Professional wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.[4]

Scott Steiner was disqualified when he used the Steiner Recliner which had been banned. WCW Commissioner Ernest Miller stripped Steiner of the WCW United States Championship following the match. Vampiro won the Graveyard match when the Demon didn't show up to the ring; most of this match was pre-taped before the show at an outdoor location. Hollywood Hogan pinned Jeff Jarrett after Vince Russo had Jarrett lie down for Hogan. After the match, Russo fired Hogan and declared that Jarrett was still champion and an actual championship match would be held against Booker T (who won the title from Jarrett), but Hollywood Hogan took the belt with him. Although the firing was meant to be in kayfabe, the event would be Hulk Hogan's final appearance in World Championship Wrestling; Hogan subsequently filed a lawsuit against Russo for the alleged shoot comments made in a promo nullifying his match, which was dismissed in 2003.[5]
