I've been watching WCW Nitro from the beginning along with the PPV's as they go through the show's history. I just finished Starcade '95 last night, and oh my god, what a piece of shit that PPV was.

First off, about 80% of the card is this stupid "World Cup of Wrestling" that pitted WCW against NJPW. There was little build-up in the Nitro episodes preceding Starcade, and the outcome was obvious to predict.

Whoever thought up the first part of the Main Event needs their head examined. There was a triple threat match to determine who would face champion Randy Savage in a title match which would take place right after the Triple Threat Match. Fine, whatever, but the triple threat match was complete garbage. One man had to always be out of the ring, and be tagged in to participate in the match. These rules made little sense because why would you ever tag yourself out of a match that you would have zero chance of winning if you were not the legal man?

I also read this interesting tidbit on wikipedia this morning about the event:
