It took place on December 17, 2000, at the MCI Center in Washington, D.C.[3] This was the final Starrcade event produced by WCW, as it was purchased by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in March 2001.

The main event was between Scott Steiner and Sid Vicious for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

The main feud heading into Starrcade was between Scott Steiner and Sid Vicious over the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

[8] Another feud was between the Perfect Event and the Insiders (Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash) over the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

[9] At Mayhem, the Insiders won the title, but were stripped of it on the December 4 edition of Nitro due to a technicality concerning the ending of the match.

[8] On the October 2 edition of Nitro, Vince Russo, an authority figure, made Goldberg begin an undefeated streak.

If Goldberg exceeded his previous streak of over 170 matches, he would be awarded a shot at the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

[10] Goldberg continued his streak, and Lex Luger challenged him on the October 30 edition of Nitro, starting their feud.

[13] The first match was a ladder match between the members of the tag teams 3 Count (Shane Helms and Shannon Moore), The Jung Dragons (Yun Yang and Kaz Hayashi) and the team of Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias.

At the end of the match, the Jung Dragons, Knoble and Karagias were sent off the scaffold, leaving 3 Count.

Funk fought back with chair shots, and pinned Crowbar after a piledriver on the car door to win the match and the title.

The fourth match was between KroniK (Brian Adams and Bryan Clark) and the team of Big Vito and Reno.

The sixth match was between Shane Douglas and General Rection for the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship.

The seventh match was a Bunkhouse Street Fight between The Filthy Animals (Konnan, Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman) (accompanied by Tygress) and the team of Jeff Jarrett and the Harris Brothers.

The eighth match was between the Insiders (Diamond Dallas Page and Kevin Nash) and the Perfect Event (Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak) for the WCW World Tag Team Championship.

Nash performed a big boot to Palumbo, and pinned him after a Jackknife Powerbomb to win the match and the title.

Bagwell attacked Bruce outside as Goldberg pinned Luger after a spear and a Jackhammer to win the match.

The main event was between Sid Vicious and Scott Steiner for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

The match started back and forth until they went outside the ring, and Midajah, who accompanied Steiner, attacked Vicious with a lead pipe.

Vicious fought back after Midajah accidentally performed a diving crossbody to Steiner.

The feud, however, came to an end immediately after Sin as Sid suffered a severe compound fracture of his left leg during the match after performing a move off the top rope; the injury led to his retirement from full-time competition and he did not wrestle again for three years.

He lost his title to Booker T on the last edition of WCW Monday Nitro held eight days after his match with Page.

Most, however, did not stay; Nash left the company in 2003 after an injury-filled campaign, with Steiner leaving in early 2004 after failing to sustain his WCW success and Goldberg only spending one largely uneventful year in WWE despite winning the World Heavyweight Championship (until his return to WWE in 2016).

Hall was fired shortly after signing with the company due to an incident involving public drunkenness on an airplane, and Hogan made sporadic appearances after 2003 before departing altogether in 2009 for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
