One show I never saw until now. This has got to be the low point of early 90's WCW.... in my opinion far worse than Great American Bash 1991.
This one for sure deserves a review-a-wai...
The absolute pinnacle of Ventura not giving even 1 percent of a shit on commentary.
Literally everything after the opener is completely terrible except for one Cactus Jack promo.
Is this the lowest point of WCW in the 90s?

Depends on which way you are considering it.
I always felt Starrcade 94, for what is supposed to be WCW's premier show of the year, was just terrible with a main event of Hogan vs Beefcake, and just a terrible card in general.

How about Halloween Havoc 1992? Chamber of horrors, enough said

Chamber of Horrors was Havoc 91.
Havoc 92 had Sting vs Jake the Snake in Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal. Also a terrible match between Rude and Chono.

starrcade 94 was the first WCW tape I ever owned. It was pretty bad. Although watching Das Wunderkind beat HHH is pretty awesome in retrospect.

But look at the card for Fall Brawl.
Starrcade 94 should have sucked. The card was awful on paper. Same with most of those other shows. Never looked promising really.
Fall Brawl followed up two awesome War Games from 91 and 92 with the drizzing shits of 93. Flair vs Rude should not have sucked. Nasty Boys vs Arn & Roma could have been a fun brawl if Roma was kept out of the ring more but it went on for about 16 years of restholds. 2 Cold vs Orndorff, even with their partners' shittiness could have produced something better than it did.
That combined with the 93 wcw cheese factor, the Cactus amnesia stuff, the screw up of the pre-tapes tag title change etc., Shockmaster...
Saddest part was looking at Harley Race walking out during Yoshi Kwan entrance trying his hardest to take the whole "little bag" thing seriously.

By Starrcade 94 it was pretty obvious who was running the ship in WCW as Hogan buddies had to find a spot on the card.
Seriously Hogan vs Brother Bruti as the Main Event of your apparent biggest show?

Let's just say the only good years WCW ever had were 89-90 and 96-97.
