Slamboree 1997 - The Results

Steven Regal - no longer wanting to be called a Lord - beats The Ultimate Dragon with the Regal Stretch to win the WCW World Television Championship after Sonny Onoo roundhouse kicks Dragon in the back of the head. Onoo is heard saying "I make champions...I destroy champions" after the match.

Lee Marshall guests on commentary for the next match.

Madusa beats Luna Vachon.



"Mean" Gene Okerlund plus the WCW Hotline, announcing that there is an interim change in talent coordination in WCW, and that the exclusive details are on the Hotline, as well as news that a WCW Superstar may be leaving. Suddenly, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with Miss Elizabeth, takes Okerlund's microphone and shoos him away before he and Miss Elizabeth head to the ring. Savage rattles off some name from the New World Order, and says that Diamond Dallas Page doesn't want to feel the madness or want a piece of him anymore. Page shows up in the crowd with a bent crutch in his hands, and his advance towards the ring proves otherwise. Eric Bischoff shows and helps Savage to the entrance ramp where Buff Bagwell, Vincent and Scott Norton wait as Bischoff, and Page says that Savage doesn't want to feel the madness anymore, and implies that Savage is running to Hogan by saying that Savage is going to his house to wash his car and kiss his ass. Savage tells the nWo that he's taking care of business. Savage then slowly heads to the ring, but when he slides in, Page bashes him with the crutch. When the rest of the nWo get in, they feel that crutch, too, but Scott Norton is able to get his hands on Page and slug him, ripping his shirt off and exposing his taped ribs. As the nWo stomp on Page, The Giant runs in and comes to the aid of Page. Savage tries to get back into the ring, but the nWo have to hold him back.



Mike Tenay guests on commentary for the next match.

Rey Mysterio Jr. beats Yuji Yasuroaka.

Glacier beats Mortis by disqualification after Wrath shows up and attacks Glacier with Mortis' staff. As Mortis and Wrath continue to attack Glacier, an unknown man shows up and lays out both Mortis and Wrath with some well-practiced karate kicks, and he is identified by commentary as karate champion Ernest Miller.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund plugs the WCW Hotline again.

Dean Malenko retains the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Jeff Jarrett with the Texas Cloverleaf when Steve "Mongo" McMichael shows up and tosses Jarrett back into the ring.

Meng beats "The Crippler" Chris Benoit in a Death Match by submission with a nerve hold. Before the match, Meng scares Jimmy Hart away. During the match, Jacqueline shows up, but walks away when Woman approaches her. After the match, officials, Woman and a trainer all check on Benoit.

The Great American Bash comes to pay-per-view on June 15th!

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat The Dungeon of Doom (Konnan and Hugh Morrus). After the match, Konnan lays Hugh Morrus out, and tells Jimmy Hart "Blood in, blood out."

Steve "Mongo" McMichael beats Reggie White. During the match, Green Bay Packers team member Gilbert Brown shows up and carries Mongo back to the ring when he decides to leave, and Mongo drops the briefcase, which he eventually gets back. Near the end, Debra McMichael distracts the ref so that Mongo can use the Halliburton briefcase as Reggie White has him beat, but Gilbert Brown takes it from him. As the referee is distracted with Gilbert Brown, Jeff Jarrett shows up with another steel Halliburton briefcase and tosses it to Mongo, who then smacks it into the back of Reggie White. (The match proves to be Reggie White's only professional wrestling match.)

"Rowy" Roddy Piper, Kevin Green and "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beat The Wolfpack (Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and Syxx). During the match, Piper knocks out referee Randy Anderson when he does not see Piper get tagged in, leading to total chaos and Nick Patrick officiating the rest of the match.
