# Slamboree (1994)

The 1994 Slamboree: A Legends Reunion was the second Slamboree professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on May 22, 1994, at the Philadelphia Civic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 2014, the event was made available for streaming on the WWE Network.
Prior to Slamboree, WCW approached Eastern Championship Wrestling about cross-promoting with ECW's When Worlds Collide event, which was scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on May 14, 1994. The two promotions agreed to a talent exchange in which WCW wrestlers Arn Anderson and Bobby Eaton would appear at When Worlds Collide, while ECW wrestler Terry Funk would appear at Slamboree.

## Storylines

The event featured professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Professional wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Cactus Jack replaced an injured Dave Sullivan in the WCW World Tag Team Championship match. Big Van Vader was originally scheduled to wrestle Rick Rude, but Rude had to be replaced by Sting as Rude had suffered a career-ending back injury in Japan, in a match against Sting.
This was also the final WCW pay per view where the traditional entrance ramp way connected to the ring was used.
This was Barry Windham's last WCW appearance until 1998, after this event, he originally was supposed to return to the WWF and join Ted DiBiase's Million Dollar Corporation alongside his brother in-law Mike Rotunda (as Irwin R. Schyster) as "The New Money Inc." but Windham suffered a knee injury during his match with Ric Flair at this event which prevented him from going back to the WWF.
