Starrcade 1997 Or Starrcade 1998?

1. Screwy Finish Typical WCW to never allow us to get a big payoff win for the face to win. 2. Kill the momentum of the face All of Goldbergs momentum was sucked out of him in one swell swoop, its amazing how they managed to do that so fast. He spent rest of his

Both matches have alot in common:

1. Screwy Finish
Typical WCW to never allow us to get a big payoff win for the face to win.

2. Kill the momentum of the face
All of Goldbergs momentum was sucked out of him in one swell swoop, its amazing how they managed to do that so fast. He spent rest of his time in weird angles, getting arrested and accused of rape, seriously?

Sting was, without a doubt, the biggest wrestling superstar in 1997, his entrance and the mystery about his gimmick added to that effect. nWo were seen as the strongest stable in wrestling history, and only one man, Stinger, could defeat them.

And it ends with Hogan throwing Sting around like a sack of potato, screwjob finish to beat the weak heel?

3. Milestone in downward spiral.

97 SC was the first blip, the first punch that WCW gave to all their fans, it was a really good punch but many still stuck around hoping their abusive partner would not do it again. 98 SC was the knockout punch that killed the last good thing in WCW (Goldberg), the deathblow.

4. Hall and Bret involved
All respects to both these men, but neither did much in terms of wrestling in WCW, Halls best matches were in WWE, at least he was a part of the nWo. Bret didnt do a damn worthwhile thing in WCW, oh he had some decent matches but no real good feuds or anything. Both involved in a lousy screwjob.

5. Lousy matches
Ok so only Sting could really wrestle out of these 4 guys, but even for them, the matches were terrible, you would think they would put more effort on the biggest show, but no.

Conclusion: Both are similar but 1997 is the more painful one, thats when WCW started its downward spiral they would never recover from, its that night that things went from good to bad. The following angle had the WCW title vacated with poorly written storyline to support it and just a huge damn mess, all steam was lost right here.

If Goldberg had retained against Nash, WCW would still struggle with the ratings at least they would have 1 big star people can cheer

If Sting had won cleanly and decisivly, a nWo "imposion" story could have made serious money, alot of people would see Hogan vs Nash, or Hogan vs Hall.
