WCW Starrcade 1990 Review

Episode 378: Starrcade 1990 Gonna be doing Starrcade reviews to end 2025; and I figured 1st up in these is one from 35 years ago. The decade of the 90s began, the 8th annual WCW classic, & once again another gimmick Starrcade. The year prior was a Round Robin Tournament, this time around was an International Tag Team Tournament in memory of former NWA World Champion Pat O'Connor. Also on this show was 3 championships defended in 3 different gimmick matches; a Bullrope Match for the US Title, a Street Fight for the World Tag Titles, & a Steel Cage Match for the World Title. That Steel Cage World Title match, the culmination to one of the worst angles in wrestling history; The Black Scorpion. 14 matches total, from St. Louis' Kiel Auditorium it's Starrcade 1990; and this is my review of the show. 0:00 Starrcade 1990 Statistics 1:09 Bobby Eaton vs. Tom Zenk 1:58 Pat O'Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament Quarterfinals 5:42 Michael Wallstreet vs. Terry Taylor 6:40 The Skycrapers vs. Big Cat & Motor City Madman 7:33 The Freebirds vs. Tommy Rich & Ricky Morton 8:38 Pat O'Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament Semi Finals 9:17 Stan Hansen vs. Lex Luger(Texas Lariat Match for United States Heavyweight Championship) 11:18 Doom vs. The Horsemen(Street Fight for the World Tag Team Championships) 13:12 Pat O'Connor Memorial Tag Team Tournament Finals 14:19 Sting vs. The Black Scorpion(Ric Flair)(Steel Cage Match for the World Heavyweight Championship) 20:25 Starrcade 1990 Recap #WCW #Starrcade #Sting From The Vault Episode Archive: Twitter: Instagram: Facebook: Threads: Subscribe, Like, Comment, Click The Notification Bell Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
