Let's Go to the Ring!

Join us monthly as we look through the good old days - and not-so-good old days - of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), series by series, to figure out what makes each of WCW's shows tick. Just what defines Starrcade, and what defines Halloween Havoc? WCW may have gone out of business years ago, but it will never lose its place in wrestling history, and its position as the one true competitor to the WWF may never be replicated. Together, let's take a look through it and enjoy the highs, lows, and strange decisions along the way. Logo art by: Gina Trujillo (http://resuki.com/)

Dusty Rhodes has had some Hard Times since Starrcade '84, but now he's back to take it out on Ric Flair. Will we actually get an honest-to-goodness finish this time? Will the Midnight Express escape a match against Jimmy Valiant with tuxedos intact? (Wait...didn't Jimmy Valiant lose a "Loser Leaves Town" match last time? Again?) Can Manny Fernandez hold on to the sombrero that he so casually tosse...
