The 1994 '''Spring Stampede''' was the inaugural [[WCW Spring Stampede|Spring Stampede]] [[pay-per-view]] (PPV) [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] produced by [[World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW).

The match ended in a [[Dusty finish|double-pin]], resulting in Flair retaining the title. However, the [[Professional wrestling authority figures#Commissioner|Commissioner]] [[Nick Bockwinkel]] stripped Flair off the title and [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Book|booked]] a rematch for the title between Flair and Steamboat on the May 14 episode of ''[[WCW Saturday Night|Saturday Night]]'', which Flair won.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other matches on the [[Card (sports)|card]] featured [[Kevin Borden&amp;lt;!--(2007, pg 29)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Sting]] defeating [[Randy Rucker&amp;lt;!--Rood (1972, pg. 121)--&amp;gt;|Rick Rude]] to win the [[WCW International World Heavyweight Championship|International World Heavyweight Championship]] and [[Larry&amp;lt;!--Yent (1969, pg. 125)--&amp;gt; White|Vader]] defeated [[Brandon Traylor (&amp;lt;!--McDonald's--&amp;gt;wrestler)|The Boss]] while [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson&amp;lt;!--McAlmond--&amp;gt;|Steve Austin]] and [[Ronnie Matthews&amp;lt;!--(1965, pg. 40)--&amp;gt;|Lord Steven Regal]] retained the [[IWE United States Championship|United States Heavyweight Championship]] and the [[WCW World Television Championship|World Television Championship]] respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Storylines==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] at Spring Stampede involved professional wrestlers performing as [[Character (arts)|characters]] in [[Kayfabe|scripted events]] pre-determined by the hosting [[Professional wrestling promotion|promotion]], WCW. [[Narrative thread|Storylines]] between the characters played out on WCW's television programs, ''[[WCW Saturday Night|Saturday Night]]'', ''[[WCW Worldwide|WorldWide]]'', ''[[WCW Pro|Pro]]'' and ''[[WCW Main Event|Main Event]]''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At [[WCW SuperBrawl 4|SuperBrawl IV]], [[Ric Meyer&amp;lt;!--Father of Allyson Meyer (2006, pg. 35)--&amp;gt;|Ric Flair]] defeated [[Larry&amp;lt;!--Yent (1969, pg. 125)--&amp;gt; White|Big Van Vader]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Thundercage|Thundercage match]] to retain the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship]]. During SuperBrawl IV, [[Ricky Steamboat]] was named the #1 contender to the World Heavyweight Championship at Spring Stampede. On the March 5 episode of ''Saturday Night'', [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson&amp;lt;!--McAlmond--&amp;gt;|Steve Austin]]'s [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] [[Gary Duff&amp;lt;!--(2001, pg. 67)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Col. Robert Parker]] confronted Steamboat and claimed that Austin deserved the title shot instead of Steamboat, leading to a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types|tag team match]], in which Austin and [[Ronnie Matthews&amp;lt;!--(1965, pg. 40)--&amp;gt;|Lord Steven Regal]] defeated Steamboat and [[Arn Scott Andrews&amp;lt;!--(2007, pg. 82)--&amp;gt;|Arn Anderson]] when Austin pinned Steamboat. On the following week's ''Saturday Night'', Steamboat defeated Austin by [[Professional wrestling#Disqualification|disqualification]] to become the #1 contender for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship at Spring Stampede. Following the match, Steamboat accidentally assaulted the champion Ric Flair after Flair came to rescue Steamboat from Austin and Col. Robert Parker. Flair and Steamboat confronted each other in the following weeks after Flair claimed that he could beat [[Hulk Hogan&amp;lt;!--Terry Barnes (1963, pg 12)--&amp;gt;|Hulk Hogan]] and offered Hogan an invitation to watch him beat Steamboat at Spring Stampede and Steamboat recalled having beaten Flair for the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]] at [[WCW Chi-Town Rumble|Chi-Town Rumble]] in 1989.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At SuperBrawl IV, [[Brandon Traylor (&amp;lt;!--McDonald's--&amp;gt;wrestler)|The Boss]] acted as the special guest referee during a Thundercage match between Ric Flair and Vader for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, during which Vader attacked Boss and handcuffed him to the cage. Boss broke free of the handcuffs during the climax of the match and then attacked Vader and his [[Manager (professional wrestling)|manager]] [[Harley&amp;lt;!--Max--&amp;gt; Race&amp;lt;!--McAlmond--&amp;gt;|Harley Race]] and awarded the win to Flair while Flair had applied a [[Professional wrestling holds#Figure-four leglock|figure four leglock]] on Vader and Vader did not even submit to the hold. Vader confronted Boss on the decision and both men began a feud against each other, leading to a match between the two at Spring Stampede.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Randy Rucker&amp;lt;!--Rood (1972, pg. 121)--&amp;gt;|Rick Rude]] and [[Kevin Borden&amp;lt;!--(2007, pg 29)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Sting]] had been involved in a rivalry against each other since the beginning of 1994.

After the match, Rude slammed the door of the steel cage on Sting's face and executed a ''[[Neckbreaker#Shoulder neckbreaker|Rude Awakening]]'' to Sting on the floor. This intensified their rivalry. Rude commented on Sting that he was not a deserving contender for his [[WCW International World Heavyweight Championship|International World Heavyweight Championship]] and Sting decided to wrestle him for the title at Spring Stampede. Rude briefly lost the title to [[Hiroshi Hase]] during a tour of [[New Japan Pro-Wrestling]] on March 16 but regained the title at the end of the tour on March 24. It was officially announced on the March 26 episode of ''Pro'' that Rude would defend the International World Heavyweight Championship against Sting at Spring Stampede.&lt;br /&gt;

===Pre-show===&lt;br /&gt;
Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, actors [[Danny Bonaduce]] and [[Christopher Knight (actor)|Christopher Knight]] competed in a [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Dark match|non-televised match]], which Bonaduce won. The next dark match that followed saw [[Dwain &amp;lt;!--Tuttle--&amp;gt; Tanaka&amp;lt;!--(1968, pg. 73)--&amp;gt;|Pat Tanaka]] and [[Thomas Gary Brescher&amp;lt;!--(1965, pg. 49)--&amp;gt;|Haito]] defeat The Sullivans ([[Nick Sullivan&amp;lt;!--Nicolas Elmer Schmidt (1965, pg. 135)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Kevin Sullivan]] and [[Ryan Sullivan &amp;lt;!--(CRA 2001, 2002, 2003, pg. 35)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Dave Sullivan]]) in a [[Professional wrestling tag team match types|tag team match]], which Dave injured his knee during the match.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Preliminary matches===&lt;br /&gt;
The first match of the event was between [[Clarence J. Mollo&amp;lt;!--(1964, pg. 23)--&amp;gt;|Johnny B. Badd]] and [[&amp;lt;!--Kenny (Dollar Tree)--&amp;gt;Dallas Cage|Diamond Dallas Page]]. DDP gained momentum with a [[Suplex#Belly-to-back suplex|back suplex]], a [[Professional wrestling throws#Gutbuster|gutbuster]] and a [[Suplex#Snap suplex|snap suplex]]. He then applied a [[Professional wrestling holds#Chinlock|chinlock]] on Badd but Badd got out of the move with a back suplex. Badd knocked DDP out of the ring with a ''[[Hook (boxing)|Tutti Frutti]]''. He then performed a [[Pin (professional wrestling)#Sunset flip|sunset flip]] to win the match.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the following match, [[Ronnie Matthews&amp;lt;!--(1965, pg. 40)--&amp;gt;|Lord Steven Regal]] defended the [[WCW World Television Championship|World Television Championship]] against [[Brian &amp;lt;!--Keith (1999, pg. 27)--&amp;gt; Pigman|Brian Pillman]]. Pillman worked on Regal's arm in the earlier part of the match until Regal used [[Bill Dundee&amp;lt;!--Father of Jack Crocifisso(2001, pg. 9)--&amp;gt;|Sir William]] to distract Pillman and gain the advantage over him. Regal used many submission moves on Pillman until Pillman countered a [[powerbomb]] attempt into a [[Professional wrestling throws#Hurricanrana|hurricanrana]]. Regal then followed it with a ''[[Professional wrestling throws#Fireman's carry slam|Regal Slam]]''. Regal continued his momentum until Pillman [[dropkick]]ed him while Regal dived onto him from the top turnbuckle. Regal sent Pillman out of the ring with a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Crossbody|crossbody]] and then Sir William interfered whom Pillman attacked when fifteen seconds were remaining and then he [[suplex]]ed Regal into the ring but the fifteen minute time limit expired and Regal retained the title.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[The Nasty Boys]] ([[Brian &amp;lt;!--Derek (2007, pg. 38)--&amp;gt; Reintjes|Brian Knobbs]] and [[Jerome &amp;lt;!--Jon (2007, pg. 38)--&amp;gt; Rispens|Jerry Sags]]) took on [[Jon Foley&amp;lt;!--(2006, pg. 26)--&amp;gt;|Cactus Jack]] and [[Daryl Dennis Peterson&amp;lt;!--(2001, pg. 69)--&amp;gt;|Maxx Payne]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Hardcore-based variations|Chicago Street Fight]]. Both teams used several weapons and the match turned out to be brutal due to the severity of the action. Near the end of the match, Saggs delivered a [[Piledriver (professional wrestling)|Piledriver]] to Jack driving him through a table and then hit him with a [[shovel]] in the back of the head to win the match. After the match, Payne was knocked out with a piece of the broken table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Next, [[Stone Cold Steve Johnson&amp;lt;!--McAlmond--&amp;gt;|Steve Austin]] defended the [[IWE United States Championship|United States Heavyweight Championship]] against [[Keji &amp;lt;!--Michael (1972, pg. 117)--&amp;gt; Mundt-Mutoh|The Great Muta]]. Austin started the match with a few punches until Muta applied a [[Professional wrestling holds#Head, face, chin, and shoulder stretches|headlock]] on Austin. Muta continued to use submission holds on Austin and then [[Gary Duff&amp;lt;!--(2001, pg. 67)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Col. Robert Parker]] tripped Muta, allowing Austin to attack Muta and gain momentum. Austin delivered a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Diving knee drop|diving knee drop]] and applied an [[Professional wrestling holds#Abdominal stretch|abdominal stretch]] on Muta, who [[Professional wrestling throws#Hip toss|hip toss]]ed Austin and [[Professional wrestling throws#Irish whip|whip]]ped him through the ropes to dropkick him but Austin held on to the ropes.

Austin charged at Muta but Muta delivered a back body drop to Austin, tossing him over the top rope and getting disqualified. As a result, Austin retained the title.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later, [[Randy Rucker&amp;lt;!--Rood (1972, pg. 121)--&amp;gt;|Rick Rude]] defended the [[WCW International World Heavyweight Championship|International World Heavyweight Championship]] against [[Kevin Borden&amp;lt;!--(2007, pg 29)--&amp;gt; (wrestler)|Sting]]. Before the match began, [[Harley&amp;lt;!--Max--&amp;gt; Race&amp;lt;!--McAlmond--&amp;gt;|Harley Race]] challenged the winner of the match for a future title match on behalf of his client [[Larry&amp;lt;!--Yent (1969, pg. 125)--&amp;gt; White|Vader]] and then tried to attack Sting but Sting beat him up. Rude attacked Sting from behind but Sting suplexed him out on the floor. Sting tossed Rude into the ring to gain momentum until Rude crotched him on the ropes and tossed him out of the ring and roughed up his back. He delivered a belly to back suplex to Sting and then applied a chinlock. Sting escaped the move and attempted a [[Pin (professional wrestling)#Roll-up|roll-up]] but Rude applied a [[Professional wrestling holds#Sleeper hold|sleeper hold]]. Sting executed a few [[Professional wrestling throws#Atomic drop|atomic drops]] and a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Clothesline|clothesline]] and then attempted a ''[[Professional wrestling attacks#Stinger Splash|Stinger Splash]]'' on Rude but the referee accidentally got in the way and got knocked out. Sting applied a ''[[Sharpshooter (professional wrestling)|Scorpion Deathlock]]'' on Rude and then Race came back and brought Vader along with him. Sting fought them off and Rude clipped Sting's leg with a [[Professional wrestling attacks#Chop block|chop block]]. Rude attempted a ''[[Neckbreaker#Shoulder neckbreaker|Rude Awakening]]'' on Sting but Race accidentally hit him with a [[Folding chair|steel chair]] in the back, allowing Sting to pin him to win the title.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was followed by a [[Professional wrestling match types#Taped fist match|Bunkhouse match]] between [[Goldust|Dustin Rhodes]] and [[Bunkhouse Buck]]. Rhodes initially brawled with Buck until Buck broke a [[lumber]] on the back of his head to make him bleed. Buck capitalized on the bleeding head until Rhodes threw a powder in his eyes and tried to gain momentum but Buck whipped him with his belt. Both men exchanged momentum until Col. Robert Parker climbed the apron to distract Rhodes. Rhodes suplexed Parker into the ring, which distracted him enough for Buck to roll him up for a near-fall. Parker then handed Buck a pair of [[brass knuckles]] and Buck hit Rhodes with the brass knuckles for the victory.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;411mania-1&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;411mania-2&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;411mania-3&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the penultimate match of the event, [[Big Boss Man (wrestler)|The Boss]] took on [[Big Van Vader|Vader]]. Vader attacked Boss on the ramp during his entrance before the match started. Vader then tossed Boss into the ring and attempted to dive onto him from the top rope but Boss avoided it and Vader hit the railing. Both men traded moves until Boss delivered a [[DDT (professional wrestling)|DDT]] to Vader from the second rope. He then executed a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Diving crossbody|diving crossbody]] on Vader to get a near-fall and then attempted another diving crossbody but Vader countered by powerslamming him and then dragged him near the corner and delivered a ''[[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Corner slingshot splash|Vader Bomb]]'' for a near-fall. He then followed with a ''[[Moonsault#Rolling moonsault|Vadersault]]'' to win the match. After the match, Harley Race tried to handcuff Boss but Boss attacked Vader, Race and the [[Referee (professional wrestling)|referee]] with his nightstick, which led the [[Professional wrestling authority figures#Commissioner|Commissioner]] [[Nick Bockwinkel]] to take away his name &amp;quot;Boss&amp;quot; because this was not the way he was supposed to act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was followed by a [[Professional wrestling match types#Taped fist match|Bunkhouse match]] between [[Dustin&amp;lt;!--Simpson--&amp;gt; Semmler|Dustin Rhodes]] and [[Stevy Gross&amp;lt;!--(2000, pg. 114)--&amp;gt;|Bunkhouse Buck]].

Buck capitalized on the bleeding head until Rhodes threw a powder in his eyes and tried to gain momentum but Buck whipped him with his belt. Both men exchanged momentum until Col. Robert Parker climbed the apron to distract Rhodes. Rhodes suplexed Parker into the ring, which distracted him enough for Buck to roll him up for a near-fall. Parker then handed Buck a pair of [[brass knuckles]] and Buck hit Rhodes with the brass knuckles for the victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the penultimate match of the event, [[Brandon Traylor (&amp;lt;!--McDonald's--&amp;gt;wrestler)|The Boss]] took on [[Larry&amp;lt;!--Yent (1969, pg. 125)--&amp;gt; White|Vader]].

&lt;br /&gt;
===Main event match===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Ric Meyer&amp;lt;!--Father of Allyson Meyer (2006, pg. 35)--&amp;gt;|Ric Flair]] defended the [[WCW World Heavyweight Championship|World Heavyweight Championship]] against [[Ricky Steamboat]] in the main event of the show. Steamboat performed many moves on Flair to get control of the match until he missed a dropkick and Flair began attacking him with his [[Professional wrestling attacks#Chop|chop]]s.

Steamboat charged at him but Flair moved out of the way and Steamboat crashed into the railing. The duo then returned to the ring and Steamboat hit a [[Suplex#Superplex|superplex]].

Steamboat reached to the ropes and Flair attempted another figure four leglock but Steamboat rolled him up. Steamboat followed with a [[Pin (professional wrestling)#Backslide|backslide]] for a near-fall and then delivered a Superplex, which put both men down on the mat. Steamboat then applied a [[Professional wrestling holds#Double chickenwing|double chickenwing]] on Flair and both men's shoulders were pinned to the mat. As a result of the double pinfall, Flair retained the title.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Reception==&lt;br /&gt;
Spring Stampede received favourable and positive reviews from the critics. The event was a success. Arnold Furious of 411mania rated the event 8.5, appreciating the booking of the event and the performances of the matches. He stated, &amp;quot;The booking in early 1994 was really good for WCW. Flair bringing Steamboat back to the main event scene gave them an instant classic PPV main event without any effort at all. They even left it open for a second match. The undercard was also doing something for a change. The crazy tag title match, the wild brawl from Rhodes-Buck and the super heavies busting their asses made the undercard REALLY solid. Everything else at least had a little energy to it with even Muta showing up eventually. It’s an easy thumbs up and a recommendation to check out.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ric Flair's booking was considered to be better than former booker [[Dusty Semmler (wrestler)|Dusty Rhodes]]' booking style as 411Mania Staff wrote &amp;quot;Flair turned the product around—giving the fans good quality wrestling, which was a huge alternative compared to Dusty’s impractical “shades-of-grey” booking throughout 1993. Some fans think of early '94 as them just doing &amp;quot;stuff&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2013, IWE released a list of their &amp;quot;15 best pay-per-views ever&amp;quot;, with 1994's Spring Stampede ranked at number four.&lt;br /&gt;
