Just your typical T&A match.

Team WCW/ECW (Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, Rhyno and The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von)) (w/Shane McMahon, Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, and Paul Heyman) defeated Team WWF (Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker, and Kane) (w/Vince McMahon) (29:03)
Booker pinned Angle after Austin turned on Team WWF and hit Angle with a Stone Cold Stunner.
***3/4
Really good little brawl here.

~ No is my answer to the last question I asked in the KOTR review. 2 really good matches and not much else.

~Kurt Angle beats Booker T to win the WCW Title. ***1/4
