Whether it was fighting off factions like the Four Horsemen or representing the promotion as world champion…there was always Sting. He was always the one constant that fans could depend on. That one franchise wrestler was none other than Sting. The one wrestler who die hard WCW fans believed could fight back against the nWo was nowhere to be found. For the stars that stayed loyal to WCW’s cause…were simply out muscled and overpowered.

Stars that fans thought would be WCW’s hero…wound up turning their back on the company and joining forces with the nWo. In essence, the nWo had pretty much taken control of the company. All the stars were aligned on this night…It wasn’t a question of if it would be successful…but how successful.įor over a year, the New World Order was running roughshod over everything in WCW. Overall, it was the pay per view that was going to knock out the then reeling World Wrestling Federation from competition.

A match over a year in the making, was finally going to take place and it was going to take place on the biggest show in WCW’s calendar year….Starrcade. But it didn’t pan out that way and today Brian looks at why it didn’t pan out as expected.ĭecember 28th, 1997 was suppose to be (pardon the Tony Schiavone pun) the biggest night in WCW history. Starrcade 1997 was supposed to be the event that would be the biggest in the history of WCW and one that would knock whatever stuffing was left out of the WWE.
