32 years ago today, one of the best matches in one of the best feuds in wrestling history happened on a Clash of the Champions

I make a special point of mentioning everywhere I go that it should have been a federal crime to not run a full Vader vs. Dustin Rhodes program through 1995 after their tremendous late 94 Clash match thank you for coming to my TED talk

That's not what the people in white coats tell me but HEY, the opener to Bash at the Beach 97 is one of the best openers in PPV history.

Also if anybody reading this is on twitter, you should follow @DeepCutsWCW, they post a bunch of GIFs from WCW c-side shows and whatnot.

This day in wrestling history: Starrcade 1989 to cap off an absolutely insane WCW year which I'd rate as Flair's best ever

What were they doing for Dustin in 1995...? Oh yeah, firing him for blood on a show literally called UNCENSORED

On this day in 1990, Starrcade took place seeing the culmination of the hilarious Black Scorpion angle

On this day 21 years ago...the last Starrcade

Not counting WWE's house shows

On this day in WCW history, Halloween Havoc 1993 which featured one of my favorite matches in company history in Cactus Jack vs Vader in a Texas Death match. The rest of the show was solid from what I remember too, don't have any vivid memories from these other matches tho but what names lol Rick Rude vs Ric Flair, Sting vs Sid Vicious, Dustin Rhodes vs Steve Austin, Paul Orndorff vs Ricky Steamboat, Lord Steven Regal vs Davey Boy Smith, Nasty Boys vs Marcus Bagwell & 2 Cold Scorpio

Anytime Foley and Vader faced off it was awesome! WCW really didn't know what they had.

On this day in 1999, the Starrcade which featured Goldberg vs Bret Hart which eventually lead to Bret having to retire

I'm sold on the poster alone. I'll give it a watch. But if axes and maces don't feature I'll be very sad indeed.
