“Hogan’s a colourful guy, but his nightmare’s black and white”....

In 1997, WCW presented their annual Starrcade event, showcasing Hollywood Hogan vs Sting in a main event for the ages. On the back of an 18 month build, WCW had the makings of a true classic. 

But why did it fail? Chris and Tony break down everything that happened in the infamous main event, the controversy surrounding the refereeing situation, and try to fathom out Sting’s “MAMACITA” moment.

There’s discussions involving 1997’s version of clickbait, Goldberg’s invention of brand new wrestling holds, Chris Benoit’s physique and Perry Saturn’s surprise hair. 

We also fantasy book Bret Hart’s 97 WCW debut, and The Fiend vs Seth Rollins in 2019. One for fans of all ages!
