I've been re-watching all the Nitro's from 1997, and I'm at mid-December 1997 right now, and they've been hyping a Flair vs. Curt Hennig Steel Cage match for the WCW US Title at Starrcade 97 (Flair came out and challenged Hennig, he accepted), and if I remember right that match never took place, and I was wondering why it never took place?

Never heard of this before tbh. I thought Perfect lost his belt to DDP?

Well, as of the 12-15-97 Nitro, Hennig was still the United States Champion, and they were still hyping that match as part of the show. I do think they had DDP vs. Curt Hennig at Starrcade for the US Title, in which DDP won, but I just don't know why they dropped the Flair vs. Hennig match for Starrcade, after hyping it for a couple of weeks on Nitro.

Yeah, I remember waiting for that match the night of Starrcade and then DDP came out. I was like wtf? But they mentioned that flair was hurt from an nWo attack or something if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I think that was it, because earlier today, I watched the Nitro from the next week, and it was from Charlotte, NC (The Nitro, in which Bret Hart made his WCW Debut), and Flair challenged Hennig to a United States title match, and Hennig accepted, but it wasn't much of a match because as the bell sounded most the nWo members rushed to the ring, and beat Flair down, and attack his injured knee, in which some of the WCW Lockeroom came out, like the Steiner Brothers, Luger, and DDP, in which DDP grabbed the microphone after they were helping Flair to the back, and challenged Hennig to a match at Starrcade, so I guess that answers my question.lol
