25 Best Wrestling PPVs Ever
17. WCW Spring Stampede 1994
Best Match: The Nasty Boys Vs. Cactus Jack & Maxx Payne
Worst Match: Sting Vs. Rick Rude
That Sting and Rick Rude at or near enough their peak had the worst match on the card isn't necessarily an indictment of their performances - even though they were capable of much better - but more an affirmation that several uncelebrated stars had their best ever matches, curiously, on this single night.
The Nasty Boys were a basic tandem, effective heels though they were, but their Falls Count Anywhere match with Cactus Jack and Maxx Payne was a full-on riot, so fractious in execution that Jerry Sags doesn't even bother to fold a steel chair before practically stabbing it in Payne's back. The match ends, after the two teams destroy a merchandise stand in a proto-Attitude Era spot, when Sags cracks Foley full-force in the face with a shovel.
Bunkhouse Bunk's Bunkhouse Brawl win over Dustin Rhodes was similarly unruly. Elsewhere, the action was diverse enough to incorporate a fusion of British chain wrestling and high-flying in Lord Steven Regal Vs. Brian Pillman, and a retread of the seminal Rick Steamboat Vs. Ric Flair series which, while not the ***** classic they wrestled ad nauseam in the late eighties, was still a fantastic effort .
