Legacy
This event is significant for featuring one of Andre The Giant's last appearances and the last on videotape or DVD. He arrives at the end saving hometown hero and the battle royal winner British Bulldog from an attack from Natural Disasters - Earthquake and Typhoon. Andre's appearance was symbolic of real life, as the man who was having his last days and struggling was pretty immobile and on crutches (in kayfabe due to being injured).
