Here are the 1992 Starrcade results in order of appearance;

Lethal Lottery tag match #1  

  Van Hammer + Dan Spivey  beat Cactus Jack + Johnny B Badd

  Hammer pinned Jack after Badd kod him.  Cactus and Johnny never got it 
together.


Into the pre recorded locker rooms.  Chono had on a shirt and didn't look
at all ready to go anywhere.

Lethal Lottery tag match #2

  Dustin Rhodes + Big Van Vader beat Kensuke Sasaki + Barbarian

  Rhodes pinned Barbarian after Barbarian knocked Sasaki off of the apron.
Vader decked Rhodes after the match but nothing came of it.


In the locker room, Chono had his shirt off and Muta was nowhere to bee seen.
When his name was drawn, Chono pointed to a part of the room that was off
camera while everyone else was clapping.  We never saw Muta in there.

Lethal Lottery Tag match #3

   Barry Windham + The Great Muta beat Too Cold Scorpio + Brian Pillman

   Muta pinned Scorpio after a missed moonsault.  Pillman and Windham locked
up once and slapped each other.  They kept saying how they had to team up for
the title match later in the evening.



Cactus Jack was chewing out the Barbarian in the locker room.  Liger was the
last name drawn and it was hardly a surprise when they drew his name.

Lethal Lottery tag match #4

   Sting + Dr Death beat Eric Watts + Jushin Liger

   Dr Death pinned Watts after stungunning him.  Watts failed to hook the
STF on Dr Death since he was too close to the ropes.  Liger didn't fly.


Missy Hyatt was drawing the names out and had on a really interesting outfit.
She didn't show up again after that.

Funny part was when Schiavone said, "Missy's all ready and excited ..."


NWA title match

    The Great Muta submitted to Masahiro Chono.  

    Chono got the STF on him after Muta got a near pin.  Muta didn't fly as
much as he did in his first appearance of the night.  Slow match but lots of
interesting moves and restholds.


WCW title match

    Dr Death was DQ'd  Ron Simmons remains the champ.  

    Both were initially counted out but they continued to fight so they
reversed the decision.  Not a fantastic match.

     Rick Rude was reported to have a back injury and he came out before the
match complaining about the neurosurgeon and the WCW officials who want to
strip him of the US title and #1 contender status.


WCW/NWA Tag Team title match

     Shane Douglas + Ricky Steamboat beat Barry Windham + Brian Pillman

     No trouble resulting from the earlier match that Windham and Pillman
were in.  Douglas pinned Pillman after a belly to belly.  Good action
outside the ring as Pillman took the steel in the jaw and Douglas fell off
of the top turnbuckle onto the arena floor.  Steamboat also hit Windham with
a padded chair while the official was distracted by Pillman.


King o Cable Finals

      Sting pinned Vader

      Fairly long match with Vader taking a lot of hits and throws.  Not bad
all along but the finisher was poorly executed as Vader was coming off of the
top rope and flipped himself on his back while sting had his arms around him
and eventually curled Vader's shoulders up off of the mat for the pin.


Battlebowl Battle Royal

       Hammer went out first.  Spivey followed onto the elevated walkway.
Vader and Sting went out together onto the rampway.  Dr Death and Dustin
Rhodes went out together.  Muta was thrown over the top but curled back in
and dropkicked Windham twice to knock him over the top to win it all.

Muta is the Battlebowl champ.

A pretty dull battle royal since half of them went out in pairs and there were
only 8 to begin with.



The total time was near 2hrs 45mins and all the matches seemed a little too 
short.  Good to see all of the challengers wrestling three times that night.
Not a bad show.  It could have been much much worse.
