The event took place on May 16, 1999 at the Mid-Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie, New York. Eight professional wrestling matches took place at the event. The originally supposed main event was a singles match, in which Taz was supposed to defend the World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Candido, with Taz beating Candido to retain the title in the opening match. In the changed main event, Taz successfully defended the title against Buh Buh Ray Dudley in a falls count anywhere match. The World Television Championship and the World Tag Team Championship were also successfully defended at the event. Event Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, Skull Von Crush defeated Danny Doring in a non-televised match. Preliminary matches Chris Candido interrupted Joey Styles' introduction and brought out The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray Dudley and D-Von Dudley) as his insurance policy for his World Heavyweight Championship match against Taz in the main event.

Candido missed a diving headbutt, allowing Taz to hit a T-Bone Tazplex and apply a Tazmission to retain the title. After the match, Dudley Boyz hit a 3D to Taz. Dudleys then issued an open challenge to put the titles on the line which was answered by Balls Mahoney. Moments later, Spike Dudley joined Mahoney as his tag team partner. Dudleys were about to hit a 3D on Spike but Mahoney stopped it with chair shots. Joel Gertner got involved by hitting Mahoney with a chair and threw matches at him.
