WCW Slamboree (May 1998)
from 1 Year in Wrestling Hosted by Matt & Chris
You really get the sense that the wind is coming out of the WCW sails at this point. The 83 weeks of WCW ratings dominance has come to an end...DX invaded a WCW broadcast on April 27th...Aside from the Rise of Goldberg - there isn't a lot positive to say about WCW these days. There are some very strange booking decisions in this PPV: The ending of Macho v Bret Hart is way too over-complicated. Eric Bischoff presenting as a good guy vs an absent Vince McMahon. Babyface Sting teaming with a heel Giant vs nWo Wolfpack Nash & Hall where the hot tags and flow of the match point to Hall/Nash being the bad guys...all this makes for a flat viewing experience. There were some positives: Guerrero v Ultimo Dragon (with a conflicted Chavo in Eddy's corner) Jericho awaits the winner of a Cruiserweight Battle Royal - who happens to be a returning Dean Malenko, wearing Lucha gear. The table being set for the Benoit v Booker T best of 7.
