Spring Stampede (1999) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW) on April 11, 1999 at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington. It was the fourth event in the Spring Stampede chronology. In the main event, Diamond Dallas Page won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship by defeating champion Ric Flair, Hollywood Hogan, Sting in a Four Corners match, with Randy Savage serving as the guest referee. On the undercard, Scott Steiner defeated Booker T to win the vacant WCW United States Heavyweight Championship, Goldberg defeated Kevin Nash while Horsemen Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko defeated Raven and Perry Saturn.

The show was very well received by critics and wrestling fans alike, particularly the Juventud Guerrera vs Blitzkrieg opening match; it is also considered by many wrestling fans and critics as the last well received pay-per-view that WCW produced.^[1] In addition, this is the first pay-per-view event to feature the new WCW logo after the previous one was retired six days before.

Storylines[]

The event involved wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portrayed villains or heroes in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.^[2]

Reception[]

Dylan Diot of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 7.0 [Good], stating, "Many people have praised this as one of WCW's best shows and one of if not THE best show of 1999. I don't think it holds up quite as well looking back, but it is still a good show. The wrestling itself was very good but weird finishes and some questionable booking left a bad taste in my mouth. I'll definitely recommend the show cause it is easy to watch and has some really good wrestling but I won't put it as an all-time great WCW show."^[3]
