10 Weirdest WCW PPV Main Events Ever

10. Hollywood Hulk Hogan vs Roddy Piper - Starrcade 1996

During the 1980s, you couldn't have asked for a better main event match than Hulk Hogan versus "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. 

This was the feud that had closed out the very first WrestleMania and had helped turn WWE into the biggest promotion in America. However, by the time 1996 rolled around, a lot had changed. 

Hogan and Piper closed out Starrcade '96 when they were both in their mid-forties, which meant something very different back then than it does today. But that's not why this match is so odd. 

After years of failing to defeat The Hulkster as a heel, gallant babyface Piper made the NWO leader pass out in a sleeper hold, winning him the match and the WCW title. At least, that's what everyone thought at the time. 

Despite Hogan being the champion and this being the main event of the biggest show of the year, Piper apparently "forgot" to make this match for the belt, rendering his victory ultimately useless. 

Hollywood Hulk would hold onto the gold until August the following year, and Piper would never once get his mitts on the top prize.
