  • Episode 10: Starrcade '92
    The Lethal Lottery has WCW all mixed up! Again! WCW actually loved the Battlebowl: The Lethal Lottery concept so much it ran it for two Starrcades in a row. On the bright side, it isn't the whole show this time! The grand tradition of the Battlebowl championship ring begins (a year late) as Sting tries to win a second ring (on the same night he's been given his first one)...and faces Vader for the King of Cable as well. Oh, and hey, we've got two World titles now. What's up with that? To find out, let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 9: Starrcade '91
    The Lethal Lottery has WCW all mixed up! Starrcade hosts a night full of unusual tag team action, leading up to one (just slightly overcomplicated) battle royal - it's time for Battlebowl! Can Sting endure against the onslaught of evil champion Lex Luger's henchmen and the Dangerous Alliance? Who will win when Freebird faces Freebird? What bold new hero will rise to capture the crowd's loyalty? All this and a bold, definitely totally original new wrestler that does everything an, uh, arachnid can! Let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 6: Starrcade '88
    It's the show that had so much grit it needed an extra "t!" Jim Crockett Promotions has fallen, but in its place rises World Championship Wrestling. Will the show feel markedly different from what came before? Will Lex Luger defeat Ric Flair in a battle for the title, with the DQ rule waived in his favor? In a battle between the original and new Midnight Express, which comes out on top? And just how did Kevin Sullivan convince a nice guy like Dr. Death to join his squad of evil college graduates, anyway? For all this and more, let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 5: Starrcade '87
    It's the end of an era with Starrcade '87: Chi-Town Heat (alternately, Glory Bound). It's time to find out if less is more, as Starrcade '87 has 5 fewer matches than the prior year. Will a shorter show be a better show? Will Dusty Rhodes face the end of his career (for 90 days)? Will Ric Flair's second time around as challenger at Starrcade be as memorable as his first? With Ole gone, will Arn and Tully carry on the Anderson Legacy? And which wrestler reminded John of a Sesame Street character? For all this and more...let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 4: Starrcade '86
    It's the gift that keeps on giving, whether you particularly want it to or not, as Starrcade '86 is an hour longer...much of which is made up of video packages for other shows. But don't worry, there's wrestling too! Which is more powerful, whip or chain? Who will win when the Road Warriors and the Midnight Express battle high above the ring? (Gravity. Gravity wins.) And will Ric Flair retain his title against bold new crowd favorite babyface...Nikita Koloff? For all this and more, let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 3: Starrcade '85
    Dusty Rhodes has had some Hard Times since Starrcade '84, but now he's back to take it out on Ric Flair. Will we actually get an honest-to-goodness finish this time? Will the Midnight Express escape a match against Jimmy Valiant with tuxedos intact? (Wait...didn't Jimmy Valiant lose a "Loser Leaves Town" match last time? Again?) Can Manny Fernandez hold on to the sombrero that he so casually tossed to the crowd last year? And who is the exciting third member of the announce team? For all this and more...let's go to the ring!

    A year has passed since Dusty Rhodes boldly battled audio problems to issue his challenge to Ric Flair...now, it's time to find out who wins the title - as well as a million dollars - at Starrcade '84: The Million Dollar Challenge. It's also time to find out if Ricky Steamboat or Tully Blanchard will take home the gold and the money in Starrcade '84: The Twenty Thousand Dollar Challenge. Will Jimmy Valiant have to leave town again (and if he does, will he actually do it this time)? And will Assassin #1 get his revenge on Paul Jones for not cheating well enough for him? To find out...let's go to the ring!

  • Episode 1: Starrcade '83
    It begins! We start off our look through WCW with the series commonly called WCW's version of Wrestlemania, Starrcade. A pre-WCW Jim Crockett Promotions created the wrestling supercard with Starrcade '83, and in so doing made wrestling history. Will Ricky Steamboat and Jay Youngblood win the tag titles for the record fifth time? Will Ric Flair get his revenge on Harley Race for attempting to take him out of wrestling for good? Is Wahoo's last name McDaniel or McDaniels? And how many times will Dusty Rhodes have to cut the same promo? For answers to all these questions...let's go to the ring!

About Let's Go to the Ring!

From the publisher's feed

Join us monthly as we look through the good old days - and not-so-good old days - of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), series by series, to figure out what makes each of WCW's shows tick. Just what defines Starrcade, and what defines Halloween Havoc? WCW may have gone out of business years ago, but it will never lose its place in wrestling history, and its position as the one true competitor to the WWF may never be replicated. Together, let's take a look through it and enjoy the highs, lows, and strange decisions along the way.
