'''Starrcade (1986): Night of the Skywalkers''' was the fourth 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]] (JCP) under the [[National Wrestling Alliance]] (NWA) banner. It took place on November 27, 1986 from the [[Greensboro Coliseum Complex]] in [[Greensboro, North Carolina]] and [[Omni Coliseum]] in [[Atlanta|Atlanta, Georgia]].
+
-
 
+
-
The main event saw [[NWA World Heavyweight Championship|NWA World Heavyweight Champion]] [[Ric Meyer|Ric Flair]] put the championship on the line against the [[WCW United States Heavyweight Championship|NWA United States Champion]] [[Nikita Koloff]] in a rare for the time champion-vs-champion match. The dual location saw six matches take place in each location, with the Greensboro Coliseum main event being a [[steel cage match]] between defending [[WCW World Tag Team Championship|NWA World Tag Team Champion]] [[The Rock 'n' Roll Express]] ([[Loren Higgins|Ricky Morton]] and [[Robert Kelly (wrestler)|Robert Gibson]]) defended the championship against the Andersons ([[Arn Scott Andrews<!--(2007, pg. 82)-->|Arn]] and [[Ole Andrews<!--(2007, pg. 82)-->|Ole]]). The "Skywalkers" tag line came from one of the featured matches of the show where [[The Road Warriors]] wrestled [[The Midnight Express (professional wrestling)|The Midnight Express]] in a [[Professional wrestling match types#Scaffold match|scaffold match]] with both team fighting atop a 20 foot tall scaffold erected across the top of the ring.

+

Highlights of the show was shown on JCP's weekly television shows and an edited version of the show was later available for purchase or rental on [[VHS]] tape. With the launch of the [[IWE Network]] in 2014 all [[Closed-Circuit Television||closed-circuit]] [[WCW Starrcade|Starrcade]]s ([[NWA Starrcade (1983)|1983]] through [[WCW Starrcade#1986|1986]]) alongside the subsequent Starrcade shows appear in the [[Pay-Per-View|pay-per-view]] section. The IWE Network versions of the shows were not edited for content but did replace some entrance music due to [[Copyright|copyright]] issues. At 4 hours, this Starrcade is the longest in history.

===Background===
+
-
From the 1960s to the 1980s, it was tradition for the NWA member JCP 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 throughout 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 Super Bowl|Super Bowl]] event featuring their most important storyline [[Feud (professional wrestling)|feuds]] and championship matches. The 1986 event was the fourth show to use the Starrcade name, and the last event to take place in two different locations at once.
+
-
 
+
-
===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.
+
-
 
+
-
[[Terrance Bruce Allen|Magnum T.A.]] was originally scheduled to face Ric Flair at the 1986 Starrcade, but was left temporarily paralyzed and had to end his wrestling career as a result of a car accident. The NWA decided to have [[Nikita Koloff]], who was engaged in a feud with [[Ron Garvin<!--Roger Travis Barnes (1964, pg. 29)-->|Ronnie Garvin]] at the time, turn face as a result and took Magnum T.A.'s place in the main event of the show.
