Guest tank_abbott Report post Posted January 31, 2003 Okay I've never seen the show, but i have a few ??? It says in SK's review that Micheal Buffer actually intro'd Vince McMahon for his "match" vs Eric B. Knowing Buffer's usual method of adding comments about each participant (i.e. "The man who's reconized the world over as the greatest wrestler of this or any generation HUUULLLKKK HOOOGAAAN!) What did he say about Vince? Also I read elsewear that Buffer messed up Bret's name when annoncing him, and Bret chewed him out on camera. Can you add anything to this?

Guest treble charged Report post Posted January 31, 2003 He one time on Nitro called Bret, "Bret 'The Hitman' Clarke". That is still relevant in some aspects of my life (however sad that may be). As for the Slamboree '98 stuff, I do remember Buffer announcing Vince, but I can't really remember any over the top stuff. I've only seen the show once, though (well, that part of it, at least), so someone else could probably answer better than I could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest converge241 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I was there live Worcester Centrum people really thought Vince was coming out Buffer was there and did the introductions and they counted to 10 and Bisch won by forefeit or auto decision what a waste of time (the many segments with "is vince here or not") awful main event too the cruiserweight invitational and ddp cage match saved the event Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JangoFett4Hire Report post Posted January 31, 2003 YA! Stinko Malenko dressed up like that pumpkin looking luchadore. Ciclope? maybe. And he kicked the poop out of Jericho. That was a great feud, with Jericho taking shots at Dean's dead dad. Glorious stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can remember where on the site, but I'm sure it's there. Just in case anyone's interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Agent_Bond34 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 awful main event too That main event surely wasn't anything to write home about. Hey after the main event was over, what did Sting end up doing? When the video ended, it just showed him standing there doing nothing. Did anything else after that happen? Also about the Vince introduction, if I'm not mistaken, it had something to do with Titan Sports and him being from Stamford, Connecticut and that's the only part I can remember from the tape when I rented it in 2001.

cawthon777 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I actually thought the show was pretty solid - although the Bischoff / Vince segments were horrible (so was Bischoff issuing the challenge on Nitro in weeks prior to the PPV...even I could see he was desperate for viewers). I'd consider Slamboree 98 to be one of WCW's last better than good pay-per-views of the 90s. The Cruiserweight battle royal / Jericho vs. Malenko ... DDP / Raven in the cage ... Bret / Savage was passable ... Goldberg was still in his pre-world title "cool tough guy" phase ... Eddie / Dragon was good. The good far outweighed the bad - but of course I hardly even think about the tag title main event. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted January 31, 2003 I thought it was a pretty good show as well. Scott Hall was entertaining as hell in the main event and all the good stuff you guys mentioned was good. Plus- remember Liz bouncing out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2003 I remember Slamboree '98. I rented it a few months ago from a local video store. The Cruiserweight Battle Royal was pretty good, Dean Malenko dressing up as Ciclope was cool, but I think instead of Juventud Guerrera eliminating himself they should've just fought and have Malenko win the match fairly. This began the "Chris Jericho Conspiracy" which was very entertaining. Diamond Dallas Page-Raven was very good to, has anyone seen the 3-Way Dance between Diamond Dallas Page, Chris Benoit, and Raven? Was it any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benoit / Raven fought one-on-one for about the last half while DDP played the dead super face laid out in the aisle ... before he did his big comeback, of course. It's on Kazaa if you want it.

JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2003 Thanks cawthon777, that's exactly what I was planning on doing. I'm downloading Chris Benoit-Raven from Souled Out '98 right now, do you know if that is any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted February 3, 2003 I thought so. It had been building for about 2 months and I think it was one of the best bouts of the night - along with Bret / Flair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
