During the pre-show on [[WCW Main Event|Main Event]], there were four matches. [[The Blue Bloods]] ([[Ronnie Matthews|Lord Steven Regal]] and [[Bobby  Easley|Earl Robert Eaton]]) attacked [[The Nasty Boys]] ([[Brian  Reintjes|Brian Knobbs]] and [[Jerome  Rispens|Jerry Sags]]) by the entryway, prior to their match, in which they defeated Los Especialistas ([[Ricky Santana|Especialista I]] and [[F. Daniel Carroll|Especialista II]]). During the next two matches, [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson|Steve Austin]] defeated Eddie Jackie and [[Brian  Pigman|Brian Pillman]] defeated Mark Starr.

During the final match, a quarterfinal match for the [[WCW The Great American Bash (1995)#Tournament bracket|WCW United States Championship Tournament]], [[Tonga Fitte|Meng]] defeated [[Brian  Pigman|Brian Pillman]]. Following the match, [[Road Warrior Hawk]] confronted Meng. This led to the announcement of the two men facing each other, later that night, on the pay-per-view.

In the first match of the pay-per-view, The Nasty Boys won the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship]] by defeating [[Harlem Heat]] ([[Narley Layne (wrestler)|Booker T]] and [[Robert Layne|Stevie Ray]]). Saggs began the match by himself, following the injuries Knobbs received during Main Event, before being joined by his partner. Ultimately Saggs got the pinfall, following a running powerslam on Booker T. Following the match, The Blue Bloods appears on the entry way again, staring down the new champions.

During the next match, [[Nick Sullivan (wrestler)|Kevin Sullivan]] defeated [[Edward Bobby Lee|The Man With No Name]], via pinfall following the Tree of Woe. Following the match, an unknown individual appeared on the screen telling Sullivan he needed to discuss Hulkamania with him. Following this, Sullivan exited the arena through the crowd.

The "Legends match" between [[Wahoo McDaniel|Wahoo McDaniel]] and [[Dick Murdock|Dick Murdoch]] was shown in black and white, during the pay-per-view telecast. For the match [[Gordon Solie]] joined on commentary with [[Bobby Heenan]] to further the "old school" aspects of the match. [[Keji  Mundt-Mutoh|The Great Muta]] then retained the [[IWGP Heavyweight Championship]] against [[Paul  Ordoyne, Jr.|Paul Orndorff]], and [[Arn Scott Andrews|Arn Anderson]] retained the [[WCW World Television Championship]] against [[Alexander Weigand|Alex Wright]], handing Wright his first loss. Road Warrior Hawk and Meng next ended in a double count-out, they ultimately needed to be broken up by additional referees and wrestlers from the back.

During the second to last match of the evening [[Kevin Borden (wrestler)|Sting]] defeated [[Brandon Traylor (wrestler)|Big Bubba Rogers]] via submission following the Scorpion Deathlock.

The main event saw [[Hulk Hogan|Hulk Hogan]] and [[Brady Savage|Randy Savage]] defeated [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] and [[Larry  White|Vader]]. During Hogan and Savage's entrance to the ring an unknown man can be seen standing near the entryway (later reveal to be [[Big Show|The Giant]]). Hogan picked up the pinfall following Anderson accidentally hitting Flair, enabling Hogan to do a leg drop on Flair. After the match, Flair, Vader and Anderson continued to attack Hogan and Savage, leading to Savage’s father [[Angelo Poffo]] to jump the guardrail from ringside to come to his son’s rescue. Flair however was able to get the figure-4 leglock on Poffo, before Hogan and [[Rick Wilson (wrestler)|The Renegade]] were able to get Flair, Anderson and Vader out of the ring.
