-One of the hardest battles Paul Heyman fought during the planning of the ECW PPV was convincing Vince McMahon to let Tazz come out after Steve Austin. He also insisted that WWE secure the rights to Metallica's version of "Enter Sandman" rather than a knockoff version, and that the show be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom. It was also a difficult battle to get Rhino booked on the show after he was fired following the incident at the hotel lobby before WrestleMania.
-Vince McMahon worked the gorilla position throughout the show, while Heyman sat next to him and produced the announcers. "Of course Paul was there; Vince had to eat crow" one wrestler cracked. Leading up to the PPV, Styles had conversations with both Jim Ross and Kevin Dunn, including some coaching on how to adjust his signature style to fit with what WWE was also looking for.
