In the modern age it might come in handy to understand what a human being should say and do when dragged before the Magi-strate. It seems the law of the sea is being applied to all who blindly walk through the legal process. The courts are using the strawman fiction to compel living humans who could be free of all this nonsense, with a little understanding –or- OVERSTANDING.

On this week’s episode of The Pro Wrasslin’ Reflection

Podcast episode 39…  We review the WCW STARRCADE 1997!

The Professor” Chabelo Vera Cruz and Mr. Wonderful Tommy Wonder relive this classic WCW (World Championship Wrestling) Event!

Event information:

Starrcade (1997) was the fifteenth annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event, produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It took place on December 28, 1997 from the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. It featured the ongoing storyline between WCW and the New World Order (nWo) organization.

The main event was between Hollywood Hogan and Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, with Hogan representing the nWo and Sting representing WCW. The match culminated a year-long buildup of their feud. The match ended in controversy over the referee's pinfall count, and their feud continued after the event surrounding this. Other matches included Larry Zbyszko and Eric Bischoff for the control of WCW Monday Nitro, and Curt Hennig and Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.

The event became the biggest-grossing pay-per-view in WCW history. Despite its success, however, the card is seen as pivotal to the downfall of WCW, as it set a tone for backstage dissension and poor creative decisions going forward.
