the back. A final and loud "ECW" chant took place as Funk and the rest of the workers walked off to the back.
