the win. Next, Al Snow took on Rob Van Dam. Bill Alfonso handed a chair to RVD, who hit a Van Daminator to Snow for the win. The Gangstas (New Jack and Mustafa) were stripped of the World Tag Team Championship due to Mustafa leaving ECW and The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) were awarded the title belts, who defended it against PG-13 (J. C. Ice and Wolfie D) in the following match. Dudley Boyz delivered a 3D to Wolfie to retain the titles. In the penultimate match, Tommy Dreamer competed against Jerry Lawler. Rick Rude interfered in the match by hitting Dreamer with a trashcan and Lawler gained a near-fall. Jake Roberts showed up next and hit a short-arm clothesline to Dreamer and then executed a DDT. Lawler extended a handshake to Roberts but Roberts hit a short-arm clothesline to Lawler as well, who fell on top of Dreamer for another near-fall. The action then continued until Tammy Lynn Sytch interfered to attack Dreamer but Beulah McGillicutty countered her interference. Lawler grabbed Beulah and tried to hit a piledriver. Dreamer tried to make the save by attempting a chair shot on Lawler but Lawler used Beulah as a shield, who low blowed Lawler, allowing Dreamer to apply a testicular claw and a DDT for the win. Main event match Sabu defended the World Heavyweight Championship against Terry Funk and Shane Douglas in a three-way dance. The Sandman was taken out by Sabu and Rob Van Dam earlier in the show but came back to the arena in an ambulance and interfered in the main event by shoving Sabu from the top rope. Sandman delivered a Rolling Rock to Sabu onto a ladder, allowing Funk and Douglas to simultaneously pin him to eliminate him. Francine aided Douglas in attacking Funk until Dory Funk, Jr. came to the ring and attacked Douglas and then chased Francine to the backstage. The action continued between Funk and Douglas as Douglas hit a belly-to-belly suplex to win the title. Reception The event received mixed reviews from critics.
