Jon’s ‘WCW Spring Stampede 1994’ Flashback Recap + Review – Flair Vs. Steamboat, Jack/Payne Vs. The Nasty Boys, Muta Vs. Austin
Date: April 17, 1994
Venue: The Rosemont Horizon (Rosemont, IL)
Commentators: Tony Schiavone & Bobby “The Brain” Heenan
20 years ago today WCW presented its inaugural addition of Spring Stampede featuring Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat challenging his old nemesis/rival Ric Flair for the WCW World Heavyweight Title. This event also happened to be the first and only WCW PPV I ever attended, thanks to an awesome father who realized my obsession with The Great Muta and capitalized on it to earn himself brownie points (and oh did he ever). Even though my Mom taped it on PPV just in case my Muta sign was showcased (it wasn’t) I have never revisited it in full. Now’s the time to meet my nostalgia head-on and find out if it still holds up all these years later. Join me, won’t you?
