10 Things That Prove December Is The Worst Month For Wrestling

10. No More Starrcade

WWE's chief competitor was WCW, and WCW's equivalent to WrestleMania was Starrcade. The show actually predated WrestleMania by nearly a year and a half, as the first Starrcade was held in November of 1983, while the first WrestleMania was held in March of 1985.

The first five Starrcade events took place on Thanksgiving, but after a scheduling conflict with Survivor Series in 1987, the show moved to December the following year. It remained a part of the final month of the year until the last show in 2000, meaning that throughout the '90s, December was part of the buildup to a supershow.

While today, December is pretty uneventful, those years played host to a ton of classic moments from some of WCW's most beloved superstars - men like Vader, Sting, Goldberg, and Randy Savage. More than a decade and a half later, a lot of that work has gone forgotten, and late fall/early winter is more boring for it.
