Sting with quick blows and a bulldog. The crowd loves it. From behind, Sting hits a clothesline but it’s not quite enough. A second effort and Lex Luger has been eliminated.
Winner: Sting
- EA’s Take: Well, that’s not an easy one to call just on the fact that it essentially becomes two separate battle royals at once going into the match. Most of what I have to say, I’ll say in the finisher below.
EA’s Finisher: So, this was a surprisingly decent show. I really like the concept of it, but I don’t think it should be the entirety of your showcase show. Starrcade should be like WrestleMania in the sense that you pay off major feuds and have “dream matches”. BattleBowl would be a fantastic concept as it’s own PPV, which they give a shot to later on because with good planning, you could create or break allegiances, as well as create or further storylines. It’s also an opportunity to give younger guys a boost. Tonight’s events ultimately lead into an angle that sees Sting feud with Luger for the title, which seemed to be the natural way to go regardless of whether or not Sting won BattleBowl. That’s another thing worth fixing: give the winner an actual incentive much like the Royal Rumble. Another thing they’ll do later on, but in classic WCW fashion they overthink it.
Top Three To Watch
1 – Lex Luger & Arn Anderson vs. Terrance Taylor & Z-Man

Classic WrestleMania
Attitude Of Aggression #305- The Big Five Project: WrestleMania XI
The Big Five Project returns for our recap of WrestleMania XI, including Diesel v. Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart v. Bob Backlund, and much more!

The Big Five Project returns to cover one of the worst WrestleManias of all time, namely WrestleMania XI. With the steroid scandal behind him, Vince McMahon shifts his focus to a badly depleted roster, poor ticket sales, cratering popularity, and a host of other problems. His solution to this was to put on a WrestleMania that was shy on actual talent but put a real emphasis on celebrity talent. Never was this more evident than in the Main Event, when Bam Bam Bigelow took on Lawrence Taylor. LT was, without question, one of the greatest linebackers in NFL history. But his in-ring skill did not come close to matching up. Meanwhile, the WWF Championship match between Shawn Michaels and “Big Daddy Cool” Diesel got pushed to the appetizer for the Main Event. Combine that with what Bret Hart described as his worst PPV match of all-time, a lackluster Undertaker match v King Kong Bundy, the Allied Powers, and a host of other issues and you have all the ingredients necessary for a train wreck. And a train wreck is exactly what we got 30 years ago. We cover it all for you here, so you don’t have to watch it yourself. You can thank us later. Or thank us now by tuning in to another epic installment of The Big Five Project!
