Jeff Jarrett defeated Rhino to retain the NWA World Heavyweight Championship (17:29)

Jeff Hardy was scheduled to appear in the pre-show match, but no-showed because he "overslept" and was unable to take the flight. Lex Lovett was also scheduled to be involved, but was cut out when Hardy no-showed.
Both Sabu and Abyss, as expected, were severely cut up in their Barbed Wire Massacre. Abyss's left arm was sliced open, and he had to be cut out of the barbed wire board he was pinned under. Both required dozens of stitches.
James Storm suffered a stinger in the Tables Match when he took the Death Sentence into a table, and had to be helped from the ring.
