After the video comes to an end, we swing by the announce table where Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan are ready to call all of the action here at the biggest event of the year, with Tony welcoming everyone to the "Granddaddy of Them All", Starrcade 2001! Tony notes that the Columbus Civic Center is jam-packed tonight, and Mike Tenay adds that he would expect nothing less for the biggest wrestling event of the year. Even Bobby Heenan is in a great mood tonight, saying that New Years Eve may be just a few days away, but that will be nothing compared to all the action that will take place tonight and he can't wait to get things started. On that note, Tony sends us down to ringside for our opening match here at Starrcade.

The action is fast and fierce right out of the gate as all three challengers want a piece of the Champion, turning the opening minutes of this one into a three on one beatdown of Billy Kidman. This "strategy" works well for a bit, but only until Chavo tries to go for a pin attempt, which is immediately broken up by both Shannon Moore and Cash, who both confront Chavo about his actions. The short-lived alliance ends when Chavo decks Cash, and front there it's every man for himself, which Tony Schiavone notes is how it should be. Vampiro and Big Smooth both get involved in the match when Vampiro grabs hold of Cash's leg to distract him and allow Shannon Moore to get the upper hand, Smooth responds to by attacking Vampiro and the two men brawl all the way back up the ramp, leaving just Torrie Wilson at ringside. The end of the match comes after Chavo Guerrero takes out Cash by launching himself over the top rope to hit a crossbody, while Billy Kidman climbs to the top rope and hits the Shooting Star Press on Shannon Moore in the ring. It looks like Kidman will successfully retain his Championship, but just before he can cover Shannon Moore, Chavo is back in the ring and he grabs Kidman, tosses him out of the ring, and steals the pin on Shannon Moore, earning himself a three count and the Cruiserweight Championship in the process. Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Shannon Moore, Billy Kidman and Cash at 14.22 by pinfall when Chavo pinned Moore after stealing the pin from Billy Kidman, who had just hit a Shooting Star Press. Chavo Guerrero Jr. wins the WCW Cruiserweight Championship (C+) </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="KZ3THeU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KZ3THeU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7bFbOrf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7bFbOrf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="SvNacxY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SvNacxY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="v70H8HK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/v70H8HK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6eOQ29A.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6eOQ29A.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="v4ps6Ig.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/v4ps6Ig.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This one starts off with The Invaders doing what they have been doing for most of this feud; they launch a sneak attack on Morrus, Animal and Konnan before the trio even make it all the way down to the ring. After dishing out a beating outside the ring, Mark Jindrak rolls Hugh Morrus into the ring to officially get the match started. Jindrak, Stasiak and Sanders make use of frequent tags to wear Morrus down, but Morrus is eventually able to make the tag to Road Warrior Animal, who starts cleaning house while Tony Schiavone notes that Animal probably has a lot of frustration to work out and he's doing it here as he levels all three Invaders with clothesline after clothesline. Animal makes the tag to Konnan, but Mike Sanders jams a thumb into Konnan's eye to give himself the advantage. The Invaders dominate Konnan for a few minutes, but Konnan is eventually able to almost make the hot tag...but just as he gets to his corner, Jindrak and Stasiak pull Morrus and Animal off the apron and a wild brawl erupts at ringside. Mike Sanders clearly thinks he's got the match won, but he walks right into a kick to the gut from Konnan, who quickly follows up with a facebuster. Konnan then applies the Ziplock and just like that Konnan is able to turn a looming defeat into victory as Sanders has no choice but to submit. Konnan, Hugh Morrus and Road Warrior Animal defeated The Invaders at 10.15 by submission when Konnan forced Mike Sanders to submit to the Ziplock © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="yjZhkPT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/yjZhkPT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> We cut to the back where "Mean" Gene Okerlund has caught up with the new WCW Cruiserweight Champion, Chavo Guerrero Jr.! Gene asks Chavo about his win tonight, especially given how he seemed to steal the win out from under Billy Kidman. Chavo is naturally offended by this, saying that he doesn't know what match Gene was watching out there, but he just dominated the very best competitors the cruiserweight division has to offer and he's got the gold to prove it. Gene wants to ask more questions, but Chavo tells him that since he can't show the proper respect to the Champion, then Gene doesn't deserve to interview him any longer. Chavo then walks off as Gene sends us back to ringside.

"The Cat" plays keep away early on, wanting no part of Flair who is clearly eager to finally get his hands of "The Cat" after months of issues between them. Flair even chases "The Cat" around the ring, and "The Cat" literally uses Miss Jones as a shield to hide behind. After a brief argument, Miss Jones slaps Flair across the face and "The Cat" uses that opening to finally launch his attack, driving Flair back-first into the guard rail and then rolling him back into the ring. "The Cat" continues to dominate in the ring, taunting Flair at every opportunity, but he finally goes too far when he tries to lock Flair in the Figure Four once again, which immediately prompts a comeback from "The Nature Boy". Flair beats "The Cat" all over the ring, lighting him up with knife edge chops in each of the four corners, then hitting a pair of inverted atomic drops before finally slamming "The Cat" in the middle of the ring. Miss Jones is up on the apron in an attempt to distract Flair, but Flair just tells her to "watch this" and then he applies the Figure Four Leglock. "The Cat" tries to fight it, but he ends up tapping frantically as this one ends with a clear win for "The Nature Boy" after months of frustration which, as Tony and Mike both point out, has to feel pretty damn good for Flair after everything "The Cat" has put him through. Ric Flair defeated "The Cat" at 10.36 by submission with the Figure Four Leglock © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="waG19mm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/waG19mm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Gc4aCsx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Gc4aCsx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dNLwm1L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dNLwm1L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Mean" Gene Okerlund is backstage again and this time he is with Chris Kanyon, who is joined by Stacy Keibler and Mike Awesome. Gene asks Kanyon about his match tonight against Bam Bam Bigelow, and about what role Stacy Keibler and Mike Awesome will play in that match. Kanyon says that as far as he knows it's still him and Bigelow one on one so he doesn't understand Gene's question. As for the match, Kanyon says that he is superior to Bam Bam Bigelow in every way and he'll prove that tonight. Gene tries to press Kanyon about Mike Awesome and Stacy Keibler's presence at ringside, but Kanyon just says that he doesn't need anyone's help to beat Bam Bam Bigelow here tonight. As the trio turn to leave, Stacy rolls her eyes at Gene before walking off, while Mike Awesome stares Gene down, intimidating him, and it is clearly working as Gene looks all manner of uncomfortable as we cut back to ringside just in time for Bam Bam Bigelow's entrance. © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="lPwVnNo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lPwVnNo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="waG19mm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/waG19mm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />w/<img alt="Gc4aCsx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Gc4aCsx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dNLwm1L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dNLwm1L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Kanyon tries to lure Bigelow out of the ring early on in this one, but Bigelow knows better than to fall for a trick that is clearly designed to allow Mike Awesome an opportunity to get involved in the match. The match is an intense brawl, with Bigelow beating the heck out of Kanyon in the first few minutes of this one before Kanyon is able to buy himself some time by avoiding a Bigelow clothesline by dropping to the mat and pulling down the top rope, which sends Bigelow to the outside. Mike Awesome tries to sneak up on Bigelow, but Bigelow sees him coming and gets the first shot in before returning to the ring. The match continues back in the ring until Stacy Keibler gets up on the apron to draw the referee's attention. Mike Awesome, furious about Bigelow getting the better of him earlier, quickly enters the ring and shows off his impressive strength as he is able to hit the Awesome Bomb on Bigelow (the impact of which the referee is somehow not able to hear), and Awesome quickly rolls out of the ring again, his damage done. Kanyon then hits the Kanyon Kutter and this one is over as the numbers game once again gets the better of Bam Bam Bigelow. Chris Kanyon defeated Bam Bam Bigelow at 8.17 by pinfall with the Kanyon Kutter after Mike Awesome got involved © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> WCW Tag Team Championships <img alt="OQcwFPp.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OQcwFPp.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="epiwJ9r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/epiwJ9r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tjPJopW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tjPJopW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="rxMZSbm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rxMZSbm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1S9VfKR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1S9VfKR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The second of four title matches here at Starrcade sees the Champions, Totally Buff, putting their titles on the line against Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo. As always, Luger and Bagwell stall for all they are worth, trying to get under the skin of their younger and far less experienced challengers. Bobby Heenan praises Totally Buff for this shrewd strategy, saying that O'Haire and Palumbo are a couple of hotheads who will end up defeating themselves by letting their frustration get the better of them. When the match finally does get underway, it is the Champions who take control by isolating Chuck Palumbo and using classic dirty tag team wrestling tactics, such as Luger choking Palumbo in the corner while Bagwell keeps the referee distracted. Palumbo tries to fight back, but every time the Champions are able to halt his momentum, most of the time by hook or crook. Third time turns out to be the charm for Palumbo, however, as he manages to fight off both Luger and Bagwell and get to his corner to make the hot tag to Sean O'Haire, who is completely fresh and has been stewing in the corner for several minutes, just itching to get into the ring. Now he finally does so, and he is cleaning house as both Luger and Bagwell are in the ring trying to fight him, but O'Haire is one step ahead of them. Chuck Palumbo rejoins the fight as well and now all four men are fighting it out in the ring--that is, until Palumbo clotheslines Bagwell, and himself, over the top rope, leaving O'Haire and Luger in the ring. "The Total Package" tries to get O'Haire up in the Torture Rack, but O'Haire is able to fight out of it, landing behind Luger. Luger then turns around right into a perfectly placed superkick to the jaw. Luger goes down in a heap, O'Haire quickly covers, and we have NEW WCW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo defeated Totally Buff at 11.37 by pinfall when O'Haire pinned Luger following a superkick. O'Haire and Palumbo win the WCW Tag Team Championships (B-) After the match, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo celebrate in the ring as they have just defeated the team that has held the Tag Team Championships since The Big Bang pay per view in May, with the exception of the two weeks that the titles were held by Kevin Nash and Randy Savage. Tony Schiavone noes that, like them or not, Totally Buff have been the most dominant tag team in 2001, yet O'Haire and Palumbo just defeated them at the biggest event of the year. Does that mean that 2002 will be O'Haire and Palumbo's year? © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> We swing by the announce table where Tony Schiavone informs us that coming up next is the Steel Cage match between "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett and "Macho Man" Randy Savage, adding that after tonight, Randy Savage will either be the number one contender to the World Heavyweight Championship...or he will be retired. A video then plays which highlights the long-standing issues between Savage and Jeff Jarrett, starting with the surprise return of Randy Savage to WCW at Bash At The Beach where he teamed up with the Insiders as their mystery third man. We see Savage winning the Tag Team Titles with Kevin Nash at New Blood Rising by defeating Totally Buff, then immediately we see the footage of Savage and Nash losing the Tag Team Titles back to Totally Buff two weeks later on Nitro, with Savage getting pinned following a guitar shot by Jeff Jarrett. Up next is footage from Fall Brawl where Jeff Jarrett defended the World Title against Randy Savage, with Jarrett winning the match by once again use his Acoustic Equalizer to get the job done. From there we move on to Halloween Havoc, where Randy Savage returned after having not been seen in WCW since Fall Brawl to prevent Jarrett from using his guitar in his World Title defense against Sting, which ultimately led to Sting picking up the win and becoming the World Champion. We also see footage of Savage defeating "The Total Package" Lex Luger at Mayhem, and then finally we see the confrontation between Jarrett and Savage on Nitro, which all finally led to the Steel Cage, World Title opportunity versus Career, match that is set to take place right here tonight at the biggest event of the year. As the video comes to an end, we rejoin Tony, Mike and Bobby at the announce table where Tony informs us that the Steel Cage match is coming up next here at Starrcade.

Mike Tenay notes that Savage has been waiting for a long time to get his hands of Jarrett and tonight he finally gets Jarrett one on one--and he gets him in a Steel Cage where Luger and Bagwell can't get involved. Bobby Heenan acknowledges that Savage is one of the greatest of all time, but tonight he is going up against someone who should rightfully still be the World Champion, which means that tonight could easily be Savage's last match because Heenan doesn't believe that he has what it takes to beat Jeff Jarrett, who is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, in the business today. <iframe width="200" height="200" src="<a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PiGGMI12tE" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/6PiGGMI12tE"</a> frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <img alt="9umPviH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9umPviH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett makes his way out next to nothing but boos from the crowd. As Jarrett nears the ring, he looks up at the Steel Cage that hangs above the ring and an uneasy look crosses his face as Tony speculates that the reality of being locked inside a Steel Cage with "Macho Man" Randy Savage just dawned on Jeff Jarrett. Mike Tenay adds that not only will Jarrett be locked inside with Savage, but he'll be locked inside the Cage with a ticked off Randy Savage, thanks to Jarrett's own actions over the past weeks and months. Jarrett somewhat reluctantly gets into the ring, the Steel Cage is lowered down, trapping both men inside, and we are ready to get underway here. Steel Cage Match - If Savage Wins, He Earns A Shot At The WCW World Heavyweight Championship. If Savage Loses, He Must Retire <img alt="TTtujDA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TTtujDA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="9umPviH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9umPviH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This one is deeply heated and deeply personal and Savage comes out swinging here as he goes after Jarrett as soon as the bell rings. Jarrett's first instinct is to run, but there is nowhere to run to thanks to the Steel Cage that encompasses the ring. This means that Jarrett is left with no choice but to try to survive the early onslaught from the "Macho Man", who is hammering away on Jarrett with a series of rapid punches. Savage then outright chokes Jarrett in the corner, showing exactly how heated things have gotten between these two men. Savage is all over Jarrett in the early parts of this one, and the only way Jarrett can buy himself a much needed break is by hitting a low blow to finally halt Savage's attack. Jarrett tries to go on the offensive, but Savage goes right back on the attack, grabbing Jarrett and launching him chest and head first into the side of the cage, prompting Mike Tenay to point out that the cage isn't just there to keep people out, or in, it can also be used quite effectively as a weapon, as Savage just demonstrated. Tony suggests that Savage should go for a pin attempt, but Savage doesn't appear to be interested in that right now--he wants to punish Jarrett. Savage hits a couple of inverted atomic drops, then hits a massive clothesline to take Jarrett off his feet. Savage then applies a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring, looking to wear Jarrett down. Jarrett is locked in the sleeper for a while, but he eventually manages to fight his way back to his feet and hit a desperation belly to back suplex to finally force Savage to break the hold. Jarrett struggles to get back to his feet and once again Savage beats him to the punch--only this time, Jarrett blatantly kicks Savage between the legs, drawing a ton of heat from the crowd in the process. Bobby Heenan quickly points out that there are no disqualifications in a Steel Cage match, so what Jarrett did is perfectly legal. The kick finally gives Jarrett a chance to get into the match as he controls the next several minutes. Jarrett bounces Savage's head off the top turnbuckle, and then it is Savage's turn to taste the steel as Jarrett launches him back-first into the cage. Jarrett puts the boots to Savage, then pulls him to his feet and drives his head into the steel cage. Jarrett hits a russian leg sweep and goes for the cover, but Savage is able to kick out. Jarrett goes for an irish whip, but Savage is able to counter it and he sends Jarrett chest-first into the turnbuckle, driving the air from his lungs. Savage then hits a belly to back suplex and goes for a cover of his own, but Jarrett kicks out after two. We are getting deeper into the match and the effects of the match are starting to show on both men as the pace of the match slows down and both men are looking worse for wear. The announcers put over just how brutal and grueling a Steel Cage match is, and it has clearly taken its toll on both men, as both are slow to get back to their feet now. Jarrett and Savage meet in the middle of the ring to exchange punches, and it is Savage who gets the upper hand as Mike Tenay notes that Jarrett probably doesn't want to trade punches with Savage because few men would come out on top of that situation. Savage appears to get his second wind as he strings together a series of moves, and then he scoop slams Jarrett in the middle and heads to the top rope. Savage leaps off the top rope, or as must as he can with the roof of the cage in his way, looking for the big Elbow Drop...but Jarrett rolls out of the way at the last moment to avoid potential disaster. Both men are back to their feet, but Jarrett now goes to work on Savage's right arm, which is still feeling the effects of missing the elbow drop moments ago. Savage is able to shove Jarrett into the ropes and he looks to score with a clothesline with his left arm, but Jarrett avoids it, grabs Savage and....JARRETT HITS THE STROKE!!!! Jarrett covers Savage and... 1.... 2.... ....3!!!--NOOO!!! The referee almost counted three, but he says two and a half. Savage just barely managed to kick out. Jarrett can't believe it, and he argues with the referee that it was a three count, but the referee maintains that it was a two count only. Jarrett is clearly frustrated, but he eventually gets back on track and applies the Figure Four Leglock, which draws a ton of boos for all kinds of reasons. Savage is clearly in a lot of pain, but "Macho Man" is refusing to submit as submitting would mean quitting on his career as well, as Tony Schiavone points out, and there is no way that Savage would ever quit on his career like that. Possibly realizing that Savage isn't going to submit, Jarrett releases the Figure Four and pulls a limping Savage back to his feet. Jarrett looks to score with another Stroke, but Savage is able to hit a desperation belly to back suplex which leaves both men down in the middle of the ring. Both men slowly get back to their feet and Jarrett charges, but Savage catches him with not one, not two, but three inverted atomic drops! Jarrett is clearly in a lot of pain here, and Savage takes advantage with a kick to the midsection and then he hits a piledriver! Savage doesn't go for the cover, however, but instead he heads to the top turnbuckle again, looking to land that one big elbow that would not only extend his career, but earn him a shot at the World Title as well. A weary Savage finally gets to the top and leaps...but for the second time in the match, Jarrett is able to roll out of the way at the very last second and Savage crashes and burns. Exhausted, Jarrett pulls himself up using the ropes for help, drags an equally exhausted Savage back to his feet as well and.....JARRETT HITS ANOTHER STROKE!!! Completely spent, Jarrett is just barely able to get an arm across Savage's chest and... 1... 2... .....3!!! The match is finally over! Jeff Jarrett defeated Randy Savage at 22.21 by pinfall with the Stroke. As a result of this outcome, Randy Savage must retire from professional wrestling (B) The match is over and, unfortunately for Randy Savage, it is "The Chosen One" who is victorious, which means that Randy Savage's career just ended here at Starrcade. An exhausted Jarrett leaves the ring, having just picked up a huge win, and after a while, Savage slowly gets to his feet as well. He does so to cheers from the crowd, who shows nothing but love and respect for Randy Savage's performance here tonight, as well as his career as a whole. An exhausted and emotional Savage acknowledges the fans as realization dawns on him, while Tony Schiavone informs everyone that he has just been told that Eric Bischoff will allow Randy Savage to appear on the first Monday Nitro of 2002 to say his goodbyes as his career sadly comes to an end.

Once in the ring... "If I can be serious for a minute"...Storm is visibly upset here and he complains about not being booked for the biggest event of the year. Storm says that he has been disrespected time and time again by this country, but he's not going to take it anymore. Storm says that when he finally got a fair chance on Nitro a few weeks ago, he immediately delivered by defeating Sting one on one, yet he is not even booked for Starrcade? Storm says that this company is biased against him, just like this country is, and--and that's when WCW owner Eric Bischoff's music hits! (B) <img alt="sSiM1MW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sSiM1MW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eric Bischoff joins Storm in the ring, and he starts off by telling Storm that he actually agrees with him. Bischoff admits that Storm did deserve to have been booked in a match tonight, and that Storm belongs at Starrcade. Bischoff says that he doesn't want to disrespect Storm--in fact, he's got nothing but respect for Storm and he sees great things in his future. But as great a future as Storm has ahead of him, it will be even greater if he is smart and surrounds himself with the right kind of people...Bischoff then smirks as he adds "like the owner of the company!" Bischoff then extends his hand to Storm, and after considering it, Storm accepts and shakes Bischoff's hand! The announcers aren't quite sure what this means for the future, but apparently Lance Storm and Eric Bischoff have joined forces here at Starrcade.

The first few minutes of this one feature some fairly standard action, with KroniK dominating by using their size and strength advantage to take control. The Jung Dragons are able to change the momentum of the match by picking up the pace, putting Adams and Clark on the defensive while The Mamalukes bide their time outside the ring, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. <img alt="O9mmnFa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/O9mmnFa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan might not have found a tag team partner for tonight, but that doesn't stop him from getting involved as he suddenly makes his way down to the ring. Duggan's presence immediately draws the attention of the Jung Dragons, who make the mistake of taking their eyes off KroniK, who takes advantage by throwing Yang out of the ring, hitting their High Times double chokeslam finisher on Kaz, and covering him for the three count and the first elimination after a little more than five minutes of action. The Mamalukes immediately go on the offensive, and the next several minutes are filled with back and forth action, with both teams coming close to picking up the win. In the end, KroniK proves that, at least for tonight, and at least in this match, size matters as they hit their second High Times of the night, this time on Big Vito, and Brian Adams covers Vito and picks up the win while Bryan Clark prevents Johnny The Bull from breaking up the pin. KroniK defeated The Mamalukes and The Jung Dragons at 11.52 by pinfall when Brian Adams pinned Big Vito following a High Times after first eliminating the Jung Dragons. KroniK are the new number one contenders to the WCW Tag Team Championships © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7PSSM69.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7PSSM69.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Mean" Gene Okerlund is backstage with the WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Sting. Gene asks Sting about tonight and his huge title defense against "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner here at Starrcade. Sting is excited, saying that tonight is the biggest night of the entire year and the Stinger is here to defend the World Championship--how could he not be excited? Sting says that he knows that Scott Steiner has been pretty close to unstoppable in recent months, but he'll be facing a jam-packed arena tonight full of people who will be cheering for the Stinger, and Sting adds that he will do everything in his power to not let all those people tonight.

Rey kicks things off with a flurry of offense, but his momentum is quickly derailed when DDP plants him with a gutwrench powerbomb. Page tries to get the fans to cheer him, but he gets nothing but boos in return which prompts him to yell to Rey that this is his time, not Rey's. Page then hits a big time gutbuster and the challenger is firmly in control early on in this one. DDP remains in control as he irish whips Rey back-first into all four corners of the ring, one after the other, then finally takes Rey down with a discus clothesline. Page gets back to his feet, but instead of maybe throwing up the Diamond Cutter sign like he would have done in the past, Page instead just dusts his hands, mouthing that "it's over". Page gets Rey back to his feet, but is caught completely off guard when Rey suddenly launches another flurry of offense. Rey hits a series of kicks to the back of DDP's right leg, then takes him off his feet with a trio of arm drag takedowns, and then a headscissor takedown that finally keeps Page down on the mat. Rey then heads to the top rope and hits diving crossbody that scores him a near-fall, and he follows up with a tornado DDT that earns him another near-fall. Sensing that Page is both dazed and confused, Rey slips out onto the apron of the ring, lining DDP up for his Springboard Hurricanrana. Page turns around on wobbly legs, Rey leaps, looking for the Hurricanrana...but Page catches him and drives him into the mat with a nasty powerbomb--and Page holds on, pinning Rey's shoulders to the mat and grabbing himself a handful of tights in the process...1...2...3!!! DDP just stole the United States Championship here at Starrcade! Diamond Dallas Page defeated Rey Misterio Jr. at 13.04 by pinfall by reversing the Springboard Hurricanrana into a powerbomb, then grabbing the tights during the pin. Diamond Dallas Page wins the WCW United States Championship (B+) DDP quickly collects the United States Championship title belt after the match, and then he makes his way back up the entrance ramp while the reality of what just happened is fully dawning on Rey Misterio Jr. in the ring. Rey is shaking his head in disbelief as Tony Schiavone drives home the point that DDP just screwed Rey Misterio Jr. over at the biggest event of the year. </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> We cut to a video detailing the events that has led us to where we are tonight between Booker T and Kevin Nash. The video shows us footage of Nash and Booker working together against the Steiner Brothers, but quickly transitions to Nash first failing to come to Booker T's rescue following a tag team match on Nitro, and then Nash outright turning on Booker T the following week but ambushing him and then leaving him to the mercy of the Steiner Brothers. We see footage of Nash and Booker fighting it out over the past several weeks on Nitro. We see Nash hitting the Jackknife Powerbomb on Booker T, and we see Booker T always coming back for more no matter how many times Nash has tried to ambush him. The video comes to an end with footage from this past Monday Nitro where the main event ended in chaos with a double countout, focusing of course on the brawl that took place between Nash and Booker halfway up the ramp.

Bobby Heenan thinks that Booker T must be crazy to try to trade punches with Nash, which would probably normally hold true, but Booker is not only holding his own--he's actually winning the exchange as he drives Nash into the ropes. Booker then goes for the irish whip, Nash reverses, and then hits a big boot on Booker, taking Booker off his feet and buying himself some time to recover from Booker's early onslaught. The match spills out of the ring where "Big Sexy" takes advantage by the environment by sending Booker back-first into the guard rail, then bouncing his head off the apron of the ring. Back in the ring, Nash hits a big sidewalk slam and goes for the first cover of the match, but Booker kicks out at two. Nash then goes for the snake eyes, but Booker is able to slip out the back and Nash turns around right into a harlem sidekick. The match goes back and forth for the next several minutes, and both men pick up a couple of near-falls during this stretch of the match. After working Booker T over in the corner with a mix of elbow shots and knee strikes, Nash positions Booker on the middle rope and follows up with a leapfrog body guillotine. Booker staggers back to his feet and he walks right into another big time sidewalk slam. Nash covers, but Booker kicks out at two-and-a-half. Nash gets back to his feet and the straps come down as "Big Sexy" is looking to put this one away. Pulling Booker to his feet as well, Nash sends Booker into the ropes, looking to score with the big boot again, but Booker ducks the boot, kicks Nash in the midsection and HITS THE AXE KICK!!! Booker slowly makes the cover and... 1... 2... ...NOO!! Nash manages to get his shoulder up before the count of three. Both men are slow to get to their feet, and when they do it's Nash who manages to drive a knee into the midsection of Booker T. Nash then sets up for the Jackknife Powerbomb and he does manage to get Booker up, but Booker fires off a flurry of punches that forces Nash to abandon the move. Booker lands on his feet, ducks a wild right from "Big Sexy" and hits a harlem sidekick. Sensing his opportunity, Booker quickly gets Nash back to his feet and....BOOKEND! Booker got all of it, and he covers Nash as quickly as his weary body allows him to. 1... 2... ...3!!!!

It is a fairly recent issue that began when Scott Steiner become the number one contender to the World Hevyweight Championship after winning a three way dance at Mayhem, but in the weeks between Mayhem and tonight, "Big Poppa Pump" has put the World Champion in the Steiner Recliner on more than one occasion, and it seems that Steiner has had Sting's number. We see footage of the beatdowns that Sting has suffered at the hands of Scott Steiner, as well as his brother Rick's, and as we end the video with footage from this past week's edition of Monday Nitro where the main event ended in a wild brawl, this one obviously focusing on the brawl between Sting and Scott Steiner.

Gene notes that the main event is coming up momentarily, and then he starts to ask Scott a question, but Scott completely takes over and just cuts a promo on his own, saying that tonight the World Title is comin' home with "The Big Bad Booty Daddy" and after he's done breaking Sting in half, he'll be doing the same thing to all his freaks here in Georgia all night long! As the Steiner Brothers and Midajah walk off toward the entrance area, Gene sends us back to ringside for our main event of the evening.

As Scott and company make their way to the ring, Tony, Mike and Bobby talk about the fact that no one has been more dominant than Scott Steiner over the last several months, and the question remains whether anyone can stop "Big Poppa Pump". Mike Tenay notes that Sting has seemingly been on the defensive so far against Scott, but if all of his years of experience has taught him anything, it is to never count Sting out. Bobby Heenan acknowledges that Sting is one of the greatest of all time, and that he's been a great champion, but he doesn't see anybody--not even Sting--beating Scott Steiner when Scott's at the top of his game, which he has been for a long time now. <iframe width="200" height="200" src="<a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dvHPyfSLA_Q" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/dvHPyfSLA_Q"</a> frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> <img alt="7PSSM69.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7PSSM69.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Seek and Destroy" hits to bring out the World Champion, who receives a standing ovation from the sold-out crowd. As Sting makes his way to the ring, showing no signs of hesitation whatsoever, Tony Schiavone points out that nobody has been better at beating the odds throughout his career than Sting, bringing up the glory days of WCW (though he obviously doesn't call them that) when Sting was WCW's only hope against the nWo. Mike Tenay agrees, saying that if anybody can beat Scott Steiner right now, it would probably be Sting. But how much damage has the attacks by Scott Steiner over these last several weeks done to Sting? Once in the ring, Sting howls at the crowd, who respond in kind, and we are about ready to get things started here. WCW World Heavyweight Championship <img alt="Sk5LgZj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Sk5LgZj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="7PSSM69.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7PSSM69.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="aiJ3oYx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aiJ3oYx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />w/<img alt="e0KbmYl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/e0KbmYl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ijZDMft.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ijZDMft.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As soon as the bell rings Scott Steiner charges across the ring, forces Sting into the corner and starts going to work with some brutal punches that puts the Champion on the defensive right from the get-go. Steiner hits a trio of Steinerlines, but every time Sting gets back up to his feet--that is, until Scott takes him down with a belly to belly suplex. Scott appears to be going for an early cover, but instead he rolls off Sting and starts doing push-ups, telling the referee that he'll tell him when to count. Steiner remains in control for the next several minutes, looking every bit as dominant tonight as he has been for the past several months. As the fans rally behind Sting, the Champion tries to mount a comeback, stinging together a series of punches and kicks, but Sting gets too close to the ropes and Rick Steiner grabs hold of his leg from outside, distracting Sting and allowing Scott to regain control as he grabs Sting from behind and plants him with a release german suplex. The referee issues a warning to "The Dog-faced Gremlin" about getting involved in the match, but while he is doing so, Scott is hammering Sting with punches to the head in the ring, prompting Tony Schiavone to complain loudly that this wasn't supposed to be a handicap match yet that is exactly what it is turning into. Sting is finally able to get some offense in after he ducks two Steinerline attempts by Scott, then catches him with a standing dropkick. Sting hits another dropkick as Scott gets back to his feet, and then he follows it up with an inverted atomic drop before slamming Steiner face-first into the mat with a one handed bulldog. Scott rolls out of the ring to regroup with his brother, but Sting vaults himself over the top rope to take out both Steiner Brothers with a diving crossbody! Sting gets Scott back in the ring and goes for the cover, but Steiner is able to kick out at two. Sting howls at the ring and then he goes for the Scorpion Deathlock, which immediately brings Midajah up on the apron to grab the referee's attention while Rick Steiner enters the ring and clobbers Sting from behind. Rick rolls back out of the ring and Scott regains control by hitting various suplexes, at times almost making the Champion look like a rag doll as he gets thrown around the ring, making both Tony and Mike wonder how long Sting will be able to take this kind of punishment. "Not long" Bobby Heenan concludes, but Sting isn't done just yet as he unloads on Steiner with a series of punches, but when he bounces himself off the ropes he ends up running right into another belly to belly suplex from "Big Poppa Pump". Scott covers, but Sting still has enough left in the tank to kick out after two. We are getting deep into the match now and even though Steiner has been in control for most it of, he has been unable to put Sting away and the frustration is starting to get to him as he is arguing with, and yelling at, the referee far more frequently. Scott finally tells the referee to shut the hell up and do his job, and then he looks to apply the Steiner Recliner...but Sting is ready for him and he catches him by surprise with an inside cradle... 1... 2... ...NO!!! Scott kicks out at two-and-a-half. Scott is furious as he gets back to his feet, but Sting beats him to the punch with a pair of inverted atomic drops and a neckbreaker. Once again, Midajah draws the referee's attention, allowing Rick Steiner to get involved in the match. "The Dog-faced Gremlin" charges at Sting, but Sting ducks, spins and clotheslines Rick over the top rope and out of the ring! While the referee is busy sending Rick to the back after getting involved in the match again, Midajah slips the lead pipe to Scott and then she enters the ring to get Sting's attention. It works, or so it seems, but when Scott tries to ambush Sting, Sting is more than ready for him, blocking the pipe and laying into Steiner with some right hands. Midajah picks up the lead pipe and it looks like she is planning to hit Sting with it, but Sting moves out of the way and Midajah almost ends up nailing Steiner with it, though she is able to stop herself just short of doing so. The whole thing provides a momentary distraction for Scott, however, as he realizes how close he was to just getting hit by his own weapon, and Sting takes advantage of the moment as he suddenly grabs Scott from behind and...SCORPION DEATHDROP!!! Sting goes for the cover and... 1... 2... ....NOO!!!! Scott is just barely able to get his shoulder off the mat before the three count, prompting Mike Tenay to wonder what it takes to beat "Big Poppa Pump". Wasting no time, despite the fact that he is clearly running on empty in this grueling match, Sting gets Steiner back to his feet and hits a second Scorpion Deathdrop! Sting goes for the cover again and... 1... 2... ....NOO!!! Steiner is able to kick out again! The disbelief is clear on Sting's face, but he gets Steiner back to his feet hits a THIRD SCORPION DEATHDROP! Surely this time... 1... 2... ....3!! This time, finally, Scott Steiner's shoulders stay down for the count and the man called Sting is victorious at Starrcade! Sting defeated Scott Steiner at 17.33 by pinfall after hitting no less than three Scorpion Deathdrops. Sting retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship (B) And with a shot of Sting raising the World Heavyweight Championship title belt high above his head, the biggest event of the year, Starrcade 2001, comes to an end. </div></div></blockquote> Final Show Rating: B PPV Buyrate: 0.20 (83.792 buys) Show increased popularity in 11 regions

During his match with "The Cat", it was obvious that Ric Flair was not giving it his all in the ring and that he was, by and large, "phoning it in". The match was still decent, all things considered, but considering it was supposed to be the big payoff in what has been a lengthy feud between the two, management was said to be less than thrilled with Flair's antics during the match. Flair had been unhappy ever since he was asked to lose to Rey Misterio Jr. earlier this year, but it seemed that the situation was under control until Flair's sudden and surprising actions at Starrcade, which caught management by surprise. In other news, the so called "End Of The Year" awards have been handed out--sadly without a single honor going to World Championship Wrestling. The awards went as follows; Wrestler Of The Year: Steve Austin Company Of The Year: WWF Tag Team Of The Year: The Two Man Power Trip Match Of The Year: The Rock vs. Funaki from a ramdom edition of Smackdown Show Of The Year: WWF King Of The Ring (the major matches of the show being Steve Austin retaining the WWF World Heavyweight Championship in a three way dance against Edge and Eddie Guerrero.

Closely followed by Satyr24 with 32 hits

And Beejus takes third place with 29 hits

So Crackerjack takes home the win and the main prize, though minor prizes will be sent out to Satyr24 and Beejus as well. You can expect to receive them soon.

Also, after a bit of time away from this, I'm back and the card for the first Nitro of 2002 will be going up momentarily.

Edit: Forgot to add the Starrcade bonus question answers:

Highest rated match of the night was Booker T vs. Kevin Nash

Lowest rated match of the night was Chris Kanyon vs. Bam Bam Bigelow

Longest match of the night was Jeff Jarrett vs. Randy Savage

Shortest match of the night was Chris Kanyon and Bam Bam Bigelow

And "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan did not find a tag team partner in time

Beejus · August 24, 2018

I really liked Starrcade! The stage seems set for some changes to the dynamic of WCW now that you've reached 2002, but the first one I can see coming is Jeff Jarrett going after Sting again. Now that he has retiring Randy out of the way, it only seems right.

DDP

Ernest Miller - Kind of a way to thank him for putting up with Ric's antics at Starrcade.

Stasiak and Jindrak - They took a big loss at Starrcade, this should help put the Invaders back on the map again.

Cash - Cash cheating to win here could give him a new feud against Billy.

Once the boos fade out, Bischoff wishes everyone a happy new year, then says that while 2001 was by and large a good year after WCW was saved, 2002 is going to be an even better year. Bischoff says that one year ago everyone was sure that WCW was going out of business by the end of the year at the latest, but look at the company now; Starrcade was a huge success, and WCW is once again the place to be in the world of professional wrestling. Bischoff vows that WCW will only go from strength to strength in 2002, starting tonight with the very first show of the year. And speaking of the future, Bischoff then brings out someone he calls one of the stars of WCW's future; Lance Storm! <img alt="IJIxeY2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IJIxeY2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As Lance Storm makes his way out from the back, Tony Schiavone quickly introduces the show and recaps the events that went down between Bischoff and Storm at Starrcade, with the two seemingly joining forces following a handshake, and Tony speculates that we'll find out what that was all about in a few moments. Storm joins Bischoff in the ring, gets on the mic and... "If I can be serious for a minute..." Storm begins by running down America as usual, but then adds that he entered into the agreement he did with Eric Bischoff hoping that Bischoff will prove to be the exception to the rule when it comes to Americans in general. This draws more boos from the crowd, and a distusted looking Storm is about to continue, but then he is suddenly interrupted by... (B) <img alt="xeqPtl1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xeqPtl1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Dustin Rhodes, who makes his way to the ring to a decent reaction from the crowd. Rhodes says that Storm isn't the only one around here who is looking for an opportunity, and while Rhodes wants nothing to do with any sort of alliance with Eric Bischoff, he does want Storm in the ring one on one to see if he's really as good as he thinks he is. Rhodes says that Storm clearly has issues with this country, but Rhodes is as American as you can get, which means that Storm must have a problem with him as well. Things get tense, but then Eric Bischoff steps in and tells Rhodes to back off and that he'll get his chance to prove himself just like everybody else will on the level playing field that is WCW. Bischoff then tells Rhodes to go get ready because he's got a match coming up later tonight! As Rhodes slowly leaves the ring, Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan hype up the fact that it looks like 2002 is going to be the year of opportunity for everyone in WCW.

Chavo says that while 2001 ended on a high note for him, 2002 is going to be his year--just like 2003, 2004, 2005 and so on and so on because Chavo Guerrero is finally-- <img alt="TqDQ0Kz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TqDQ0Kz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="YJdjdt3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YJdjdt3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> and that's when Billy Kidman, the former Cruiserweight Champion, and Torrie Wilson walk up to Chavo and Gene. Kidman says that what Chavo was saying sounded impressive, but he's forgetting one thing; he never beat him for the title--and every time they have faced one on one...Chavo has lost. This sours Chavo's mood considerably, but he eventually brushes it off, saying that Kidman is just jealous because he knows he is the past and Chavo Guerrero is the future. Kidman says that they'll see about that, reminding Chavo that he's got a guaranteed rematch coming up at Sin. Kidman and Torrie then walk off, leaving the new Cruiserweight Champion fuming. © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="wZXuh2C.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wZXuh2C.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wsZRuyw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wsZRuyw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="SvNacxY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/SvNacxY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7bFbOrf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7bFbOrf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The first match of 2002 features two teams who were unsuccessful at Starrcade as The Mamalukes square off against Shawn Stasiak and Mark Jindrak. Tony and Mike are both surprised that Mike Sanders isn't accompanying Jindrak and Stasiak tonight, but the action in the ring soon distracts them from that fact. This is a decent back and forth match between two teams who could easily play a big part in the tag team division in the coming year, but in the end it is Jindrak and Stasiak who rebound from their loss at Starrcade with a victory here tonight as Jindrak hits the Mark Of Perfection on Big Vito and secures the three count as Johnny The Bull is a split second too late in breaking up the pin attempt. Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak defeated The Mamalukes at 9.53 by pinfall when Jindrak pinned Vito following a Mark Of Perfection (C-) </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="DQd8EOs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DQd8EOs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9KBcilD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9KBcilD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "Mean" Gene Okerlund is hard at work tonight, as usual, and this time he is backstage with The Jung Dragons.

Billy Kidman defeated Cash at 2.31 by disqualification when Juventud Guerrera attacked Kidman (C-) The bell rings but Juvi couldn't care less as he finishes off his attack on Kidman by hitting the Juvi Driver. Juventud then quickly escapes the ring before Cash and Big Smooth can get their hands on him, both clearly unhappy that Juvi just cost Cash the match. </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Once the ring has cleared out, "Mean" Gene Okerlund makes his way down and he brings out the new WCW Tag Team Champions, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo. <img alt="rxMZSbm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rxMZSbm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1S9VfKR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1S9VfKR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> O'Haire and Palumbo join Gene in the ring with their newly won Tag Team Titles strapped arond their waists, and Gene congratulates them on their big win.

Scott gets on the mic and wastes no time demanding a rematch, telling Sting to get his punk ass out here right now because they both know that he just got lucky at Starrcade and that "The Big Bad Booty Daddy" is the greatest wrestler in the world. Scott tells Sting to bring his ass down there and accept his challenge--or better yet, just hand the title over right now and be done with it! <img alt="9umPviH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9umPviH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="epiwJ9r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/epiwJ9r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tjPJopW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tjPJopW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This brings out not the World Champion, but rather "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett, who brings his own backup to the ring in the form of Totally Buff. Jarrett says that Scott needs to hold up because he got his shot at Starrcade and now it's time for "The Chosen One" to get his shot. Jarrett reminds everyone that he retired the "Macho Man" Randy Savage at Starrcade, which naturally draws a ton of boos for Jarrett on the night of Savage's retirement, and Jarrett says that if anyone deserves a shot at the World Title--it's him.

Booker says that Jarrett isn't the only one who picked up a big win at Starrcade. Booker says that Scott got his shot, Jarrett got his shot at Mayhem, so now it's time for Booker T to get his shot because he's the one who deserves it.

We've got a huge World Title match set for Sin; Sting versus Scott Steiner versus Jeff Jarrett versus Booker T!

Sting turns to the camera and says that it seems that he survived Starrcade just to get an even bigger bullseye painted on his back for Sin. But that's okay, he wouldn't want it any other way. Sting says that you can learn a lot about a man from the way he carries himself, and what he just saw in the ring confirmed what he already knew; Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett, for all their big talk, still rely on their allies to help them get the job done. But Booker T...Sting says that Booker T is a real champion even when he isn't carrying gold because Booker doesn't rely on anyone else to help him--he does it all by himself, which is something Sting both relates to and respects. Sting finishes his promo by saying that it's going to be SHOWTIME at Sin!

This is a good match that sees Helms and Knoble rely on their speed and quickness to give Kanyon and Awesome a run for their money. But despite a nice flurry of offense and a decent fight altogether from Helms and Knoble, Kanyon and Awesome take control of the match and they pick up the win after Kanyon hits the Kanyon Kutter on Jamie Knoble to secure the pinfall victory. Chris Kanyon and Mike Awesome defeated Shane Helms and Jamie Knoble at 5.06 by pinfall when Kanyon pinned Knoble following a Kanyon Kutter (B-) <img alt="lPwVnNo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lPwVnNo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Bam Bam Bigelow hits the ring after the match and attacks both Kanyon and Awesome as Tony Schiavone reminds everyone that Kanyon defeated Bigelow at Starrcade with A LOT of help from Mike Awesome. Bigelow looks good for a bit, but the two on one disadvantage soon catches up to him and pretty soon he ends up getting beaten down, with Kanyon finishing off the attack by hitting the Kanyon Kutter on the man who was once his tag team partner. Tony puts over the courage of Bam Bam, but adds that as much heart as Bigelow has, he simply can't deal with both Kanyon and Awesome on his own. © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="t5bgsE2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/t5bgsE2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />w/<img alt="GQpaxEc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GQpaxEc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="xeqPtl1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xeqPtl1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "The Cat" Ernest Miller is Dustin Rhodes's opponent tonight, as handpicked by Eric Bischoff after Rhodes interrupted Lance Storm earlier tonight. "The Cat" may have been unsuccessful against "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair at Starrcade, but he looks ready to redeem himself here tonight as he and Rhodes have a solid match that goes back and forth throughout. Both men secure a near-fall along the way, but in the end it is some outside interference that ends up deciding the match as... <img alt="IJIxeY2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IJIxeY2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Lance Storm makes his way down to the ring, and while Miss Jones has the referee distracted, Storm enters the ring and drops Rhodes with a superkick.

"The Cat" defeated Dustin Rhodes at 9.28 by pinfall when "The Cat" pinned Rhodes following a Feliner after Lance Storm got involved (C+) As Lance Storm makes his way back up the ramp and "The Cat" and Miss Jones are celebrating in the ring, Tony and Mike are both outraged by Storm's actions here, adding that now we all know how much Eric Bischoff's so called "level playing field" is really worth--which is absolutely nothing because Bischoff is still playing favorites, just like he always does. </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> We swing by the announce table where Tony Schiavone, Mike Tenay and Bobby Heenan remind everyone that we still have two huge events coming up tonight on Nitro; Diamond Dallas Page defends the United States Championship against Konnan, and on a sadder note, the retirement speech from "Macho Man" Randy Savage, whose career ended at Starrcade at the hands of Jeff Jarrett.

Once in the ring, Nash announces that "Big Sexy is in da house!" Nash says that as far as he's concerned, Eric Bischoff needs to reconsider his booking for Sin because he overlooked one very big, very sexy challenger who should be included in the World Title match. Nash says that he is still the biggest, baddest man in WCW and he should-- <img alt="zah6nFe.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zah6nFe.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> And that's when the music of "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair plays to bring Flair out from the back to stand at the top of the entrance ramp. Flair asks if Nash is kidding? Not only did Nash lose to Booker T at Starrcade, but Flair adds that he has more talent in his pinky than Nash does in his entire body. Nash just wiggles his fingers at Flair, mocking him, but Flair says that if Nash thinks he's gonna get another shot at the title. he'll have to go through Flair to get it! Nash warns "Slick Ric" about what happened to Old Yeller, telling Flair that he's messing with the wrong man, but Flair tells Nash to shut up and prove it in the ring at Sin instead! It looks like we've got another huge match added to the card at Sin!

This is a good match that sees DDP stall for time early on, then blindsiding Konnan the first chance he gets. Konnan is able to fight back though, and he nearly manages to apply the Ziplock on the US Champion, who just barely manages to escape. That is as close as Konnan gets, however, as DDP takes control of the match again. Konnan does mount another spirited comeback, but then... <img alt="KZ3THeU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KZ3THeU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Mike Sanders, the man Konnan forced to submit at Starrcade, suddenly makes his way down to ringside and he jumps up on the apron to get Konnan's attention. Konnan takes a swing at Sanders, who jumps down from the apron just in time, but the distracted is all DDP needs to catch Konnan with the Diamond Cutter and this one is history. Diamond Dallas Page defeated Konnan at 10.57 by pinfall following a Diamond Cutter after Mike Sanders distracted Konnan.

The crowd are on their feet for Savage, who says that even knowing what he knows now, he wouldn't change a single thing about his return because he came back on his terms, and he went out on his terms--fighting for one more shot at the World Championship. Savage says that he doesn't regret a thing, that his last run here in WCW since coming back has been all worth it, and as he stands here in the middle of the ring, his career coming to an end, he can look back on it all and know that the "Macho Man" can look at himself in the mirror and know that he did things his way, he never backed down, and he went out swinging. Savage then thanks the crowd and the fans all over the world who have supported him throughout his career, and Monday Nitro comes to a bittersweet end with the fans giving a standing ovation to the one and only "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

Okay, Nitro is up and the next card will be posted soon as well. As for prediction prizes, I'm expecting them to go out very soon as well. Hope everyone enjoys the first Nitro of 2002!

Henderson · September 3, 2018

Good show and I was hoping Savage's retirement was going to be some sort of swerve or angle. I'm interested in seeing how the main event of Sin goes and hoping that Sting keeps the title for a little longer, but it probably is getting to be Booker's time.

I really like this teaming of Eric and Storm, though it looks like perhaps Bischoff has just moved on from Jarrett and Totally Buff? The fatal four way at Sin sounds like it should be really good though, not sure if Sting is going to be able to keep going through those odds but I hope he can keep on hanging on!

This is a good match between two men who are both looking to make 2002 their year, and that desire shows here as they go back and forth in what is a very competitive match. Still, only one man can pick up the win and that man ends up being Dustin Rhodes, who pins "The Franchise" after connecting with a Running Bulldog as he bounces back with a win after losing to "The Cat" last week on Nitro thanks to Lance Storm. Dustin Rhodes defeated Shane Douglas at 9.43 by pinfall with a Running Bulldog (B-) Having won the match, Dustin Rhodes gets on the mic and calls out Lance Storm and Eric Bischoff, saying that he's got a few words for them about Storm's cowardly sneak attack last week. <img alt="sSiM1MW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/sSiM1MW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> A smirking Eric Bischoff makes his way out from the back and he arrogantly reminds Rhodes that he doesn't call the shots around here, Bischoff does. Bischoff adds that Lance Storm isn't coming out here just because Rhodes wants him to. But if Rhodes didn't get enough of a fight just now against Shane Douglas, maybe he'll find his next opponents a bit more... challenging...Bischoff is then all smiles as... <img alt="epiwJ9r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/epiwJ9r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tjPJopW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tjPJopW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Totally Buff make their way out from the back to flank the owner of WCW. Bischoff's smile grows as he sends Luger and Bagwell to the ring as Tony Schiavone hypes up the fact that it looks like Dustin Rhodes is booked in another match right now! (B-) <img alt="xeqPtl1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xeqPtl1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />vs.<img alt="epiwJ9r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/epiwJ9r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tjPJopW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tjPJopW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Tony and Mike both make their feelings known here, calling is unfair and utterly ridiculous that Rhodes not only has to compete in another match after already having faced Shane Douglas, but it's also a two on one handicap match against the former Tag Team Champions. Bobby Heenan shoots that down, however, saying that maybe Dustin Rhodes should learn to show some respect to the owner of the company. The match is very one-sided as Luger and Bagwell take advantage of the fact that Rhodes has already competed once, and that in a very competitive matchup. But Rhodes doesn't go down without a fight, and he keeps swinging and fighting back until Buff Bagwell connects with the Buff Blockbuster to pick up the win. Totally Buff defeated Dustin Rhodes at 3.54 by pinfall when Bagwell pinned Rhodes following a Buff Blockbuster (C-) <img alt="IJIxeY2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IJIxeY2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Lance Storm makes his way to the ring after the match, and he grabs a mic and tells Dustin, who is still down on the floor of the ring, that he should consider himself lucky that Luger and Bagwell took care of him because if it had been left up to Storm the beating would have been a lot worse. Luger and Bagwell both encourage Storm to get some shots of his own in on Rhodes as well, but before Storm can make a decision one way or another... <img alt="rxMZSbm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rxMZSbm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1S9VfKR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1S9VfKR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The WCW Tag Team Champions, Sean O'Haire and Chuck Palumbo, hit the ring to make the save as their mere presence in the ring puts Storm, Luger and Bagwell on the retreat.

Flair tells Gene that he couldn't believe the arrogance shown by Nash last week, coming out to the ring and thinking that he should just be handed a World Title shot. Flair says that that is just like Nash, though. He says that Nash's entire career has been him getting things handed to him because of who his friends were, but Flair says that he's not gonna stand by and let Nash scam him way into another World Title shot as long as he's around. Flair reminds Gene that to be the man you gotta beat the man, and Flair challenges Nash to try and do exactly that at Sin--if he actually has the guts!

It is a match of contrasting styles as KroniK try to dominate by using their power and strength, while the Dragons attempt to counter that with speed and quickness. <img alt="O9mmnFa.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/O9mmnFa.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> After a few minutes of action, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan makes his way down to ringside, immediately serving as a distraction for the Dragons even if all he does is simply stand there. The distraction allows KroniK to take control of the match and they ultimately pick up the win after hitting their High Times double choke slam finisher on Kaz, which earns them the one-two-three. KroniK defeated the Jung Dragons at 6.01 by pinfall when Clark pinned Kaz following a High Times © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="aiJ3oYx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aiJ3oYx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="e0KbmYl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/e0KbmYl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ijZDMft.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ijZDMft.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9umPviH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9umPviH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> In the back, "The Chosen One" Jeff Jarrett is seen entering the locker room of "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner where Scott is doing push-ups while Rick and Midajah are busying themselves with various things in the background. Scott asks what the hell Jarrett wants, and Jarrett says that even though they'll be enemies at Sin, they've got every reason in the world to work together tonight against Sting and Booker T. Scott scoffs at the notion that he needs Jarrett's help to be successful tonight, but Jarrett says that as big and bad as Scotty is, even he can't take on both Sting and Booker T and expect to be successful. Jarrett says that since they'll both be challenging for the World Title at Sin, they could make things a lot easier on themselves by taking out either Sting or Booker tonight--or even both--and just make it a straight up singles match between the two of them at Sin. Scott finally seems to come around to Jarrett's way of thinking, and it appears that the two of them are on the same page--at least for tonight.

Sanders says that Starrcade was supposed to be their big moment, but it was all ruined by Konnan and so he decided to return the favor on Nitro. <img alt="v4ps6Ig.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/v4ps6Ig.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Konnan is out from the back and he doesn't look too happy as he stands at the top of the entrance ramp. Konnan says that since Sanders seems to have a problem with him, and he sure as hell has got a problem with Sanders, why don't they settle it in the ring at Sin? Sanders asks Konnan if he is seriously stupid enough to challenge him to a match? Sanders then accepts the challenge, telling Konnan that it's his funeral.

This is not as one-sided a match as one might have thought, mostly because Chavo, "The Cat" and Cash are horrible at working together as all three men want to be the star of the match. This gives plenty of opportunities for their opponents to fight back, and Chavo even falls victim to the Big Wiggle from Norman Smiley at one point. Still, in the end it is "The Cat", Chavo and Cash who pick up the win when "The Cat" hits the Feliner on Lash Leroux, which is more than enough for the one-two-three. "The Cat", Chavo Guerrero and Cash defeated Lash Leroux, Alex Wright and Norman Smiley at 7.08 by pinfall when "The Cat" pinned Leroux following a Feliner © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> <img alt="Z1DlA0N.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Z1DlA0N.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="lPwVnNo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lPwVnNo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> After the match we head to the back where "Mean" Gene Okerlund is with Bam Bam Bigelow, and Gene asks Bam Bam about his ongoing issues with Chris Kanyon. Bam Bam says that if Kanyon thinks he's done with him after the attack last week then he's got another thing coming. Bigelow then issues a challenge; he wants Kanyon and Mike Awesome in the ring for a fight at Sin. But he doesn't just want it to be a regular match--he wants it to be a Hardcore match!! Gene asks if Bam Bam is seriously challenging both Kanyon and Awesome to a handicap match at Sin, but Bigelow says that, no, not a handicap match...a tag team match. Before Gene can ask his next question... <img alt="waG19mm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/waG19mm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Gc4aCsx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Gc4aCsx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dNLwm1L.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dNLwm1L.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Bigelow is suddenly jumped by both Chris Kanyon and Mike Awesome, who beat him down as Bam Bam once again falls victim to the numbers game. Stacy Keibler then tells Bigelow that they accept his challenge for a match at Sin, if only to do away with him once and for all.

This is a very fast-paced, back and forth matchup that can seemingly go either way as both men look good here. The announcers spend some time talking about Juventud's attack on Billy Kidman last week and wondering what that was all about. Speaking of Billy Kidman... <img alt="TqDQ0Kz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TqDQ0Kz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="YJdjdt3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YJdjdt3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The former Cruiserweight Champion makes his way down to ringside to distract Juventud. While Juvi and Kidman exchange words, "Sugar" Shane is able to catch Juvi by surprise and a few moments later Juventud falls victim to the Vertebreaker. Helms covers and picks up a huge win, spoiling Juventud's in-ring Nitro return in the process. Shane Helms defeated Juventud Guerrera at 5.25 by pinfall with a Vertebreaker following a distraction by Billy Kidman © </div></div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44117" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"> It is almost main event time but first we swing by the announce table one last time where Tony, Mike and Bobby hype up the main event, saying that Sting survived at Starrcade, but he is looking at one heck of a challenge at Sin with Booker T, Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett all challenging for the World Championship, but first he has to survive tonight when he teams up with Booker T to take on Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett. After a bit more last-minute hype, Tony finally sends us back to ringside for our main event of the evening.

All four men get plenty of opportunity to shine here, and in addition to calling the action in the ring, the announcers spend a good amount of time talking about Sin and the World Title match. The match goes back and forth with neither side able to gain a clear advantage until... <img alt="e0KbmYl.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/e0KbmYl.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> "The Dog-faced Gremlin" Rick Steiner makes his presence felt as he comes through the crowd to blast Sting with Scott's lead pipe outside the ring while the referee was distracted by Midajah. Scott gets Sting back in the ring and covers him while Jarrett and Booker are fighting outside the ring, but the crowd erupts with cheers as Sting kicks out just before the three count. Outside the ring, Booker hits a snake eyes on Jarrett, with Jarrett landing chest-first on the guard rail. Booker then rolls into the ring behind Scott Steiner, sizing him up for the Bookend and....and that's when Rick Steiner nails Booker from behind, causing the match to end with a disqualification as Rick saves his brother from tasting the Bookend. Sting and Booker T defeated Scott Steiner and Jeff Jarrett at 15.05 by disqualification when Rick Steiner got involved (B) The match may be over, but the attack continues as Sting and Booker T are attacked and beaten down by Jeff Jarrett and the Steiner Brothers. <img alt="epiwJ9r.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/epiwJ9r.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tjPJopW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tjPJopW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Totally Buff hit the ring to help Jarrett as well, making the odds even worse for Sting and Booker, who continue to get beaten down as Monday Nitro comes to an end.

The fatal four way at Sin sounds like it should be really good though, not sure if Sting is going to be able to keep going through those odds but I hope he can keep on hanging on! </div></blockquote> For now the plan is for Bischoff to remain with The Chosen Ones while also being in Storm's corner, as seen on Nitro. As for how that plays out long-term...stay tuned <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />
