-WCW Starcade - Sunday, Dec 28, 1997
-WCW Cruiserweight Title Match-
-Steiner Brothers/Ray Traylor vs. Scott Norton/Vincent/Macho Man:
-Scott Hall came out and said that Kevin Nash was in attendance and that the Giant won via forfeit. The Giant came out and powerbombed Hall.
-Raven vs. Chris Benoit:
-Buff Bagwell d. Lex Luger via pinfall after Scott Norton helped Buff.
-WCW United States Title Match-
-Special Referee: Bret Hart-
-WCW World Title Match- In what was supposed to be one of the biggest PPV's of all time, WCW let us down without even giving us a pillow. The one reason...SCREWJOB! Benoit losing was a screwjob, Luger losing was a screwjob, Bischoff losing was a screwjob (although nobody wanted to see nWo Nitro), and Hogan losing was a screwjob (although nobody wanted Hogan to keep the belt). Ric Flair not being able to get revenge on Curt Henning didn't help either and of course DDP filling in for Flair in what was supposed to be a CAGE match, was a let down cause we've seen that match over a hundred times. Overal Rating: Not giving a rating this time because of all the screwjobs. It was nice seeing Bret Hart put Scott Hall in the Sharpshooter. :-)
-Eddie Guerrero d. Dean Malenko via Frogsplash to retain title.
-I don't remember who won this match, of course I really didn't care about the match either.
-Raven didn't show (illness) so Saturn took his place. Saturn won via Rings of Saturn after the "Flock" interfered.
-Diamond Dallas Page d. Curt Henning via Diamond Cutter to win the US Title.
-Larry Zbyszko d. Eric Bischoff:
-Scott Hall put a foreign object in Eric's boot and kicked Larry with it, but Bret attacked him giving Larry the win by referee's decision. Afterwards Hall attacked Bret, but Bret kicked his ass and put him in the Sharpshooter.
-Sting d. Hollywood Hogan via Scorpion Deathlock to win the title.
-Hogan pinned Sting for the 3 count, but Bret Hart stopped the bell from ringing, threw Hogan back into the ring, and restarted the match after punching the ref. Sting put Hogan in the Deathlock and Hogan tapped.
