Summary

This is the one that has "stood the test of time." The very first Starrcade from Thanksgiving night 1983. It was before WrestleMania and became the flagship event of Jim Crockett Promotions and then WCW. It was not a Pay Per View event but was broadcast via closed circuit to many arenas in the then Mid-Atlantic area. Ric Flair vs Harley Race was the featured event, but the event had so much more. Including Roddy Piper and Greg Valentine in a Dog Collar Match; Gordon Solie and Bob Caudle on commentary, Abdullah the Butcher, Ricky Steamboat, the Brisco Brothers, Wahoo McDaniel; and then somewhere backstage a young, green Tony Schiavone. It was also the beginning of the run by Dusty Rhodes as booker of Jim Crockett Promotions. You like blood? You like realism? You like vintage pro wrestling?

0:53.1	I don't know if I do anymore, but I do need to say that when I bring up a save cat, there's
0:57.5	a shot of me that looks awfully fat on there. I don't know how that came about. Maybe it's
1:03.3	the way I look, but I do want to remind people that you can stop resting with that. Put

1:15.5	What's funny is, the side-aven says, mortal combat, all of your dead. No more hard way

1:41.5	can make this fast and easy. It can even be the greatest night in the history of our great
1:45.7	sport when you skip your next two house payments. Maybe you can even lower your monthly payments,
1:50.8	which probably would have been helpful when WCW was taking over by Bill Watts and he cut
1:55.0	your pay, right, Tony? Yes. You can cut years off your loan, consolidate your debt, stop
2:00.2	making the minimum payments. Believe you me, that will get you behind and get a greater
2:05.8	tax deduction, Conrad. It's all part of SavedCade.com. What I love about it is you can own your
