StarrCade

Starrcade was the primary supercard of the NWA and WCW from 1983 until 2000. It was the first annual wrestling supercard to be broadcast on closed-circuit television, before even the legendary WrestleMania.

Perhaps the highest moment in Starrcade history was in December 1997 when Hollywood Hogan lost the WCW/nWo World Heavyweight Title to Sting after holding it for over a year. The following year, rookie world champion Bill Goldberg's undefeated winning streak came to an end when he was defeated by Kevin Nash with help from Scott Hall who jabbed Goldberg with a taser to help Nash win the match. Ric Flair is widely considered to be the "flagship" of Starrcade, as he headlined 9 of these supercards.
