An Event So Wild, No Ordinary Ring Could Hold It!
Spring Stampede (1994) was the first Spring Stampede pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The event took place on April 17, 1994 from the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, Illinois.
The main event was a standard wrestling match between Ric Flair and Ricky Steamboat for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. The match ended in a double-pin, resulting in Flair retaining the title. However, the Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel stripped Flair off the title and booked a rematch for the title between Flair and Steamboat on the May 14 episode of Saturday Night, which Flair won.
Other matches on the card were Sting defeating Rick Rude to win the International World Heavyweight Championship and Vader defeated The Boss.
The professional wrestling matches at Spring Stampede involved professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, WCW. Storylines between the characters played out on WCW's television programs, Saturday Night, WorldWide, Pro and Main Event.
