After WCW folded, Ed Ferrara debuted in NWA Wildside and criticized the concept of women participating in wrestling. This began a feud with homosexual wrestler Lazz. A Five Minute Survival Match was booked for the Wildside Anniversary Show that year between the two. If Ferrera survived five minutes with Lazz, he got five minutes with the Wildside creative mind, NWA VP Bill Behrens. Lazz accidentally knocked out referee Jimmy Rivers, allowing Behrens to come out and hit Ferrara with a tennis racket. Lazz then hit his finisher, the Britney Spear, and Behrens entered the ring and physically slammed the unconscious hand of Rivers.
