Slamboree

File:Wcwslamboree.png

Slamboree was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event from World Championship Wrestling (WCW) held from 1993 through 2000. It was held in the month of May. It was originally billed as "A Legends' Reunion" because many retired legends from Jim Crockett Promotions attended the PPV and other events scheduled for that weekend. The first three Slamborees saw inductions into the WCW Hall of Fame during the PPV. They also included matches with the legends participating. The rights of Slamboree are now owned by WWE since it bought WCW's related assets in 2001.

Every non-title match was a Lethal Lottery match with wrestlers being randomly paired together, and the winning teams would advance to the Battlebowl battle royal. "Hardwork" Bobby Walker was originally scheduled to compete in the "Lethal Lottery", but was replaced by Diamond Dallas Page due to an injury. At the end of the night Page was crowned "Lord of the Ring" and earned a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at The Great American Bash. The title shot was revoked the next night on WCW Monday Nitro, after footage shown that Page was thrown over the top rope by the Barbarian and one foot touched the floor

Spring Stampede 1998 Slamboree 1998 The Great American Bash 1998

Slamboree 1998 took place on May 17, 1998 from The Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts and featured a double main event.

The winner of the Cruiserweight battle royal received an immediate WCW Cruiserweight Championship opportunity against champion Chris Jericho. "Ciclope" and Juventud Guerrera were the last two competitors in the match; the two wrestlers shook hands and Guerrera climbed out over the top rope to give "Ciclope" the victory. "Ciclope" then unmasked, revealing himself as Dean Malenko. Malenko would later be stripped of the WCW World Cruiserweight Championship two weeks later on Nitro for his actions in the battle royal. Goldberg was originally supposed to wrestle a gauntlet match against each member of The Flock, where if Goldberg lost to any of the Flock members Raven would regain the United States Championship Goldberg had taken from him. That stipulation was changed on the night of the show. Eric Bischoff had made a challenge on the episode of WCW Monday Nitro six days before Slamboree for Vince McMahon to show up and wrestle him. McMahon didn't show up and Bischoff ordered the referee to start the match and count to ten, then was awarded the win by countout.

Originally Bret Hart forced Randy Savage to submit with the Sharpshooter; however, the following night on Nitro, Special Guest Referee Roddy Piper changed his decision and declared Savage as the winner. In the main event Sting and the Giant defeated The Outsiders (Scott Hall and Kevin Nash) to win the WCW World Tag Team Championship when the Giant pinned Nash after Hall hit Nash with one of the Tag Team Championship belts. After the match, Hall, Dusty Rhodes and the Giant celebrated as Hall and Rhodes then joined nWo Hollywood. When the match was signed, both Sting and Giant were representatives of WCW. However, Giant joined nWo Hollywood shortly before Slamboree. As a result of Giant's defection, Sting no longer desired to be his partner. This led to a singles match at The Great American Bash the next month with control of the titles at stake.
