Take a brief second to check out Mysterio’s costume here as well — it might be one of the first times that Rey modeled his attire after a superhero (as the only other one I remember from this timeframe was a Spider-Man homage):
Mysterio vs Guerrero wasn’t the only high-point on this card as Nagata/Dragon was also phenomenal along with the blow-off bout between Randy Savage and Diamond Dallas Page. This match was the final part of the major feud in between the two and DDP still gives Savage full credit for helping to “make him” and give him the credibility he needed to be a main event star in WCW:
“Without Randy Savage, I’d never get to the incredible ride that I had… and it was incredible, man.”
