'''Starrcade (1984): The Million Dollar Challenge''' was a major [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]] [[List of NWA/WCW closed-circuit events and pay-per-view events|event]] that was produced by [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] (JCP) under the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) banner. It took place on November 22, 1984 at the [[Greensboro Coliseum Complex]] in [[Greensboro, North Carolina]]. The main event of the show was billed as "the Million Dollar Challenge" as the storyline was that the winner of the match would not only win the [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship]] but also win a $1,000,000 purse, part of the illusion that [[Professional Wrestling|professional wrestling]] was a legitimate sporting competition. The main event saw champion "The Nature Boy" [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] defend the championship against long time rival "The American Dream" [[Dusty Semmler (wrestler)|Dusty Rhodes]], with boxer [[Joe Frazier]] acting as the special guest referee for the match. The show also saw the championship matches for the [[NWA United States Championship]], [[NWA World Television Championship]], [[NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship]], [[NWA Brass Knuckles Championship (Mid-Atlantic version)|NWA Brass Knuckles Championship]] and [[NWA Mid-Atlantic Heavyweight Championship]].

In 2014, the [[IE 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.

===Background===
+
-
From the 1960s to the 1980s, it was tradition for the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) member [[Jim Crockett Promotions]] (JCP) to hold major [[Professional Wrestlingprofessional 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 its territory on [[Closed-Circuit Television|closed-circuit television]]. Starrcade soon became the flagship event of the year for JCP (later [[World Championship Wrestling]], WCW), their [[NFL SuperBowl|Super Bowl]] event featuring their most important storyline [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feuds]] and championship matches. The 1984 event was the second show to use the Starrcade name.

===Storylines===

The Starrcade show featured a number of [[Professional wrestling match types|professional wrestling matches]] with different wrestlers involved in pre-existing, scripted feuds, plots, and storylines. Wrestlers were portrayed as either [[Heel (professional wrestling)|heels]] (those that portray the "bad guys") or [[Face (professional wrestling)|faces]] (the "good guy" characters) as they followed a series of tension-building events, which culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
