Headlined with the nWo's Hulk Hogan taking on Sting, the show would garnered more pay per view buyers than any other big show that was produced by Eric Bischoff and World Championship Wrestling. While this leads us to believe that WCW would do their very best to give fans the ultimate wrestling show, it turned out to be quite messy... a series of problems led the show to becoming more infamous for all the wrong reasons. Between advertised superstars not appearing to the truly questionable finish to the Hogan vs Sting match, Starrcade 97 could easily be considered as the "beginning of the end" for World Championship Wrestling. This video looks at the entire pay per view while pointing out 6 key problems with the show. 00:00 - History of Starrcade / PPV buys for Starrcade 97 03:27 - Malenko vs Guerrero 04:59 - Kevin Nash doesn't show up 06:34 - Another advertised superstar doesn't appear 08:09 - Goldberg vs Steve McMichael 08:52 - Another shceduled match gets changed 10:25 - Bagwell vs Luger / DDP vs Hennig 12:38 - Special Referee Bret Hart 15:09 - Sting vs Hogan 19:55 - The lasting effects of Starrcade 97 #Wrestling #WCW #nwo
