Starrcade is typically WCW's top show of the year, but it is also the show whose format has been tweaked with the most for that company.

Clash of the Champions 1


Live from Greensboro, NC. Jim Ross and Tony Schiavone on commentary

This show of course was Jim Crockett Promotion's response to the WWF previously counter-programming its pay-per-views. The COTC ran opposite the Wrestlemania IV ppv on TBS. I was watching both promotions back then, but was at a church bowling outing when they were on. I think I heard about Randy Savage winning the WWF title on ESPN that day.
