Back in 1991, WCW and New Japan Pro Wrestling had worked up a long standing talent swap agreement. Antonio Inoki, was looking at a way of really filling the Tokyo Dome and dominating the Japanese wrestling landscape. Seeing the potential of a unification bout, and with the help of WCW's Jim Herd (yes Jim actually helped), he put together Starrcade in the Tokyo Dome, an eleven match card topped off with the main event pitting IWGP Heavyweight Champion "The Dragon" Tatsumi Fujinami vs WCW and NWA World's Heavyweight Champion "Nature Boy" Ric Flair. James is joined by Alex Watt to style and profile their way through this epic card, and as always the are totally fair to Flair, and The Dragnon too.
