Rating: * 1/4

Announcers John Elliott and Robbie Atkinson welcome everyone to the second-ever Starrcade. Happy Thanksgving! After running down tonight's card, we go to Frank Gresham backstage where wrestlers are enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. Most of the WCWF roster that doesn't have any matches tonight are eating, although the faces and heels aren't mingling. (The Jolly Green Giant being a notable exception.) Wally Richter piles his plate high and finds an open seat, only to have the chair collapse under him. Wolfie Brown comes up to Gresham with an improbably large turkey leg and gushes awkwardly about how happy he is to be TV Champion. Brown is attacked out of nowhere by Mean Massimo, who unloads on him with punches and forearms. Then Massimo snatches the turkey leg and clubs Wolfie over the head with it. Sol Salamanca tries to intervene, but Massimo tackles him. Eddie Fargo uses the distraction to grab a bowl of mashed potatoes and dump it over the head of Bobby Jackson. That triggers a food fight as Frank Gresham makes a hasty retreat from the pandemonium into the hallway. He sends it back to ringside, then sees someone off camera. He says "Is that who I think it is?" before the camera cuts away.

Angus Clark and Duncan Clark (AC-DC) are providing live entrance music for most of the matches tonight.

Brett Hale vs Carl Stryker w/ Jake Stryker

No lockup as Hale delivers a leaping elbowsmash to start. More elbows then he brings down Stryker with an armbreaker into a cross-armbreaker hold. Hale hits the ropes, but Jake pulls down the top rope to send Brett to the floor and give his son time to recover. The referee admonishes Papa Stryker. Hale gets back in the ring, but runs into a big boot. Carl hits a legdrop for one. Carl works a headlock then tries a bodyslam, but gets small packaged for two. Hale locks in a full nelson, but Stryker fights to the ropes. Fisherman buster sets up Hale To The Chief, but Jake briefly distracts the ref. The belated count is two. Butterfly suplex sets up a figure-four sleeper, but Stryker gets to the ropes. Brett goes up for presumably another Hale To The Chief, but Jake hits the top rope with his cane out of view of the ref. The shaking of the rope causes Hale to crotch himself. Carl hits a back suplex off the top then a Gorilla Press. Carl hooks the leg as a pins and the ref doesn't see Jake holding Brett's other leg down to help prevent a kickout.

Carl Stryker pinned Brett Hale after a Gorilla Press in 0:09:22.

Chad Too Badd vs A Mystery Opponent

Chad stops by AC-DC for some headbanging and air guitar as they play his music: George Thorogood's "Bad To The Bone." He's psyched and ready for whatever comes next.

*cue "Voodoo Child" by Jimi Hendrix*

A muscular wrestler with huge biceps, long blonde hair, a blonde fu-manchu, white boots, black pants, black sleeveless shirt that reads "BULK RULES!", black sunglasses, and black bandana. He's got an arrogant smirk on his face and walks with a swagger to the ring.

Ring Announcer: Hailing from Hollywood, California...standing 6'7" and weighing 270 lbs...BULK LOGAN!!!

The bell rings Logan stalls over the attempted lockup. He rakes Chad in the eyes then boots him down. Big Leg Drop. 1...2...Logan pulls him up. Whip into the ropes and Bulk nearly decapitates Chad with the Axe Bomber. Another Big Leg Drop. 1...2...Logan pulls him up. Bulk picks up Chad then hurls him across the ring with the Blockbuster. Logan drags Chad to the middle of the ring by his hair and arrogantly pins him with one foot while flexing.

Rating: 1/4*

After the bell rings, Bulk Logan kicks Chad Too Badd out of the ring so he can pose some more. Frank Gresham comes to the ring to get a word with this newcomer.

Gresham: That was quite a dominating debut performance.
Logan: You're looking at the future of of wrestling, brother. Whatcha gonna do when these 24" pythons run wild on you?
Gresham: But your behavior in your debut match...
Logan: Listen up, brother. I'm not here to anybody's hero. The Bulkster isn't going to be kissing babies and signing autographs. That stuff's for chumps. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win, just like I did whatever it took to get these guns, brother. *flexes* And if you don't like that, you and all the losers in the crowd can stick it!
Logan pushes past Gresham and leaves the ring.
Gresham (with clear disgust on his face): Ladies and gentlemen, your winner and the newest WCWF superstar..."The Immoral" Bulk Logan.

Ignacio Mercer vs "Million Dollar" Stan Trump

Trump surprises Mercer with the Million Dollar Knee before the bell, which gets two and a half. Million Dollar Stan slaps Mercer around and talks trash, only to have Ignacio sweep the leg. Trump blocks a monkey flip as two large Samoan guys make their way out to ringside. The announcers don't know who they are, but they're not The Wild Samoans. Trump goes for a clothesline, but Mercer ducks it only to run into dick kick city on the rebound while the referee is distracted by the Samoans circling the ring. Powerslam by Trump followed by a fistdrop. He goes for the pin with his feet on the ropes, but the ref sees it. Stan tosses Ignacio out of the ring and argues with the referee, resulting in him not see one of the Samoans hit Mercer with a brainbuster on the floor. They roll Mercer's carcass back into the ring. Ignacio struggles to his feet only to get hit with another high knee from Trump.

[Samoan Storm interfered against Ignacio Mercer.]

Frank Gresham wants a word with Trump after his win. Trump wants to gloat, but Gresham wants to know who the two newcomers are.
Trump: My latest investment: Kamu and Taku, Samoan Storm.
Gresham: Which one is which?
Trump: It doesn't really matter.
Gresham: Why don't you hire American muscle?
Trump: Foreigners work cheap. You can call my corporation Trump International.

"The One Man Army" John Murdoch vs General Winter

Winter charges with a lariat, but Murdoch ducks it and locks him in a sleeper. Winter fights out, but Murdoch boots him in the stomach a couple times and takes him to the corner for the crowd to count along with ten headsmashes into the turnbuckle. Red-White-and-Blue Thunder Bomb is blocked by Winter. Winter sends Murdoch into the ropes and the American tries to come back with a tackle only to get booted in the head by the Russian. Winter goes for a bearhug, but Murdoch punches his way out of it and hits a spinebuster for two. A neck snap has no effect on Winter so Murdoch applies the FUBAR. Winter fights out of the armbar, hits a series of atomic drops, and applies a bearhug. Murdoch breaks the hold with an earringer then suplexes Winter. He goes for the Red-White-and-Blue Thunder Bomb again, but here comes The Ayatollah!

John Murdoch defeated General Winter by disqualification in 0:06:22.
Rating: * 1/2
[The Ayatollah interfered against John Murdoch.]

General Winter and The Ayatollah deliver a post-match beatdown, culminating in The Ayatollah putting Murdouch in the dreaded Camel Clutch until officials finally break it up.

"Strongman" Rick Samson vs Mean Massimo

Samson comes out to his usual "Holding Out For A Hero" - albeit an instrumental version because Angus Clark can't do a Bonnie Tyler impersonation. Samson looks ready to break something. Then, instead of "Ectasy of Gold" (which Mean Massimo has been using since Mario Mancini retired in 1980) AC-DC launches into a cover of Motorhead's "Overkill" as Massimo marches to the ring, ignoring the the fans and wearing an intense look on his face. He gets in the ring and stares down Samson as the referee pleads for both men to restrain themselves until the bell rings. And as soon as it does he gets the hell out of the way.

Surprisingly, they actually lock up and we get an intense test of strength that seems to be a draw so Samson hits a hiptoss and an elbowdrop. Spinebuster is countered with a swinging neckbreaker then follows with a DDT. It's quickly apparent the crowd is very much behind Samson and very much against Massimo. Massimo goes for a full nelson slam, but Samson counters with a jawbreaker. Samson hits a belly-to-belly only to charge into a belly-to-belly from Massimo. Senton misses. Samson tries a waistlock suplex, but Massimo counters with a go-behind. He tries a belly-to-back suplex, but Samson blocks it. Massimo clubs him down with forearm shots to the back, neck, and head and hits the move way. Double chickenwing is applied, but Samson gets to the ropes. Massimo hits the ropes, but runs into a powerslam...only to pop right back up like it was nothing and give Samson a wicked smile. Samson kicks Massimo hard in the stomach to wipe that smile of his face and gives him a press slam. Gutwrench suplex gets two. Spinebuster, but Massimo gets his foot on the ropes. Samson picks Massimo up...BODY VICE. But Massimo rakes Samson in the eyes to escape as the boos rain down.

Massimo unloads with a variety of strikes on the dazed Samson. Inverted atomic drop followed by a gutbuster then Massimo stomps the hell out of Samson in the corner. Massimo hits a reverse splash off the second turnbuckle (Vader Bomb) then a second one.

Mean Massimo pinned Rick Samson with the Mean Machine in 0:07:32.
Rating: ***

After he match, Massimo doesn't seem to be in any mood to celebrate. The crowd boos him and Massimo responds with some obscene gestures as he leaves. Samson seems stunned - not just from his first loss in over a year, but he's also clearly hurting a bit from those two big Mean Machine splashes and being poked in the eyes. It seems like Mean Massimo has found the edge he was looking for.

Street Fight: "The Waxahachie Madman" Bruiser Barton vs "The Tongan Terror" Isilei Kaelo

Both men come out swinging. Barton ducks a kick and hits a back suplex. Barton tries a chokes slam, but Kaelo boots his way out of that. They brawl again until Kaelo headbutts Barton down and chokes away. Kaelo throws Barton into the corner and goes for boot choke, but the Texan ducks the Tongan then shoulderblocks him repeatedly. Barton goes to the top, but Kaelo powerslams him off. He waits for Barton to get up...Kick of Fear...misses!

Both men miss clotheslines then a double clothesline puts both men down. More brawling until Kaelo slams Barton, but his following flying side kick misses. Barton's elbowdrop misses. Suplex sets up a flying splash from Kaelo...which misses. Barton throws Kaelo out of the ring and we go to the floor.

Brawling at ringside with Barton getting sent head-first into the corner post. Kaelo grabs the ring bell and smashes Barton with it. 1...2...3no!

That brings out Taku and Kamu. Million Dollar Stan has send Samoan Storm as insurance! But before they can make it to ringside The Southern Maulers charge out and attack Samoan Storm. The two teams brawl to the back and this match remains one-on-one.

Meanwhile, Barton and Kaelo have gone brawling up an aisle in the crowd. Barton grabs a fire extinguisher and Kaelo gets a face full of foam. With his opponent momentarily blinded, Bruiser turns the extinguisher into a club, repeatedly hitting Kaelo with it until the Tongan finally goes down. Then Barton gives him one last shot to the head. 1...2...3no!

Bruiser seems a little unsure of where to go from there and Kaelo hits a desperation low blow to buy himself time to recover. The two brawl back toward the ring, crashing over chairs in the process. Kaelo repeatedly whips Barton into the ringside guardrail then finally clotheslines him over it. Barton tumbles partly under the ring apron. Kaelo climbs over the guardrail and goes after Bruser, only to get rocked by shot to the head. The Waxahachie Madman has found a chain under the ring! He staggers Kaelo with several shots from the chain, bringing the big Tongan to his knees. Barton backs up, wrapping the chain around his arm. He charges full speed and delivers a monster lariat with the chain. 1...2...3!

Pumphandle facebuster for two. Reese attempts another suplex, but Blast cradles him for two. From there the match devolves into a brawl full of punches, kicks, elbows, and chops.

Cage Match for the WCWF World Heavyweight Title: Randy "The Ram" Robinson (c) vs "Big Bad" Eddie Bearden

They start to lock up, but Bearden kicks Robinson in the midsection and takes him down with a side headlock. Bad idea as the champ has better mat skills. Back on their feet, Robinson whips Bearden into the ropes, but Eddie ducks the big boot and comes back with a kick to the groin. Bearden applies a full nelson, but Robinson fights out. Double axhandle by the champ followed by a back suplex. Randy tries a powerslam, but Bearden blocks it and hits a DDT.
