Customer Reviews of Starrcade 88
True Gritt I disagree with my South African colleague about his reasons why the NWA/WCW never caught up to the WWF. I'm not going into the reasons why. Anyone can read various books and find out the assorted reasons why WCW failed. My opinion lies strictly in the card. My colleague states that Luger should have been champion and he would have carried the company. I disagree. Luger was heavily pushed due to his physique, and in 1986-7, as a Horseman, he may have been championship ready, but he is clearly not ready for the big time, and like Sting, he failed to be a draw for WCW. Sure, WCW pushed older guys when they should have focused on their younger crew, but Luger has proven that he lacks the tools to draw as a main eventer. Sting was mega-popular, but also failed to draw as champion, and Luger was nowhere near as popular. Luger was pushed for his physique alone, not because of great skill, credibility, or love for this sport. His first championship reign in late 91-early 92 is proof. The bottom line is that Flair may have been slowly getting past his prime in 1988(though that is debateable, based on his great 1989 battles with Funk and Steamboat), but at that time, Flair was the only one credible enough to hold the belt. Always remember that as much as WCW tried to bury Flair, whenever they got into a bind, the belt was always given back to Flair, who being the company man he is, always managed to resuscitate the ailing company he loved. Storylines aside, I have always loved to watch NWA wrestling because of the match quality, which is present here. I only wish I owned this great tape.
Beginning of the end for the Gold Belt
This show is pretty much sums up why the NWA never caught up to the WWF. It was supposed to be the show where Lex Luger defeated Ric Flair to win the NWA Title and take the promotion into the New Era. However, Flair pulled a backstage power play, and not only got the win, but also got Dusty Rhodes fired, and Luger de-pushed. The rest of the card is superfluous really, although the Road Warriors and Windham matches are pretty good. But the whole show is overshadowed by Flair's rampant egomania, and the disaster that it went on to cause.
