10 Best Moments In Starrcade History

2. "Skywalkers" Match (1986)

On paper, matches which see their participants compete on a stretch of scaffolding suspended high above the ring sound like an odd mix of awesome and awful.

Awesome because few match types in wrestling carry the same level of risk, and you have to take your hat off to anyone prepared to take a potentially career-threatening fall to entertain the fans, but awful because most wrestlers tend to do their best work on a canvas more than one metre wide.

This one - a tag team bout from the era of great tag teams (The Road Warriors and The Midnight Express) and even better managers (Paul Ellering and Jim Cornette) - was firmly in the "awesome" camp, even if it ended with Cornette blowing out his knee after one of the worst bumps of all-time.
