The 1997 Starrcade was the 15th annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was held on December 28, 1997, at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. Starrcade became the highest-grossing pay-per-view in WCW history. Despite its success, the event was seen by critics and journalists as the beginning of WCW's downfall due to setting a tone for backstage dissension and what would retrospectively be seen as poor creative decisions going forward.

  • The 1997 Starrcade was the 15th annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). It was held on December 28, 1997, at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C. The matches revolved around the ongoing storyline between WCW and the New World Order (nWo) organization. The main event was between Hollywood Hogan and Sting for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, with Hogan representing the nWo and Sting representing WCW. The match culminated a year-long buildup of their feud. The match ended in controversy over the referee's pinfall count, and their feud continued after the event surrounding this. Other matches included Larry Zbyszko and Eric Bischoff for the control of WCW Monday Nitro, and Curt Hennig and Diamond Dallas Page for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. Starrcade became the highest-grossing pay-per-view in WCW history. Despite its success, the event was seen by critics and journalists as the beginning of WCW's downfall due to setting a tone for backstage dissension and what would retrospectively be seen as poor creative decisions going forward.

  • Starrcade '97 è stata la quindicesima edizione dell'evento in pay-per-view Starrcade, prodotto dalla World Championship Wrestling. L'evento si è svolto il 28 dicembre 1997 al MCI Center di Wahington D.C.. Il main event della serata fu il match tra Hollywood Hogan e Sting con in palio il WCW World Heavyweight Championship, dove Hogan rappresentava l'nWo e Sting la WCW. L'incontro fu il culmine di un lungo feud durato più di un anno. Il match, molto atteso dai fan, terminò in maniera controversa, e la rivalità tra i due continuò anche successivamente. Altri match di rilievo furono Larry Zbyszko contro Eric Bischoff per il controllo di WCW Monday Nitro, e Curt Hennig contro Diamond Dallas Page per il WCW United States Heavyweight Championship. L'evento riscosse molto successo e divenne il pay-per-view con il maggior numero di acquisti nella storia della WCW. Nonostante questo, lo show viene spesso indicato come l'inizio del declino della WCW, a causa dei dissensi nel backstage e della pochezza delle decisioni creative. (it)
