Rob Van Dam versus Balls Mahoney was included on the 2005 WWE DVD release Rob Van Dam: One of a Kind.
Rob Van Dam defended the ECW World Television Championship against Balls Mahoney in the main event, where he was originally supposed to defend the title against Johnny Smith but Smith was attacked and replaced by Mahoney before the match. The event also featured Tommy Dreamer and Raven retaining the ECW World Tag Team Championship against Rhino and Steve Corino and two three-way dance matches; the first saw Yoshihiro Tajiri defeat Super Crazy and Little Guido and the second featured Mike Awesome defeating champion Taz and Masato Tanaka to win the ECW World Heavyweight Championship in a match originally scheduled to be a one-on-one contest between Taz and Tanaka for the title.
