Beach Blast 1993 was the second Slamboree event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 4th July 1993

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Sting defending his WCW Heaviweight Championship against Vader. Vader and Sting have a long story against each other, starting with their battles for the US Championship where Vader beat Sting constantly to win the title, to Wrestlewar 1992 where Sting finally had a chance at the WCW Heaviweight title because Ric Flair was out of WCW but Vader destroyed him to become champion himself, Sting had to crawl his way back to the title at Starrcade 1992 as he won a tag team match, won the battlebowl battle royal and managed to defeat Vader while injured to become champion. After Starrcade, Vader changed a lot as he kept getting screwed over by owner of WCW Dusty Rhodes while he just wanted his rematch, at Slamboree Vader won a fatal 4 way to become NO1 contender again, tonight both men will fight again but with a lot of respect towards each other

Ricky Steamboat won the cruiserweight title at Great American Bash 1992, this caused some controversy as Steamboat was a former heaviweight who turned into a cruiserweight by training. At Halloween Havoc, he was challenged by also former heaviweight turned cruiserweight The Great Muta whom he defeated. After the match, a bunch of cruiserweights attacked them both, they claimed they were tired of former heaviweights stealing their division and stealing their spotlight. Steamboat and Muta decided to challenge every CW that wants to face them in a handicap elimination match, the cruiserweights that beat them were Tom Zenk, Shane Douglas and Johnny B.Badd after every other man was eliminated. This trio kept saying they had a leader that was giving them orders on their ambushes, at Slamboree Muta and Steamboat were having a ladder match when Jushin Liger made his return attacking Muta and declaring himself as the leader of the "Loyal Cruiserweights", they kept landing ambushes on Muta and Steamboat until 2 Cold Scorpio and Stan Lane got on the side of the "Good Cruiserweights". A wargames match was scheduled with the winning pinfall becoming the Cruiserweight champion

The Cash in the Ladder Tag Team match will take place with the winners getting a briefcase where they can cash-in on the tag champions at any time they want

At Superbrawl III, long time tag team partners The Enforcers broke up as Larry Zbyszko attacked Arn Anderson, they had a short feud alongside Barry Windham and Sting to see who the best Four Horsemen member was, Sting defended the title in a fatal 4 way at Slamboree but Zbyszko and Arn continued to feud wanting to see who was the best amongst them

DDP formed a group of guys who were floundering in the midcard scene and wanted to do so much more, he got Dr.Death, Ron Simmons and Cactus Jack to join him, after this Dr.Death quickly became the United States champion. DDP declared that while he liked Diamond Alignment, he wanted to be champion as well, Ron Simmons also had the same intentions so they had a NO1 contenders match which DDP got the win, tonight the leader of Diamond Alignment faces his partner
