Let's not mince words, 1993 was a TERRIBLE year for WCW, but as the year drew to a close they had a tremendous oppurtunity to turn things around....STARRCADE 1993! The main event was supposed to be Vader vs Sid, and the show was even advertised as such. However, at the last minute a drunk Arn Anderson attacked Sid, and so Ric Flair was substituted, thus guaranteeing a boring show. Elsewhere, Steve Austin's moment of glory is ruined by the lights going out (really), The British Bulldog-Rick Rude International Title Match becomes Rude-Bossman five minutes beforehand, Steve Regal and Rick Steamboat bore the fans, and the Tag Title Match is endless, and not in a good way. This show COULD have been a major step forward for WCW, but as usual they blew it.
