The 2000 Starrcade was the 18th annual Starrcade professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Championship Wrestling (WCW). 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.[4] Another Starrcade event would not be produced for another seventeen years, when WWE used the name for a special live event in 2017.
The main event was between Scott Steiner and Sid Vicious for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. Shortly after Steiner won the title at Mayhem, the previous pay-per-view event, Vicious was scheduled to face Steiner for the title at Starrcade. Their feud continued after the event until Sin, the following event, when a severe injury forced Vicious to leave professional wrestling.[5] The event also included a tag team match between The Perfect Event and The Insiders for the WCW World Tag Team Championship and a match between Lex Luger and Goldberg.[1]
In 2015, all WCW pay-per-views were made available on the WWE Network.
