Did you know

• The show was supposed to have started with the Throwbacks (Dasher Hatfield and Sugar Dunkerton (Sugar Dunkerton)) vs. Los Ice Creams (Ice Cream Jr. and El Hijo del Ice Cream), but Sugar was not there for some unannounced reason. Names were drawn from a hat for a replacement partner for Dasher. Kwang (Savio Vega (Juan Rivera)'s masked ninja gimmick from 1994-1995 WWE) was drawn and he was not there. References to Kwang and/or Max Moon (Paul Diamond) were a running gag in CHIKARA. Then they drew Kelly Kelly (Barbie Blank), who was not there. Then they drew Saturyne's (Tamara McNeill) name, who was there, though someone in the crowd asked, "Perry Saturn?" This was Saturyne's surprise CHIKARA debut and only her second match ever.

• When Saturyne tags in to the match, the announcers say, "Is Taz here, because the mood just changed?" One of Taz (Peter Senerchia)'s catchphrases during his active wrestling career was, "The mood is about to change!"

• The crowd booed when Kelly Kelly's name was drawn.
