Cageside Seats, for Pro Wrestling and MMA fans

After severely screwing up the Hollywood Hogan vs. Sting world heavyweight championship match the night before at Starrcade, WCW made it much, much worse in the rematch the next night on Monday Nitro.

Quite possibly the biggest debacle in the history of WCW took place on this date, when Hollywood Hogan lived up to his name by refusing to job for Sting at the biggest event the company ever held, Starrcade 1997.

Nothing lasts forever but Bill Goldberg's undefeated streak coming to an end at the Starrcade pay-per-view event on this date in WCW history is controversial to this day.

The build to Starrcade 1997 was a magically memorable time in pro wrestling and it came to a "head" on this date in WCW history.

It was the beginning of the end for Bret Hart's professional wrestling career on this date in WCW history, as Goldberg planted him with a head kick that sent him spiraling to the end of his days as an active wrestler.

Bret Hart made his debut on Monday Nitro on this date in WCW history, finally jumping ship from the WWF after the infamous Montreal Screwjob.

What happens when WCW holds a ridiculously silly match involving a scaffold and Jim Cornette is asked to take a huge bump off it? Some seriously blown up knees on this date in history.
