[edit] Disc 1 Matches And Extras

[edit] Cactus Jack vs Vader for the WCW World Title

  • Took place on a taping of WCW Saturday Night.
  • Cactus Jack wins via countout.
  • Since WCW had a strict policy on blood not being shown on television at the time, the appearance of blood was edited out of the original broadcast. Blood was shown on the DVD thanks to an unedited copy of the match that Foley owned.
  • This match is missing the commentary by Jesse "The Body" Ventura, due to an early 1990s lawsuit involving videotape royalties filed by Ventura against WWE.
