| - | ===Background===
| + | |
| - | From the 1960s to the 1980s, it was tradition for [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] (JCP), a member of the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA), to hold major [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] events at Thanksgiving and [[Christmas]], often at the [[Greensboro Coliseum]] in [[Greensboro]], [[North Carolina]] in the center of JCP's [[Virginia]], North and [[South Carolina]] territory. In 1983, JCP created Starrcade as their [[Card (Sports)|supercard]] to continue the Thanksgiving tradition, bringing in wrestlers from other NWA affiliates and broadcasting the show in its territory on [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]]. Starrcade soon became the flagship event of the year for JCP and highlighted their most important [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feuds]] and championship matches. In 1987 the show became available by nationwide [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] as were all subsequent Starrcade shows. The Starrcade tradition was continued by [[World Championship Wrestling (WCW)|World Championship Wrestling]] (WCW), into which JCP was transformed after it had been sold to [[Ted Turner]] in 1988. The 1995 event was the thirteenth show to use the Starrcade name and was the second Starrcade to take place in the [[Nashville Municipal Auditorium]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee]].

Wrestlers portrayed [[Heel (professional wrestling)|villains]], [[Face (professional wrestling)|heroes]], or [[Glossary of professional wrestling terms#Tweener|less distinguishable characters]] in the scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
