10 Amazing WCW Starrcade Moments WWE Should Take Inspiration From
9. Three To Tango
Bewilderingly electing to use their biggest show of the year to host a 'Wrestling World Cup' in co-promotion with New Japan Pro Wrestling, WCW at least offered a double main event catered more towards their loyal audience - particularly those that were sick to death of Hulk Hogan's maniacal grip on the promotion's title.
Ahead of a WCW World Title clash with Randy Savage as the show-closer, Ric Flair went nearly thirty minutes in an innovative (outside of ECW, anyway) triangle match with Sting and Lex Luger following their own World Cup contests earlier in the show.
With the rationale that all were equally tired but had to fight in order to claim the single pinfall victory, it kept the action routinely intriguing, with the Sting/Flair, Luger/Flair and Sting/Luger pair-offs all full of unique dovetailing stories from their various angles currently taking place on the increasingly chaotic Monday Nitro.
It was perhaps a little let down by the finish, which saw Flair break up a Torture Rack to Sting by Lex by clipping 'The Total Package's knee, then win by count-out when both fell to the floor. Presumably initiated to protect both the losers, it diminished an otherwise enjoyable and impressive effort ahead of 'The Nature Boy' winning yet another World Title immediately afterwards.
