Announcers: Joey Styles and Cyrrus
The show has a sell out crowd of around 3,000 fans.
There was a reporter from Rolling Stone backstage working on an upcoming wrestling story.
Ring announcer Marc Beduarczy tells the fans that ECW will return to Buffalo on April 8th 1999.
The opening dark match saw Danny Doring and Roadkill take on the team of CW Anderson and Wild Bill Wiles. Doring and Roadkill got a good pop. A chant about Roadkill having his way with sheep broke out briefly early.
Doring did some nice spots early one while Roadkill came in and hit some power spots. After Doring was crotched, he still managed to come back and hit a sick looking Diamond Cutter variation off of the top rope. He then nailed Anderson with a great leg drop from the top, and Roadkill followed that up for the big splash for the pin in four minutes.
