### Miscellaneous

* Firestar Hart wasn't in Johnny Gat's corner in his match against ARIC due to traffic. Gat was okay with that and Hart knew that Gat deserved to win the tournament. Hart ordered Gat to win the tournament for the Deadly Saints as Gat told Hart that he doesn't need help for the rest of the night. Gat also told Hart to tell Shaundi to say "hi" for him. Hart heard him and they went their seperate ways for the rest of the event.
* A.W.A.C. Alumni Espio told Johnny Gat to win the Battle City Tournament and kick ass because he deserved it more than anyone else in the tournament. Gat appreciated Espio's words as motivation for the semi-final and final matches that he needed to go through later in the night.
* This event marked the last defense of the 5-Star Title. After the A.W.A.C. 5-Star Championship match, the title was retired.
* Hardcore Madness - King, Paul Phoenix, Kuma, Yoshimitsu, Taki, and Kathy McKay.
