* EscalatingBrawl: Based off the real-life brawl that took place during a New Mexico show in 1997, Bobby, who was refusing to end his solo set, was eventually kicked off stage by an extremely pissed off Ronnie Devoe. In response, Bobby, after failing to get a fire hose working to spray Bell Biv Devoe, bumrushed the stage and got into a brawl with the group. The entourages of both groups soon got involved, and guns were pulled out, bringing an end to both the show and the tour.
