WCW Starrcade ResultsEddy Guerrero defeated Dean Malenko to retain the WCW Cruiserweight Championship (14:57)Guerrero pinned Malenko after a Frog Splash. Randy Savage, Scott Norton and Vincent defeated Ray Taylor and The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott) (11:06)Savage pinned Scott after a Flying Elbow Drop. Goldberg defeated Steve McMichael (5:59)Goldberg pinned McMichael after a Jackhammer. Saturn (w/Raven, Kidman, Lodi, Sick Boy, Riggs, and Hammer) defeated Chris Benoit in a Raven's Rules match (10:50)Saturn forced Benoit to submit with the Rings of Saturn. Buff Bagwell (w/Vincent) defeated Lex Luger (16:36)Bagwell pinned Luger. Diamond Dallas Page defeated Curt Hennig to win the WCW United States Championship (10:52)Page pinned Hennig after a Diamond Cutter. Larry Zbyszko defeated Eric Bischoff (w/Scott Hall) (w/Bret Hart as Special Guest Referee) (11:12)Bischoff was disqualified after Hall interfered. This match was for the control of WCW Monday Nitro, with Zbyszko representing WCW and Bischoff representing the nWo. Sting defeated Hollywood Hogan to win the WCW World Heavyweight Championship (12:54)Sting forced Hogan to submit with the Scorpion Deathlock. Hogan had originally pinned Sting after a leg drop, but Bret Hart came out and claimed that referee Nick Patrick had made a fast count. Hart then restarted the match with himself as ref. Starrcade is over, a new year approachesIn 1997, WCW entered its peak, largely due to the nWo storyline. During that time, the nWo feuded with the revived (and face-turned) Four Horsemen as well as the returning WCW hero Sting (who now had a gimmick that resembled The Crow). The latter feud served to build up Starrcade in December. When WCW delivered the Sting vs. Hogan match for the WCW World Championship, the event drew WCW's biggest buyrate and Bischoff was largely praised in the months leading up to this event because of his refusal to "hotshot" (give away a big money pay-per-view match before proper build up, causing a lesser buyrate) Sting vs. Hogan for the WCW World Title. However, some wrestling fans considered the match to be a failure. Hogan was heavily criticized for not doing a clean finish to the match, which confused and irritated fans who had waited over a year to see Sting take down the nWo. The finish actually involved a recently-introduced Bret Hart (who had refereed the preceding match between Bischoff and Larry Zbyszko for control of Nitro) coming down to the ring after Hogan had supposedly won the match. Hart alleged that referee Nick Patrick had performed a fast count on Sting, and wanted to "make things right." Bret Hart insisted the match continue (with himself as referee) in order to prevent Sting from being "screwed" just like he had been in the WWF with the Montreal screwjob. Hart left the WWF in 1997 after the Montreal Screwjob at the Survivor Series, and it looks as though WCW is in a position to push the WWF straight into perpetual ratings ruin. WCW seemingly possessed the biggest stars in the industry, such as Hogan, Savage, Sting, Flair, Hart, Hall, and Nash. In addition, the company also had credible midcard stars such as Chris Benoit and Raven, as well as an exciting cruiserweight division featuring high-flying competitors from Mexico (the luchadors) and Japan as well as the United States and Canada. Would WCW take advantage of this situation?

WCW Thunder to debut this week!With the huge popularity WCW has been getting lately, it has been decided that a new show called WCW Thunder will debut this week. It has been given a slot on Thursday Evenings on the CBS Network. WCW President Eric Bischoff has announced that a huge match will take place on the debut of Thunder, Hogan vs. Bret Hart! This will surely attract some viewers as you don't usually see a match of that calibre given away on free television. Other NewsIt has been announced that Sting will in fact keep the WCW World Championship. There were rumours that the title would be vacated due to the controversial ending to Starrcade. Hogan will surely be unhappy about this decision and will be looking for a rematch surely. WCW have been in talks with Matt and Jeff Hardy after they were fired from the WWF a few days ago. The two brothers have great talent and would be a great addition to the WCW roster if they decide to join. That's all for now. Don't miss WCW Monday Night Nitro tonight!

WCW Monday Night Nitro Monday, December 29 Just after 24 hours of losing his WCW Championship to Sting, Hogan wants his rematch tonight! After being decided that the title will stay on Sting after the controversial ending to Starrcade, Hogan wants to quickly win back the WCW World Championship! Will the title go straight back to Hogan?
Chris Benoit will call out Raven tonight! Benoit hasn't been able to get to Raven, but will he get his chance tonight to face him one on one? Or will he have to go through the Flock to get to him?
The WCW Television Title will be on the line as Disco Inferno defends against Chris Jericho!
Also, Eddy Guerrero will defend his WCW Cruiserweight Title against Ultimo Dragon!
And, expect Eric Bischoff to be here with the nWo! What will they have to say?

Looks good so far.
I'm waiting to see how the WCW World Championship scenario goes, as I expect Hulk Hogan to kick Sting's little pruny ass.
I'll definatly be reading.
And if you wouldn't mind, could you please drop a reply to ECW?

WCW Monday Night Nitro Monday, December 29We are welcomed to the show by Tony Schiavone and Bobby Heenan. They talk about the main event tonight, which is Hogan vs. Sting for the WCW World Title. We then go to our first match. Rey Misterio Jr. & Juventud Guerrera def. Psicosis & La ParkaThis match entertained the crowd easily, and it ended with Misterio hitting the Springboard Rana on La Parka to pin him for the three count. We are shown that Eric Bischoff and the nWo have arrived in the building! WCW Cruiserweight Title Eddy Guerrero def. Ultimo DragonA very tight contest, with Guerrero picking up the win with a Victory Roll. Eddy retains his title. Chris Benoit gets in the ring. He cuts a promo on Raven, telling him that he wants him one on one, tonight! Raven comes out with his Flock members, he tells Benoit that he must face Perry Saturn again, and if he wins, he will agree to fight him. Chris Benoit def. Perry SaturnBenoit locked Saturn in the Crossface to make him tap out and win the match! Benoit celebrated, but was later attacked by The Flock. Raven ended the attack with a Evenflow DDT onto a chair! Benoit was bleeding from the head as Raven looked on, satisfied. Hollywood Hogan is backstage with the nWo. Bischoff tells him that he must win tonight, and help will be on the way if needed. WCW Television Title Chris Jericho def. Disco InfernoJericho used dirty tactics to win the title, low blowing Inferno while the ref’s back was turned, and then hitting him with The Lionsault while he was on the ground to become the new WCW Television Champion! A video hyping WCW Thunder is played, showing that the main event is Hogan vs. Bret Hart WCW World Title Hollywood Hogan def. Sting by DQNot long after the match had started, the nWo came out at ringside. They tried to distract the referee at every time possible, and it looked like Hogan would win back the title when Bischoff started arguing with the referee, and Nash came in the ring and hit Sting with a Powerbomb! Hogan than delivered the Legdrop, and went for the pin…One…Two…Th…NO! Bret Hart ran to the ring and broke up the count! Hogan wins by disqualification meaning Sting is still champion! Hart helps Sting up and they both fight off the rest of the nWo. Hogan points at Bret, and tells him that he will kick his ass on Thursday Night!

My apologies to MRC, it was brought to my attention by a friend that you had taken a pic from my graphic, after overviewing them, it appears you didn't.
