On this day eight-years ago, Booker T became a two-time WCW Heavyweight Champion as he defeated the very man who ended his first title reign, Kevin Nash, in a steel-cage match in the main-event of the WCW Fall Brawl pay-per-view. It would be the last Fall Brawl pay-per-view for WCW before WWE bought the company and Booker's reign would only last a couple weeks as he would lose the title to Vince Russo in a cage match on Monday Nitro after Goldberg inadvertently speared Russo through the cage before Booker walked out the cage door.

Other matches on the card featured:

*Elix Skipper defeating Kwee Wee to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Championship

*Misfits in Action defeated 3-Count

*The Harris Brothers defeated KroniK in a "First Blood Chain Match"

*Lance Storm defeated Hugh Morrus to retain the United States Championship

*The Filthy Animals,Vito and Paul Orndorf went to no contest against the Natural Born Thrillers when the match was stopped after Orndorf suffered a stinger

*Shane Douglas and Torrie Wilson defeated Kidman and Madusa in a scaffold match

*Sting defeated the Great Muta and Vampiro in a Triangle match

*Mike Awesome defeated Jeff Jarrett in a Bunkhouse Brawl

*Scott Steiner defeated Goldberg in a NO DQ match.
