National Wrestling Alliance: SlamBoree 1990

SlamBoree 1990

NWA/WCW SlamBoree PPV was a smash hit receiving a "A" rating by wrestling, sports writers around the industry. The show also posted the highest buy rate of the other two PPVs Sunday held by the AWA and AJPW. Over 32,000 fans witnessed the show live in the Astrodome in Texas.
