TEW 2016: Rewriting Wrestling Journal Ep: 04 WCW Starrcade 1997

WCW Starrcade 1997 should have been a monumental PPV for the WCW, instead for some crazy reason, they completely wrecked the main event by having Hogan go over Sting in a botched fast count finish that made literally zero sense, crushing the year long momentum leading up to the card. This is the one match that made me want to play this 1997 MOD, so i could rewrite WCW history and do this PPV the justice it deserves.... So, watch the episode to find out how I would book WCW Starrade 1997! Also, here is what happened on the real card 1997: Starrcade 1997 December 28, 1997 in Washington, D.C.
