Starrcade 85

By Scott Keith on 27 February 2014

Hey Scott,

Long time reader occasional commenter. I've been pushing through a lot of old PPVs on the WWE network, mostly WCW stuff from the 80s because I grew up a WWF kid. If NWA/WCW had a show that ran in the metro Detroit area at that time I never saw it, most likely because I didn't get cable until 90-91 I think. Then I fell out of wrestling around 92 for a while. I didn't come back to it until the Attitude era started when I was a senior in high school (you'd call that grade 12). So really to me anything before 98 in WCW/NWA I've only read about or seen on DVD. Anyway I'm watching Starrcade 85 and holy crap are there a lot of titles. I thought WWE after the buyout was bad. My question is: what's the hierarchy? Is the National title above the US title? It looked like there were three sets of tag titles, National, US and World. Where does the Mid-South title fit in? Just curious. Hope you got your streaming issues straightened out. I've found it works best for me on my Apple TV.

Yeah, Apple TV is not an option here in Canada. I'd like to get one anyway, but the Network was removed from them Monday afternoon.
It goes World – US – National – TV on the singles titles, and World – US – National on the tag titles as well. The Mid-South was a regional title, which would put it below the US title.
And the streaming is working fine tonight, so fingers crossed. Although tonight is NXT night anyway, so that's Hulu.
