Now, onto Starrcade 2003:
Starrcade 20th Anniversary - 2003
Live from Greensboro Colisseum
Commentary team: Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay
Cruiserweight tag titles: Psicosis and Super Crazy (C) vs Triple X (Elix Skipper and christopher Daniels) vs The Hooliganz (Brian Kendrick and Paul London). Triple X wins.
6-man tag titles: made in italy (C) (Little Guido, Tony Mamaluke and Johnny Parisi) vs Jung Dragons (Tajiri, Kaz Hayashi and Jimmy Yang). Jung Dragons wins.
TV Title, 5th defense: Ron Killings vs Chavo Guerrero Jr. (C) vs Mike Awesome. Killings win after Chavito gets interfered by Awesome's partner Lance Storm, which he doesn't mind, since both sides hate Chavo's guts, anyways, due to Chavo winning Storm's TV title and cheating out Killings of a win at Halloween Havoc. This will lead to Storm and Awesome vs Los Guerreros.
Donovan Morgan, Michael Modest, Dustin Rhodes and Billy Kidman vs The Steiner Brothers, Buff Bagwell and Alex Wright. Random 8-men tag to get people on the show.
Goldberg vs Kanyon - last man standing
Build up: Kanyon, who was US champ until losing to RVD at Starrcade 2001, is looking for a win against a big name to finally get the respect he deserves and get into the main event scene. And who betta than Goldberg?
The two had been at odds with eahc other ever since Kanyon cost Goldberg his title shot agaisnt Booker T at the Great American Bash in 2002. Since then, the two fought each other three times: at Starrcade 2002, where Goldberg won, at Great American Bash 2003, where their steel.cage match ended in a draw when both Goldberg and Kanyon landed at the same time, and at Fall Brawl in the elimination chamber, where Goldberg speared Kanyon through one of the pods.
Now, this is the rubber match: last man standing.
Results: Kanyon wins, spearing Goldberg through a sound system down the stage.
Ric Flair vs Sting: the final match. If Sting wins, Flair is banned from ringside in the new horsemen's matches tonight. Sting wins.
Tag team Titles: America's most wanted vs Natural Born Thrillers (C) rematch.
Results: AMW wins.
Cruiserweight title: AJ Styles (C) vs Jamie Knoble.
Build: AJ Styles, after breaking out of his air raid tag team and going solo, finally ended Chavo Guerrero Jr's reign of terror with the cruiserweight belt at Starrcade 2002...only to turn heel by joining the New Horsemen.
However, unlike the other horsemen, Styles defended hsi titles cleanly, albeit with an arrogant attitude, calling himself the phenomenal one, which rubbed Jamie Knoble the wrong way.
Knoble has been paying his dues int.he business, and he thinks the priviledged Styles represents everythjng wrong with the business. He kept pestering AJ for a title challenge, but AJ kept refusing, saying that he doesn't waste his time with rednecks and nobodies.
Eventually, Knoble ends up winning the cruiserweight classic tournament to become the new number 1. Contender, forcing AJ to aknowledge him.
Results: AJ retains the belt, reversing Knoble's guillotine choke with the styles clash. After the match, AJ Recognises Knoble's talents and will to win and gives him a handshake.
US Title: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs Eddie Guerrero (C). Rey wins.
Build: Eddie Guerrero came back to WCW in 2002 following his firing from WWE and his match in ROH against CM Punk, making a surprise appearance at Superbrawl that year, announcing that he wants to fight RVD. He would get his match against RVD after pinning him in a tag match with Chavo against RVD and Rey Mysterio Jr.
At the great american bash, in an exceptional match, RVD retained, but Eddie gave it his all. Afterwards, he won a number 1 contenders tournament, defeating RVD in the final in their rematch to face double champion Booker T for the US belt at Starrcade, which he would win, banging Booker up enough for him to lose to RVD later that night.
From then on, Eddie kept the US belt for the year, sometimes beating his challengers cleanly, sometimes lying, cheating and stealing.
Enter Rey Mysterio Jr. Now with his old mask back, the record 6-time cruiserweight champion reminded Eddie that there is one man whom has been living rent free in Eddie's mind ever since that fateful match at Halloween Havoc 1997: Rey himself! And since he helped Chavo unjustly win the cruiserweight title from him back in 2002, this has become personal.
For much of 2003, Rey and Eddie would torment each other psychologically, with Rey getting really close to pinning Eddie many times in tag team matches, while Eddie went as far as to pretend he was Rey's son Dominik's biological father, which took things too far for Rey.
Results: Rey Mysterio Jr wins and becomes US champion.
Big gold belt: RVD vs Steve Corino (C) vs Booker T.
Build up: Booker T became a 5-time, 5-time, 5-time world champion after defeating Scott Steiner at Starrcade 2001, while RVD has been stealing his thunder with his excellent US title reign, which made Booker jealous. Booker won the first match against RVD in a title vs title match at clash of the champions 2002, but would lose both belts at Starrcade 2002 to Eddie Guerrero and RVD.
Meanwhile, Steve Corino, after doing a demolition tour of the WCW legends, revealed himself to be in league with Ric Flair from the start, and he would beat Sting in a violent dog collar match at Starrcade 2002, with Flair announcing the formation of the new horsemen: Corino as the leader, The Natural born thrillers as the enforcers and AJ Styles as the hot prospect.
Corino and the new horsemen would cheat and up to the main event, eventually dethroning RVD in an upset at the GAB, at the expense fo Booker T, whom Corino screwed out of a rematch by pinning hin with a handful of tights at Bash at the Beach the previous month.
Later, at Fall Brawl: Elimination Chamber, Corino survived and pinned Booker after he punted RVD in the aftermath of him landing the five-star frog splash. This was the first sign of him being vulnerable
In the rematch against RVD at Halloween Havoc, Corino looked even more vulnerable, with only a last minute intervention by Ric Flair and a hail mary old school explosion keeping him from losing the big gold belt. Afterwards, Booker T, who defeated Kanyon after interference from Goldberg to become the new no.1 contender, draws with RVD in a Nitro main event, which leads to Corino gloating about having no more contenders left for his title, having conquered booker, RVD, Goldberg, Kanyon and Sting, all in the elimination chamber.
That is where Eric Bischoff comes out and says that he is wrong, because, with both Booker and RVD proving themselevs worthy of a title shot tonigjt, and because they both want their hands around Corino's neck, then the world heavyweight title match at Starrcade 2003 will be a three-way dance!
Finish: Booker does the houston hangover on Corino as he applied the figure-four, avenging the time he screwed him out of a third match with RVD for the title. Booker attempts the scissors kick, but RVD avoids it and rolling solbats Booker, limping to the top turnbuckle to do the five-star frog splash, but Corino got up, with brass knuckles, ready to hit him...but Booker low blows Corino! Karma!
RVD then lands the frog splash and wins back the big gold belt, with Booker being too hurt and exhausted to try and break up the pin.
After the match, Booker helped RVD get up and gave him the belt. Corino then complaisn to the ref about the low blow, only for both booker and RVD to simultaneously kick him over the top rope.
After a short celebration, A limping RVD then offers a handshake to booker. Booker accepts, but he keeps his grip firm, and stares intently at RVD. He is gonna get that belt where it belongs, sucka: around his waist!
Results: RVD Wins the world heavyweight title.
Whaddya think?

WCW Superbrawl 2004
March 13, 2004
Live from the Norfolk Scope, Norfolk, Virginia
Commentary team: Tony Schiavone and Mike Tenay
Cruiserweight tag title match : Triple X (Christopher Daniels and Elix Skipper) (C) vs the Hooliganz (Brian Kendrick and Paul London)
Build: Kendrick complained about getting their victory stolen by Daniels and Skipper at the Starrcade 2003 cruiserweight tag titles three-way dance, and demanded a match with them. Daniels says that they can get bend, for they didn't steak no one's victories, they won it fair and square, and that this is only the stepping stone for Daniels's prophecy as top star to come true.
The Hooliganz would then defeat the Mexicools, the Dragons and made in italy, whom have been tormenting them since coming to the company, thinking they're a bunch of pot-smoking bozos, and also because they have unfinished business with them coming from their ROH days.
Results; Triple X retains, but the hooliganz looked really strong, with kendrick doing the sliced bread #2 on Daniels setting up for London's 450 splash...only for Guido to hit London with a chair, distracting kendrick long enough for daniels to hit the angels wings on kendrick and do the BME on a downed london to have Triple X retain the titles.
Trios titles: Jung Dragons (C) (Tajiri, Jimmy Yang and Kaz Hayashi) vs Team Canada (Bobby Roode, Petey Williams and Eric Young)
Build: a new concept created by WCW is coming: the World Cup of Wrestling. The first team revealed was team Canada, managed by Don Callis. Team Canada has been interfering in their world cup rivals matches, costing made in Italy, Mexicool members and the jung dragons title shot opportunities.
The latter, the 6-men tag champions, were the most vocal about this, and Tajiri made a nasty example out of the fragile Eric Young in a singles match, brutalizing him with his stiff-ass kicks until he verbally submited on Nitro, prompting Team Caanda to come to hsi rescue, with Jimmy Yanga nd Kaz Hayashi joining in on the brawl.
Results: no contest after the match was thrown off for excessive violence
TV Title: Ron Killings vs Alex Wright w/ Buff Bagwell
Build: Killings has been shittalking many wrestlers in his raps during his TV title defenses agaisnt a variety of opponents. One team who did not like it was Alex Wright and Buff Bagwell, who took offense to Killings's claism that they were juiced, looking to prove that their buffness is 100% Grade A beef.
Results: Alex Wright wins the TV Belt with the german suplex...or so it seems. After the match, Eric Bischoff comes out, and concludes that the drug test taken before the show for Alex Wright...was positive for EPO. Therefore, Alex Wright has been disqualified, and Killings retains his title, much to an absolutely furious buff daddy.
Dustin Rhodes vs Jeff Jarrett - Mexican Death Match
Build: Jeff Jarrett is offended that Rey Mysterio Jr, a mexican cruiserweight, holds the prestigious US title, and he wants none of rey's factually correct statement that he is from san diego! As far as he's concerned, California is as mexican as Tacos and drug cartels!
Now, imagine his face when Rey, instead of giving a US title challenge to him, an american heavyweight, he gave it to his longtime rival Psicosis, another mexican cruiserweight!
That's where Dustin Rhodes, who alreadybhad beef with Jarrett before, comes in and calls him out on his bullshit, syaing that, without WCW hiring those mexicans for trh cruiserwieght division, there wouldn't have been any RVDs, there wouldn't have been no AJ Styles and there wouldn't have been Rey Mysterio Jr, one of the biggest stars in the world! While Dustin may have been born and raised in the 70s and 80s, unlike Jeff, he got his head out of his ass and has come to appreciate the contributions that Mexicans have done to this sport, including the following stipulation to their match: a mexican death match!
Results: Jarrett wins after hitting the stroke on thumbthacks after low blowing Dustin
World tag team titles number 1 contender showdown: Lance Storm and Mike Awesome vs Los Guerreros
Build: Storm and Awesome are looking for revenge agaisnt Chavo after Chavo cheated Storm out of his TV Title. Now, Chavo's asking for the help of his uncle, with the uktimate goal of achieving his boyhood dream of winning tag team titles with him, just like uncle Mando and Hector back in the 80s.
Results: Los Guerreros and Chavo wins after Eddie did his fake chair shot victim trick to Mike Awesome, which led to Chavo dropkicking Mike into a roll-up by Eddie for the pin, becoming the number 1 contenders for the tag team titles. A finish similar to misnight exlress vs The Fantastics from 1988.
World tag team titles: Donovan Morgan and Michael Modest vs AMW (C)
Results: AMW retains, declarogn themselves the best tag team in WCW history. However, the Steiner Brothers coems out and take offense to that, staring down the young champs.
Cruiserweight title: AJ Styles (C) vs Low-Ki
Build: it's the WCW World Cruiserweight champion, the phenomenal AJ Styles, against the NWA Interantional Junior Heavyweight champion Low-Ki, who has been tearing apart some of the best junior heavyweights in the world in japan and here, in WCW, where he defeated WCW's number 2 cruiserweight Jamie Knoble, earning hims a champion vs champion match against AJ.
This ain't the first time those two fought, for Low-Ki has beaten AJ in japan at pro wrestling Zero-1 in an international jr. Heavyweight title match in may of last year, so Low-Ki has the psychological advantage.
Results: AJ 's epic year + long title reign comes to an end, as Low-Ki hits his devastating devil stomp to become the new WCW World Cruiserweight champion! However, Jamie Knoble come sout and has a massive staredown with Low-Ki!
Booker T, Goldberg and Sting vs Kanyon, Steve Corino and Mark Jindrak
Build: with the horsemen now defeated, they regrouped and came up with a plan...meanwhile, Sting, who defeated Ric Flair at the starrcade 20th anniversary last December, pleaded for Ric to retire, considefing this was the final match.
And then, Kanyon coems out of nowhere and hits sting with a lariat! He then shakes the hand of Ric Flair. Kanyon has joined the new horseman!
Kanyon explains that he might have beaten Goldberg, but there is one man who is bigger and betta than Goldberg...and that is the stinger himself! Since they have a common enemy, the offer to join the horsemen cannot be refused. Plus, Ric Flair explains that this incarnation of the horsemen never specified them to be only four people all the time!
Meanwhile, Corino has wanted revenge on Booker T for the low blow at Starrcade that costed him his world title.
Results: Booker takes out Corino with a book end off the top rope to counter an avalanche old school explosion, but Kanyon comes in with the flatliner on Booker! But he gets rocked by a scorpion death drop! Jindrak comes in and does the mark of excellence on Sting...only for Goldberg to spear him outta nowhere! He then nails the jackhammer on Jindrak to get the win.
Sting, Goldberg and and Booker wins, but Kanyon and Corino gets protected.
US Title: Rey Mysterio Jr. Vs Psicosis
Build: see the jeff jarrett build above, but also Rey has had many opponents in the past, but none has given him more trouble than Psicosis, his eternal rival. Finally, now's the time for them to finally have a high-profile match in america. Psicosis accepts the challenge.
Results: in a lucha clinic, Rey retains with the 619 and west coast pop. Afterwards, he shakes Psicosis's hands. Jeff Jarrett then attacks both, with Jarrett trying to remove his mask before he gets chased away by the mexicools.
Main event - Big gold belt: RVD (C) vs Sean O'Haire
Build: Sean O'Haire has been on a trail of destruction. Destroying everything in his path, he has set his eyes on RVD.
Results: RVD bumps like hell to make Sean look like an absolute athletic monster, but the tides turn when he counters the widowmaker into a DDT! That brings Sean down long enough for RVD to do the five star frog spalsh to retain the big gold belt.
Whaddya think?

Since then, Booker has felt that he should be a 6-time world champion by now.
At Starrcade 2003, Booker got some karma by low blowing Corino in their three-way dance match with RVD, which led to Corino losing the big gold belt back to RVD.
Now, a year later, it is time for the rematch, inside a steel cage, with the winner facing RVD for the big gold belt at GAB 2004...

Big Gold Belt: RVD (C) vs Kanyon
Build: RVD and Kanyon has had a rivalry ever since RVD made his WCW debut. the two fought each other twice, all in 2001. First, Kanyon won the first match in the US Title tournament final by rolling up RVD as he landed his frog splash, then RVD equalised in a show-stealing second match to win the US title at Starrcade 2001.
Kanyon has swore that, when the time will come, he will get the win over RVD in the rubber match. Three years later, the time has come, for Kanyon, now a star after his career-defining win over Goldberg at Starrcade 2003 and joining the new horsemen, challenges RVD to a third match for the big gold belt.
Results: Kanyon throws everything he has, yet RVD refuses to go down. In the end, RVD survived Kanyon's onslaught by knockong him out by countering his flatliner into an STO! He then hit sthe forg splash to retain the big gold belt. It was RVD's toughest challenge so far, and Kanyon comes out of it like a huge threat.
Aftwerwards, as both wrestlers recuperated, Kanyon didn't know what to do. He brings out some brass knuckles that he hid in his pants...only for Sting to come out and forcibly removes them from his hands! He then tells Kanyon that he did the right thing all match long by fighting like a man all the way to the end, and he expects him to do the same to everyone of his opponents, including sting himself. That is where Sting extends his hand to Kanyon, his way of challenging Kanyon to the match he sought since the start of the year...but corino, Jindrak, Flair and O'Haire comes out and attacks Sting and RVD!
that is where Booker T and Goldberg comes down to the rescue, and helps sting and RVD clean house!
However, once it was done, Booker stared at RVD, and so does Goldberg!

AMW retains, while Eddie looked at Chavo with disappointment in his face.
6. Goldberg vs Sean O'Haire.
Build-up: Goldberg and O'Haire has had some stiff-ass exchanges in their multi-men matches on previous shows, and the tension is bound to explode.
Results: in a big hoss fight like how we love them, Goldberg was at first overwhelmed by the much more athletic O'Haire, but Goldberg eventually caught O'Haire mid-air doing a flying clothesline and suplexes him into the ring post, injuring his back.

In the end, O'Haire hits the widowmaker, but he can't make the pin because he ****ed up his back while doing it.

8. Sting vs Kanyon
Results: throughout the match, Kanyon is not only fighting sting, but he wants to beat him clean to send a message. Corino and Ric Flair, who were watching from the commentary booth, were getting a bit restless theoughout the match, with O'Haire having lost to Goldberg already.
Kanyon looked like he was gonna get the upper hand on sting after doing a flapjack on the turnbuckle into a flatliner, but the work that Sting did on Kanyon's legs meant that kanyon was slower to go for the cover, so Sting manages to recover enough to get up at 2.99. Finally, Kanyon tries going for a fireman's carry face buster, but Sting counters into a scorpion death drops, then traps Kanyon into the Scorpion Death Lock!
Corino and Flair got up and ran down the rmap towards the ring, but Kanyon, fighting through the pain, yells at them to leave him be, that he is a man, that he will fight cleanly all the way to the end. Corino and Flair stood there, powerless, as Kanyon tries his damnest to fight through the pain of the scorpion death lock, but in the end, he can't take it anymore, and he taps out.
Sting wins. Corino and Flair looked conflicted by Kanyon's attitude.

Yeah, after thinking about this, i'll retcon the elimination chamber thing. The Elimination chamber will only be reserved for if the big gold belt is vacated or for special occasions
