Starrcade (1991)

Starrcade '91: Battlebowl/The Lethal Lottery was the ninth annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view event. It was the fourth Starrcade event produced by World Championship Wrestling, and it took place on December 29, 1991 from the Norfolk Scope in Norfolk, Virginia. The event solely featured the Battlebowl battle royal and its qualifying matches. Forty wrestlers were chosen at random to form ten pairs of tag teams. Each pair competed in a match, and the winning team advanced to Battlebowl. This was the first Starrcade event to not feature Ric Flair. Sting won Battlebowl, and his victory led to a feud with Lex Luger over the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. This was also the first Starrcade after WCW left the NWA.
