Wallop Rewind: WCW Starrcade '92 BATTLEBOWL

Rylan Turner and Vince welcome Will Gray back to the program to break down one of the strangest and most entertaining WCW pay-per-views of the early ’90s — Starrcade 1992: BattleBowl!

The show took place December 28, 1992 at The Omni in Atlanta and revolved around WCW’s chaotic “Lethal Lottery” concept, where wrestlers were randomly paired into tag teams throughout the night. The winners advanced to the main event BattleBowl battle royal, creating some of the most bizarre and unpredictable team-ups you’ll ever see.

The card is stacked with early ’90s WCW talent including Sting, Big Van Vader, Dustin Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, The Great Muta, Cactus Jack, and more, all thrown into completely random partnerships that range from surprisingly good… to absolutely ridiculous.

The guys also talk about the Sting vs. Vader King of Cable Final, which is basically 20 straight minutes of Sting getting absolutely mauled while Vader dishes out one of the most brutal beatdowns WCW TV ever put on a babyface. It’s a stiff, chaotic match that somehow still manages to be one of the most memorable parts of the show.

In what might go down as one of the funniest Wallop Media retro review episodes yet, the guys laugh their way through the madness — from questionable booking decisions to the pure insanity that only early ’90s WCW could produce.

If you love weird wrestling history, chaotic booking, and three guys trying to make sense of peak WCW nonsense, this episode is for you.
