And before you ask, no, it was on a random Monday Nitro.
It was at Slamboree 2000, which was not a big or important PPV, but a PPV nonetheless.

It also was held in Kemper Arena, just under a year after Owen Hart fell to his death in the same building!

Didn't WCW have Sting descend from the rafters in that same building once? I seem to remember some uproar about that.

They had him lurking in the rafters at a Nitro in KC, but it was in May 1998 so you can't really blame them for not seeing into the future. I believe I've seen this referenced as post-Owen, but it was May 1998 in the midst of the NWO Hollywood/Wolfpac feud. WCW only did two shows from Kemper after Owen died.

One was the October 4, 1999 Nitro which is remembered for both the Benoit/Bret tribute match for Owen, and also Sid Vicious's car get crushed into a cube. Sting wrestled in the main event (as a heel!) but didn't come from the rafters.

Then the Kanyon-toss event, Slamboree 2000. Sting was on the card wrestling Vampiro, but he just came out of the standard entrance. He did the descending from the rafters gimmick in the Vampiro feud at least once since it was in the video package for Slamboree, and a month later Vampiro lit Sting/a stunt double on fire and threw them off the Turnertron at GAB 2000, but neither of those two "Sting Up High" moments in that feud happened in Kansas City.

There was definitely an uproar about the Kanyon spot at the time. Bischoff still defends it, in a very Bischoffian way.

Odd, I thought there was a Triple Cage match on a Nitro as well. Timer and all.

Excuse me, how can you say Slamboree 2000 was not a "big or important PPV," when it featured defending WCW World Heavyweight Champion, David Arquette?

You're right that there was a random Nitro that featured WARGAMES 2000: RUSSO'S REVENGE. That is a different Triple Cage match from the one that Kanyon was involved in.

Corgis love bread. And Puro


I think that was one of the first ever wrestling gifs I saw, someone on DVDVR had it in their signature, albeit in a much lower quality. It always makes me smile.

Is it Shocker he lands on? I know that it's Ultimo Guerrero who attempts murder but can't remember who he lands on.

I also like that they teased a sequel
