Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith's match in the main event almost never happened. Smith reported to the show having used cocaine extensively in the previous few days and there was strong consideration given to not having him work. Furthermore, he forgot all the spots in the carefully-planned match, leaving the Hitman to call them all on the fly. Hart has said in later years that carrying his brother-in-law to a classic match on a massive stage in Davey Boy's home country was one of his proudest achievements as a wrestler.

According to Road Warrior Animal, the tag team match of the Legion of Doom vs Money Inc. was originally scheduled midway through the show, but was moved to the first match on the recommendation of Animal, after his partner Hawk had been up all night drinking & drugged out, and was starting to lose consciousness. On the way to the ring, L.O.D. rode motorcycles, and Hawk, in his inebriated state, parked his motorcycle right next to Animal, trapping Animal's leg with the hot tailpipe of the bike, scalding Animal's leg. Animal proceeded to take part in the match with his tights melted onto his leg.
