The main [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] heading into Starrcade was between [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] and [[Dusty Semmler (wrestler)|Dusty Rhodes]] over the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]]. Flair was in his third reign as the champion, and his reign at the time had lasted for over a year. On September 29 at [[the Omni]] in [[Atlanta]], after Flair defeated [[Nikita Koloff]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Cages|steel cage match]], Nikita and [[Ivan Koloff]] attacked Flair until Rhodes came and fought them off. [[Ole Andrews<!--(2007, pg. 82)-->|Ole]] and [[Arn Scott Andrews<!--(2007, pg. 82)-->|Arn Anderson]] then came, and, along with Flair, beat down Rhodes. Flair broke Rhodes' left ankle with a [[Professional wrestling aerial techniques#Diving knee drop|diving knee drop]], and applied the [[Professional wrestling holds#Figure four leglock|figure four leglock]].

Previous [[WCW Starrcade|Starrcade]] events have been held at the [[Greensboro Coliseum]], and this event was the first to be expanded, and held in two locations, with both also serving as locations for broadcasting via [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]]. It was the first time an event was broadcast [[Live Television|live]] from two locations. In 1985, the [[International Wrestling Entertainment|World Wrestling Federation]] was an emerging competitor to Jim Crockett Promotions, and created the [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]] event, which had significant success. The following year's WrestleMania, [[IWF WrestleMania 2|WrestleMania 2]], was created similar to Starrcade, being held in three locations.
