This was the first Starrcade under the WCW (instead of the NWA) banner and the first to not include Ric Flair, who had left for the World Wrestling Federation.[2] Sting won Battlebowl, and his victory led to a feud with Lex Luger over the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.[3] In 2015, All WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
