Our look back at JCP on TBS in 1986 takes you to the night of the dream matches. For weeks, in January, fans watching World Championship Wrestling were asked to send in postcards of the matches they would like to see on TBS. The result: Superstars on the Superstation. The event was held at the Omni on 02-02-86 and broadcast five days later. It drew a rating of 3.2 and featured such "dream" matches as: Ric Flair vs Ron Garvin for the NWA World Title, the Midnight Express vs the Rock and Roll Express for the NWA World Tag Team Championship, Dusty Rhodes against Tully Blanchard for the National Heavyweight Title and the Road Warriors against Ivan and Nikita Koloff. It's a departure from the weekly Saturday night, 6:05 shows as the 02-01-1986 edition is not available for watch-along. But this has some great action and interviews and a departure from the norm for Jim Crockett Promotions during the wonderful year of 1986.

Starrcade was always WCW's premier event. So, it's obvious Hulk Hogan, Sting, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, Booker T. and the Steiners were all there.  WRONG. All were missing. But. there was Goldberg vs Kevin Nash. And this was the night the streak would end at the hands of "Big Sexy." Was this the biggest turning point in WCW?  Go down "memory lane" with Conrad and Tony as they discuss not only the main event, but also Ric Flair vs Eric Bischoff, DDP vs the Giant and a thrilling three way match featuring Juventud Guerrera, Billy Kidman and Rey Mysterio, Jr. (and then Eddie Guerrero).

It's the Monday Nitro "go-home" show for Starrcade '98, and...well...you could see the paint peeling off the old WCW machine. No Hogan, no Sting, no Macho Man, no Roddy Piper, no Bret Hart. The show did have plenty of star power, though: Goldberg, Hall and Nash, the Giant, Ric Flair, Eric Bischoff, Arn Anderson, Chris Jericho, DDP, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, Jr. and more. The matches were not good, but the Flair interview about Bischoff is worth its weight in gold. Welcome to WCW at the beginning of the three worst weeks in company history. Directly ahead: Goldberg loses, the finger poke of doom, and the butts in the seats fiasco.  Support us on Patreon, get this show early and ad free, plus TONS of BONUS content: patreon.com/WHWMonday Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/WHWMonday Check out all the new cool merchandise at BoxOfGimmicks.com Buy a shirt at LoisRules.com Subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/whw Save thousands at Savewithconrad.com Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a great time in WCW.  It was during the build-up to what would be the company's biggest night:  Starrcade '97, Sting versus Hollywood Hulk Hogan. From a sold out arena in Buffalo, New York, stars like Macho Man Randy Savage, Diamond Dallas Page, Lex Luger, Buff Bagwell, Konnan, Ric Flair, Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash, Eric Bischoff, Dean Malenko and more were all there. As history would prove, Starrcade three weeks later would become quite a controversial event, but the road there would be very exciting.
