Ric Flair vs. Nikita Koloff ***1/4
Starrcade 1989
(note-- This was mostly a concept show to decide who would be the Wrestler and Tag Team of the 1990s....each wrestler or team wrestled the others, and the ones with the most points would be declared the winner. Good idea in theory, in practice it didnt really come off that well. Still, a fairly entertaining show.)The Steiners vs. Doom

Johnny B. Badd vs. Arn Anderson TV Title Match
Harlem Heat vs. Nasty Boys
Kevin Sullivan vs. Mr. T
Avalanche vs. Sting
Hulk Hogan vs. Butcher WCW World Title Match
Starrcade 1995
***note-- Another concept show for a Starrcade, but this one is actually really good, as New Japan has "invaded" WCW (sound familiar?) and thus we have a World Cup of Wrestling to decide who the best really is. Plus on top of that a really good main event. If you're interested, you can click HERE to check out my friend Brandon's review of this show.***Chris Benoit vs. Jushin Liger ***1/2
Alex Wright vs. Koji Kanemoto

Macho Man Randy Savage vs. Tenzan
Sting vs. Kenasuki SasakiSting vs. Lex Luger vs. Ric Flair Winner gets a title shot against Randy Savage **** (geez, as Sting, Luger, and Savage have ALL wrestling already tonight, do you think Flair might win this one? Great match though and a good ending, typical Flair)
Ric Flair vs. Macho Man Randy Savage WCW World Title Match ***
Starrcade 1996
Ultimo Dragon vs. Dean Malenko J-Crown vs. Cruiserweight Title *** (this unified all 9 titles, which amazingly I never heard a mention of on either WWF or WCW TV, since one of the belts in the J-Crown was the WWF Jr. Title....a WWF Title defended on WCW's biggest PPV, and no mention of it....somebody should have been doing their homework back then)
Madusa vs. Akira Hokuto (WCW again tries to throw me a bone with a women's match, but Madusa was absolutely worthless at this point, and Hokuto was still good but she wasn't early 90s Hokuto, who could have *** match at will and with anybody)
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Jushin Liger *** (good match, completely heatless unfortunately)
Chris Benoit vs. Jeff Jarrett
Outsiders vs. Faces of Fear
Eddy Guerrero vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Giant vs. Lex Luger
Hollywood Hogan vs. Roddy Piper
Starrcade 1997
Eddie Guerrero vs. Dean Malenko Cruiserweight Title Match (decent match but disappointing, considering what these guys have done previously against each other)
Scott Norton/Vincent/Konnan vs. Steiner Brothers/Ray Traylor
Bill Goldberg vs. Steve McMichael (this was pre-Superman phase for Goldberg, although he still sucks)
Chris Benoit vs. Saturn
Lex Luger vs. Buff Bagwell
Diamond Dallas Page vs. Curt Hennig U.S. Title Match
Larry Zbyscko vs. Eric Bischoff
Hulk Hogan vs. Sting WCW World Title Match (out of all the fuckups in the history of WCW, this ranks as pretty much the biggest...what a fuckin joke)
Starrcade 1998
Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera vs. Billy Kidman Cruiserweight Title Match ****1/2
Eddy Guerrero vs. Billy Kidman Cruiserweight Title Match **** (Eddy came out and challenged Kidman right after the opening match, and God bless him for it)
Norman Smiley vs. Prince Iaukea
The Cat vs. Saturn
Brian Adams/Scott Norton vs. Fit Finlay/Jerry Flynn (what the hell.....3 outta 4 guys in this match have no business wrestling at the biggest PPV of WCW's year)

Dustin Rhodes vs. Jeff Jarrett
Diamond Dallas Flair vs. David Flair
Sting vs. Lex Luger
Kevin Nash vs. Sid Powerbomb Match
Chris Benoit vs. Mystery Opponent (Jeff Jarrett) U.S. Title Match *** (earlier in the show, Benoit was given the U.S. Title when Hall had to vacate it and challenged anybody to face him later that night and Jarrett accepted)
Bret Hart vs. Goldberg (sigh....and here endeth Bret's career due to Goldberg not being able to even do a proper superkick...well Bret would wrestle for a few months after, but it basically ended right here...well, it actually ended as soon as he appeared in WCW....eh, nevermind)
