The undercard featured an interpromotional First Blood match between Fang (Allied Powers Wrestling Federation) and Blade Boudreaux (South's Greatest Wrestling Fans). Ten minutes into the match, Abdullah the Butcher came out and attacked both men.[1][2]
Abdullah cut Fang with a fork and then placed him into a coffin, which he rolled backstage.

Four new champions were also crowned at the event.

Three Way Dance to win the APWF Heavyweight Championship.[2] The event also saw the reunion of The Headbangers, and Shane Douglas, who was scheduled to represent Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW), delivering a controversial "shoot" interview which ended with his quitting ECW one day before its Hardcore Heaven pay-per-view.[1][3]
