Details.
Wiki.
Greed was the final professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on March 18, 2001 from the Jacksonville Memorial Coliseum in Jacksonville, Florida. Greed replaced the promotion's March PPV event Uncensored which was held from 1995 to 2000. The pay-per-view event took place three days before the final episode of Thunder and eight days before the final episode of Monday Nitro.
Ten matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Scott Steiner retained his WCW World Heavyweight Championship in a falls count anywhere match against Diamond Dallas Page. On the undercard, Elix Skipper and Kid Romeo defeated The Filthy Animals (Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio Jr.) to become the inaugural holders of the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team Championship, Shane Helms defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. to win the Cruiserweight Championship, The Natural Born Thrillers (Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire) retained the World Tag Team Championship against Totally Buffed (Buff Bagwell and Lex Luger), and Booker T defeated Rick Steiner to win the United States Heavyweight Championship.
In 2014, all WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
As the final WCW PPV, WCW Greed was also the last WCW PPV of the Monday Night Wars era of September 4, 1995 to March 26, 2001, during which WWF Monday Night Raw (later WWF Raw Is War) and WCW Monday Nitro competed for ratings in a weekly Monday night time slot, which is now widely seen in retrospect as having been a "golden age" of pro wrestling, along with the 1980s boom.
