The first Starrcade I ever watched LIVE was the 1994 edition featuring Hulk Hogan versus the Butcher AKA Brutus Beefcake. Needless to say I wasn’t all too impressed with the event. This was supposed to be WCW’s biggest show of the year, and all I saw were WWF has-beens like the Nasty Boys, Earthquake, and Jim Duggan. Mr. T was even part of the show—eight years removed from his last in-ring performance. I was really put off by WCW for quite some time, but mustered the resilience required to give them another go.
