WCW: 10 Best Starrcade Matches

3. Vader vs. Ric Flair €“ Starrcade 1993

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG116I6loT0 Ric Flair had returned to WCW after his brief spell at the WWF, while Big Van Vader had held the WCW Championship for most of the year, only trading the title with Sting during a European tour. The Nature Boy promised to retire if he lost. The usual big man vs. little man arc was used, with Flair being the quicker veteran and Vader being the powerful beast and looking unbeatable. It was a brilliant story, like the retirement run from €™07-€™08 but with Flair being at his classic best. Vader drags Flair around and wrecks the Hall of Famer for the opening ten minutes, with the challenger€™s sporadic attacks having little effect on the big man. The Nature Boy begins to take aim at Vader€™s leg. Vader escapes the Figure Four, but misses the Vader Bomb. The big man misses the moonsault, before Flair catches his leg and rolls him up for the win.
