Slamboree 1993 was the first Slamboree event produced by World Championship Wrestling which took place on 16th May 1993

## Background

The main match heading into the show is Sting defending his WCW Heaviweight Championship against Barry Windham. Sting finally got to the top of WCW after 4 grueling years at Starrcade 1992 but not without a few hiccups on his way, Sting and Windham were the final 2 in the battlebowl battle royal to determine who would face Vader in the main event for the WCW Heaviweight Championship, Sting ended up winning but after the match Windham attacked Sting turning heel, even with this injury Sting overcame the odds and became champion in the main event. Windham stepped up as Sting's first challenge, he tried to reform the Four Horsemen with Arn Anderson and Larry Zbyszko but Arn refused attacking him. At Superbrawl III Sting defended against Windham, Windham was gonna attack Sting with a chair but The Enforcers came out to stop him when suddenly Zbyszko DDT'd Arn ending their team. This started a feud to see who was the best Four Horsemen member(other than Ric Flair), at Saturday Night 200 Sting and Arn defeated Zbyszko and Windham with Sting getting the pinfall so he could choose his opponent, he decided to choose all 3 of them in a fatal 4 way

After Vader lost the WCW Heaviweight Championship to Sting at Starrcade 1992, Dusty Rhodes said Vader did not have a rematch clause because he lost to an INJURED Sting. Vader was pissed and challenged Dusty and Dusty gave him the match IF he could defeat 3 of his men, the men he picked were Road Warriors and Rick Rude who beat Vader in a handicap match. Over the following weeks, this trio and Dusty Rhodes continued to beat up Vader at any chance they got. Dusty made an impossible challenge for Vader at Saturday Night 199, if he could beat 5 men in a gauntlet match he would get his match against Dusty. Vader proceeded to defeat Rick Rude, Larry Zbyszko, Dustin Rhodes and Road Warriors until Dusty introduced his last challenge: Meng with Dusty as the special guest ref. Dusty was pissed that Vader kept kicking out of Meng's moves so he slapped Meng, Meng responded with a lariat to Dusty as he forfeited the match, tonight Vader finally gets Dusty in a match

Harlem Heat debuted earlier in the year and immediatly became contenders to the tag titles as they have led multiple attacks towards Hollywood Blondes

At Saturday Night 200, DDP, Ron Simmons and Dustin Rhodes defeated Road Warriors and Rick Rude, the stipulation of the match was that the winners would then face each other in a triple threat to become NO1 contender to the WCW Heaviweight Championship, Meng squashed Dustin leading up to this and was inserted to the match

Davey Boy Smith announced that he will be holding an open challenge for the TV Championship tonight, Kensuke Sasaki had already stepped up to the challenge but last night it was revealed that he was attacked and injured by someone backstage so now anyone can answer tonight
