The best match of the memorable feud between Sting and Vader was their encounter at the Omni in Atlanta during Starrcade. This time there was no title belt involved as the two met in the finals of the "King of Cable" tournament. Eight men had entered the tournament when it started in November. Besides Sting and Vader, other competitors had included: Barry Windham, Tony Atlas, Rick Rude, Brian Pillman, Dustin Rhodes, and the Barbarian. Tournament matches were held on WCW Saturday Night and the Clash of the Champions throughout November and December of 1992. Considering this is Vader that we are talking about, the match wasn't a technical masterpiece, but it was a hell of a brawl. Making the performance even more memorable was the fact that both Vader and Sting had already wrestled once earlier in the night in Battle Bowl qualifying tag team matches. After this match, these two went on and somehow wrestled a third time in the Battle Bowl battle royal (won by the Great Muta). To say that the WCW roster was thin on top tier talent at the time would be an understatement.
