The main event featured Smith against Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Championship. Smith won the match, which is regarded as the best of his career. However, Smith lost the title shortly after to Shawn Michaels and was released from the WWF for testing positive for steroids.

Smith had several more stints in the WWF and WCW before his death in 2002. He died of a heart attack believed to have been the result of years of previous steroid abuse.
