Spring Stampede

April 19, 1998

Denver Coliseum

Denver, Colorado

Macho Man” Randy Savage faces Sting in a No Disqualification Match for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Hollywood Hogan & Kevin Nash take on “Rowdy” Roddy Piper & The Giant in a Baseball Bat on a Pole Match. Raven takes on Diamond Dallas Page in a Raven’s Rules Match with the WCW United States Championship up for grabs and much more.

News & Notes: We won’t see Ric Flair for a while on this blog. Eric Bischoff suspended him for no-showing a Thunder taping. Then Eric sued him for breach of contract. Flair requested the night off to attend Reid’s wrestling tournament. WCW initially granted his request, but then Bischoff asked Flair to appear on the episode. They hyped Flair’s appearance. He was going to make an announcement about his career. However, Ric was already fed-up with his creative direction. He decided his son was more important. Flair attended the wrestling tournament instead. So Bischoff suspended him. Ric won’t return until the fall. They turn the real-life issues into a storyline upon his arrival.

In other news, the 83-week winning streak ended! RAW defeated Nitro in the ratings for the first time since 1996. The shows trade wins for the rest of the year, but the WWF pulls into the lead by 1999. Things are heating up!
