This will be intresting to see what all matches they have as theyve made two previous under the wcw name so now well see what wwe claims or calls the best. Thanks Eel .

WWE's idea of the best and all the old WCW fan's ideas of the best Starrcade matches will probably be 2 entirely different entities....

[W-OLF]

I agree with you there for instance 1983 Piper vs Greg Valentine Dog Collar and any Night of the Skywalkers I bet WWE doesnt acknowledge any of it.

Well Hell instead of Editing it If this is the actual info Not bad . Could have more though.

The much anticipated Best of Starrcade, which is to be released in January, 2009, is going to feature both a documentary on the PPV, as well as a countdown of the greatest matches. Below are the details of the DVD:
