10 Worst WCW PPV Main Events In History

3. Hulk Hogan vs. The Butcher - Starrcade 1994

You can say a lot of things about Hulk Hogan, but you can’t say that he doesn’t look after his friends. See Ed Leslie, aka Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake. 

Wherever Hogan went, Leslie was sure to follow and was usually on his way to a massive payday. Case in point, the main event of Starrcade 1994, where Hogan somehow managed to persuade people to let him fight Beefcake in the main event for the world title.

As The Butcher, Leslie joined up with the Three Faces of Fear and had been attacking Hogan for months leading up to the company’s big end-of-year spectacle. This led to what could have been a really interesting scenario between two former best buds, had they been able to put on a half-decent match. 

Whilst Hogan had his limits, at least he was a star. The Butcher on the other hand had about one per cent of the charisma of his opponent (which is being generous), and his in-ring abilities made the Hulkster look like Jushin Thunder Liger. 

A disgusting display of favouritism that led to a rotten match, Starrcade 1994 might just have the worst main event in that show’s illustrious history.
