The beginning of the show opened with 13 tombstones, each bearing the name of one of the 13 who had defected to the newly formed WBF (World Bodybuilding Federation, which folded two years later).

In 1978, the first Night of Champions changed the bodybuilding world forever. It was the first pro show other than the Mr. Olympia. Before that, there was a belief that the Mr. O was the only show the sport could handle - that one contest a year was plenty. Wayne DeMilia felt that the IFBB needed to expand the audience by putting on shows in different cities to expose new people to bodybuilding. Another major milestone at the 1978 Night of Champions was that the competitors choreographed a posing routine to music that they selected. Prior to the 1978 NOC, the music was the same for everyone.

In 1982, Mohamed El Makkawy arrived onstage ontop of a real camel, while Danny Padilla came out dressed as a bodybuilding version of Superman, who burst out of a phone booth made out of Stryofoam.
