I was thinking about Starccade. For eighteen years, Starrcade was JCP/WCW's biggest show of the year. Dating back even further than Wrestlemania and serving as JCP's first PPV, it has a reputation of being WCW's definitve event. Yet, the amount of talk Starrcade receives isn't nearly in the Wrestlemania ballpark. Perhaps it's because we haven't seen a new Starrcade in eleven years or perhaps it's because WCW failed to make it as memorable as it's WWE counterpart. That changes now.
What do you feel is the single best Starrcade event? Perhaps 1983 with the killer three punch combo of Stemaboat/Youngblood vs Briscos, Valentine/Piper and Race/Flair. Maybe it's the PPV debut with the infamous dusty finish to Brainbusters/Road Warriors and Ric Flair regaining the title in a steel cage. Maybe we prefer 1995's co-event with New Japan Pro Wrestling where you got to see your favorite WCW talents collide with the likes of Muta, Chono and Liger.
Meanwhile, what do you feel is the best match in Starrcade history? Sure, Vader vs Flair in 1993 won the WWE.com contest to be ranked #1 on the Starrcade DVD, but perhaps you have a different choice?
Lastly, how do you feel Starrcade compared to Wrestlemania? Was it truly WCW's answer to Wrestlemania or was it a concept that had never fully realized it's potential?
In addition, feel free to talk about all of your favorite and least favorite Starrcade moments over the course of it's eighteen years of existence.
