Starrcade, which predates Wrestlemania

You are not alone. One of the main problem WCW had was they didn't have one SPECIAL PPV, and so they all seemed the same. Some people care about Wrestlemania just because it's Wrestlemania. Starrcade should have been that for WCW, but it wasn't.

I thought they were trying to put Superbrawl as their "big one".

They had a few that many people considered the big one...but Starrcade is what there big one was.

World War 3 was basically like the Royal Rumble....the winner got the shot at Starrcade or in WWEs case....Mania.

For the longest I know it was Starrcade but later on they tried pushin SuperBrawl as it which wasn't the best idea.

Have one and keep it that way, but it's too late for that now anyway.

IMO, for quite a long time, almost all of their events were their WM.

Contrary to popular belief, WCW ran some of the most tremendous shows / matches ever - and if I may say so, possibly more than WWE / WWF did. They did have a big string of great events that were all considered to be high caliber, and major events.

Although, like it was said above, they needed an anchor just for people's psychology that based on the name / hype of the event that it'll be special. It hurt them in the long run, but I just wanted to make a point of saying that WCW wasn't shit like most make it out to be.

Well, when you just look at the name itself, Wrestlemania sounds pretty stupid too.

What are TNA pushing as their "Wrestlemania"?
Shaggy
03-12-2005, 09:02 AM
TNA hasnt named one as its wrestlemania type event yet because they have only had 4-5 events. I think that in the end it will probably be Victory Road since that was there first ppv.

That sounds gay as well.

Victory Road sounds like the place that you go to to get baptised.

I was reading that TNA may make their "big" PPV "Bound For Glory", sometime in September I think.

I always thought WCW's Wrestlemania was either Starrcade or Slamborre(sp).

And I'm pretty sure November to Remember or Guilty as Charged were ECW's.

After reading this, I wanted to throw my one and a half cents out on a few points, so here you go.

*Starrcade did have its first event before WrestleMania.

*ECW’s big event probably WAS November to Remember, because that was always a big deal even before ECW had Pay-Per-View.

*A reason you might think that WCW’s big event was SuperBrawl is that they had actually numbered SuperBrawls just like WrestleManias.

*A reason you might think that Slamboree was the biggest WCW event was because it sometimes featured “A Legends’ Reunion” and would have a “Legends” Match or two with legendary retired performers.
