Biggest show before Starrcade?

Imagine they pulled it off and had Victory Road bigger than WM ever was in 20 years...yet on the other hand even when WCW was doing better than WWF Starcade was nothing compared to WM still. I guess it goes to show even if you beat them in the ratings head to head for almost 90weeks in a row you`re still far from being on par with wrestlmania (even WMXI, which just sucked)

Best thing I remember from any starcade was cruiserweight matches, maybe Jericho (as TV Champ I think) putting on a great match. Other than that, even in the late NWA days it just felt like a regular stacked card.

were their not big events where the (w)wwf Champ and NWA champ wrestled in exhibitions or matches that ended in DQ`s (Someone told me that it once happened years ago with Backlund vs Flair, maybe someoen could shed some light on that cause I`m not going to google it for this post)
