## Details

* , Jushin Liger announces he's leaving WCW to focus on new japan pro wrestling, out comes longtime friend Great Muta, they hug it out and Muta puts 1 finger up "one more match" he points at both of them "you and me, ONE.MORE.MATCH.STARRCADE." Liger shakes Muta's hands, these 2 will face each other one last time before Liger leaves
* In a backstage segment, Scott Hall is with Meng and Meng has an announcment "AT STARRCADE, I WILL DEFEAT ROB VAN DAM AND PROCLAIM MY NAME IN THE EXTREME DIVISION BECAUSE I WAS THE ONE WHO CREATED EXTREME, I AM THE EMBODIEMENT OF EXTREME AND I WANT RVD.....IN A FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE MATCH." Hall announces that due to this, there will be a 15 MEN WORLD WAR 3 MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO FACES EDDIE FOR THE US CHAMPIONSHIP, THAT'S WHY TONIGHT WE HAVE 3 RINGS, 5 MEN IN EACH RING."
* Rotten Balls from ECW debut to no reaction
* Nash gets a mic and says "Vampiro, congratulations you did exactly what you wanted." Vampiro comes out and he's confused "oh are you? YOU CRUSHED MY DREAM OF BEING THE BEST NWO LEADER, THAT'S CLEARLY ALL YOU'VE WANTED EVER SINCE JOINING CHAOS, you're disgusting, ever since you joined us, we have been going on a downward spiral and it's all because of YOU." Vampiro says "nah nah Nash, the reason why Chaos failed is the one you just beat right now, this guy just couldnt HANDLE not being with his brother and he took it out on ALL OF US, I joined you guys because I wanted to crush Booker T's dream and Hogan's dream all in one go, I never meant to crush your dream along with it but now that I see how much of an asshole you are, I'm glad I did." Nash big boots Vampiro and Rey and Booker actually help Vampiro out in this weird face turn
* Hennig is pissed with Hall backstage "WHAT THE HELL MAN, DDP? WHY WOULD YOU CHOOSE A MAN THAT YOU HAVE SEEN UNDERSESTIMATES GOLDBERG, WHY NOT US, WE WOULDN'T DO THAT." Hall says "Curt, I get it, but c'mon we gotta give shots to the younger talent" "....HE'S FORTY TWO, WE'RE FORTY, HE'S OLDER THAN US." "Right, shit, sometimes I forget man but my point is, we're both former world champions, you have been on both companies, this might just be his only shot and it's his destiny, if there's one man that can defeat Goldberg is his former leader, Curt leaves
* Hogan accepts HHH's challenge, Hogan never felt as betrayed as ever when HHH took him out so if HHH wants to end his career, fine, he'll give him the chance but he won't take it easy. Hogan kind of showed hulkamania signs in this promo but the crowd still booed him like hell
* Goldberg is gonna have another match when DDP's theme hits as he returns, Goldberg tries to spear him but DDP manages to get him out of the ring, Goldberg comes back and DDP hits a diamond cutter and starts hitting it as hard as he can on Goldberg "GOLDBERG, YOU TRIED TO KILL ME AT HALLOWEEN HAVOC, I HAVE N O PITY FOR YOU, I'M NEXT AND GUESS WHAT GOLDBERG? I'M L A S T."
* Scott Hall says that since there are only 14 people in the match, he has an honorary 15th member of NWO Wolfpac, Chris Adams comes out to no reaction whatsoever in one of the most underwhelming "surprises" ever
* Sting clears house on David Flair, Psicosis and La Parka, Rick says he respects Sting and gives him the title shot
