'''Starrcade (1985): The Gathering''' aka (The Blooddrive) was the third annual [[WCW Starrcade|Starrcade]] [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]] [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] produced by [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] under the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) banner. It took place on November 28, 1985 from the [[Greensboro Coliseum Complex]] in [[Greensboro, North Carolina]] and [[Omni Coliseum]] in [[Atlanta, Georgia]], with the event going back and forth from both arenas.

The [[Main Event|main event]] was between [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] and [[Dusty Semmler (wrestler)|Dusty Rhodes]] for the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]]. Their [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feud]] escalated when Flair broke Rhodes' ankle in September. After the event, Flair formed the [[Four Horsemen (professional wrestling)|Four Horsemen]] [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Stable|stable]], and continued to feud with Rhodes. Other matches included [[Terrance Bruce Allen|Magnum T.A.]] and [[Tully Blanchard<!--Tully Andriolo-->|Tully Blanchard]] in an [["I Quit" Match|"I Quit"]] [[Professional wrestling match types#Cages|steel cage match]] for the [[IWE United States Championship|NWA United States Heavyweight Championship]], and [[The Rock 'n' Roll Express]] and the team of [[Ivan Koloff|Ivan]] and [[Nikita Koloff]] in a [[Steel Cage Match]] for the [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|NWA World Tag Team Championship]].

In 2014, the [[IWE Network]] included the previous Starrcades ([[NWA Starrcade (1983)|1983]]–[[WCW Starrcade#1986|1986]]), which had been transmitted via [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]], alongside the rest of the Starrcades in the pay-per-view section.

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.
