Bunkhouse Stampede ‘88

Eight men battle inside a steel cage for a million-dollar prize.

Bunkhouse Stampede ‘88 was an NWA PPV event that took place on January 24, 1988 at the Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Notably, the start-time for the event was incorrectly printed on the tickets, causing many fans to miss the beginning of what was an already-short card. It is generally regarding as a blunder that foreshadowed the eventual bankruptcy of Jim Crockett Promotions in late 1988. The main event featured an eight man steel cage bunkhouse stampede match.
