12/28 The last show of the year kicks off with new World Champion El Generico celebrating in the ring. Fans are pumped for him being champion. Then S.C.U.M. comes out. Kevin Steen says Generico's win was a fluke and soon he would get his title back. Generico says he will be a champion that defends his title and he will give Steen a rematch any time, any where. The first match was Lio Rush vs. Adam Page. The last two winners of the Top Prospect tournament faced off in a good match that saw Lio Rush come out on top. Generation Next and Backstage Boyz were in tag action next. Sydal and Strong were trying to get back at the Boyz for a loss a few weeks back. It was a back and forth match that ended when Strong tried to make a pin save only to get tossed out of the ring and then the Boyz hit their tag finisher and got the pin. Another win for the Boyz who have been racking them up over last few months.
Another rematch was next as Tommaso Ciampa took on Moose. Their match was Ciampa's first since joining the Bullet Club and losing did not look good for him so he was out to show his value to the Club. From opening bell Tommaso took it to Moose and never let up eventually hitting Project Ciampa to get the win. The main event was another rematch between Bullet Club and Generation Next as their leaders went at it. Austin kicked out of 2 Styles Clash in a row but AJ still got the win.
World Champion: El Generico
Tag Team Champions: Motor City Machine Guns

NWA Georgia Championship Wrestling
12/24 The last show before the Starrcade ppv started with a match between Mil Mascaras and Mike Graham. In a bit of an upset Mike Graham picked up his first televised victory since joining NWA:GCW. Next Larry Henning was in single action as he faced Jimmy Snuka. Jimmy started gaining control until Curt distracted the ref. Then Jimmy Hart hit Snuka with his megaphone. Soon after Larry got the win.
Tracy Smothers and Brutus Beefcake were in the next match. A decent match that saw Beefcake pick up a rare win. In the main event The Machines went up against the Glam Gods in a clash of styles. The Machines used their strength advantage early but The Gods used speed and frequent tags to fight back and pull off a minor upset. Not a good sign for The Machines as they had into their title match at Starrcade.
12/25 Starrcade II ppv:
The show starts with Santa in the ring wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. He says everyone has been good boys and girls so their last gift is going to be an amazing wrestling show. Enjoy.
1) Larry & Curt Henning vs. The Kangaroos - A solid opening match that saw Jimmy Hart try to interfere to no avail and The Kangaroos got the win.
2) Road Warriors vs. Midnight Express (Us Tag Title) In the first of two title defenses for the Warriors the two teams went back and forth gaining control over the other one. Eventually the Warriors were in control and Eaton tried to tag out. Hawk attacked Dennis with both men falling to the floor. Cornette helped Dennis battle Hawk but inside the ring Animal pinned Bobby to successfully defend their titles.
3) Giant Baba vs. Blackjack Mulligan - This match up of big men was not much for technical wrestling but had some wild action. In the end Baba got the win. He has been rolling them up lately and against some top competition.
4) Glad Gods vs. The Russian Bears - These teams have been slowly building a rivalry. Their last match ended in a time limit draw. This one did not as the Gods picked up a quick win. After the match both teams brawled. Looks like they are not done with each other.
5) Ted Dibiase vs. Hillbilly Jim - A couple weeks earlier these two tangled and Jim got the win. It looked like he was on the way to do it again when a mysterious man ran down and attacked him. After that Ted gained control and pick up the win.
6) Road Warriors vs. The Machines (Tag Title) It was time for the 2nd of the Warrior's title matches. Their first opponent was one based on speed and agility while this one is more about power. It resulted in a hard hitting match with both teams giving their all. It looked like the Warriors would win after hitting a Doomsday Device but Death Machine made pin save for Hell's Machine. It just put off the eventual end as a bit later the champs hit another Doomsday Machine and got the win.
7) Randy Savage vs. Bruiser Brody (Title vs. Title) Randy took it too the larger brute early on. Heenan got on the apron to try and distract him but he got knocked off for his trouble and it did not change things. Things did change later when the action spilled to the floor and Brody took control. Both men kicked out of numerous pin attempts but eventually Savage was not able to do so before the three count. Your winner and double champion, Bruiser Brody.
World Champion: Bruiser Brody
Tag Team Champions: Road Warriors

AWA
12/27 Dutch Savage and Harley Race started the show. A real good match that saw Harley Race come out on top. After the win Buddy Rose ran down and attacked Race. In the next match Stan Lane took on Red Bastien. In somewhat of a shocker Lane dominated the action and got an impressive win.
Haas & Benjamin were in tag action against the Love Brothers in the following match. A bit after the action started the Hamilton Wrecking Crew slowly walked down and stood near the ring watching the action. As they did Haas and Benjamin, whoever was standing on the apron waiting to tag in, talked smack to the Crew. In Haas's case he even jawed while in the ring. In the end Haas won via Haas of Pain all while staring down the Crew. After the match the Crew slowly backed up the ramp before turning around and leaving. The main event was Buddy Rogers defending the World Championship against Jimmy Valiant. Rogers slapped on his Figure Four early in the first fall but Valiant worked his way to the rope to get a break. Eventually Rogers got him in it again and this time Jimmy tapped out to go down one fall to none. The second fall was a pretty quick one and Buddy beat him via a piledriver. Buddy won two falls to none.
World Champion: Buddy Rogers
Tag Team Champions: Hit Squad
American Heavyweight Champion: Killer Kowalski
ECW
12/26 The show was titled "Seasons Beatings". The opening match was a quarterfinal match in the X Division tournament between The Shard and 2 Cold Scorpion. The Shard was in trouble early and The Destroyer saved him before the ref made him go back to the back. The action went out of the ring for a bit and both men got in offense. Eventually they got back in the ring and 2 Cold Scorpion got the win to advance. Nice way to make his debut in ECW. The second match was Terry Gordy taking on Rocky Reynolds who came out with out his manager Dark Menace. Maybe if his manager had been there it would have helped but as it is Terry got the win. We see Laeviculus sneaking around in back again trying to spy on Illuminati.
The Mountie had his second match in ECW next as he faced Colt Cabana. Colt was on a roll to start the match but The Mountie fought back and after hitting a short choke slam got the win. When the match was over The Mountie grabbed his shock stick and zapped Colt with it before officials came down and made him stop. The main event was a title match as the Voodoo Kill Mafia took on Demolition. The champs dominated Ax early on before he could finally tag out to Smash. When Mr Fuji was looking to interfere to help his team Al Snow ran down and attacked him. A short time later the VKM got the win.
World Champion: Jon Moxley

CHIKARA
12/23 This show is titled "Christmas Eve...Eve" and starts with an announcement that Jeff Hardy will be taking on Tursas in the main event. If he wins he will get a Grand Championship title shot. Then to the ring for the first match as Rockin' Robin took on Green Ant. Robin got the win over the BDS member. Then it is announced that next week the winner of So You Want To Be A Wrestler, Kenny, will make an appearance as Amber will be interviewing him. We then see Jim Powers getting ready for his match. He talks about losing to Brodie Lee and says Lee got lucky but next time they meet he would beat Lee. Next Claudio Castagnoli made his first in ring appearance since turning on BDS as he faced Jim Powers. During the match Brodie Lee came down, stared at Jim and walked around the ring. Claudio got the win and after the bell Lee walked up the ramp and stood on the top of the stage looking down at the ring. Claudio walked past him and pointed at his eyes and then at Lee in his "I see you" hand gesture much like he did to Ares months ago.
Tag action was next as Naptown Dragons and Hydra & TJ Perkins squared off. The Dragons got the win. Then it was main event time as Jeff Hardy faced Tursas and tried to gain a title match. It was clear Jeff wanted that bad as he dominated his larger opponent. He hit his finisher Swanton Bomb but Tursas kicked out. Jeff hit it again with the same result. However the third time was the charm as Jeff got the win. After the match he hit the turnbuckle and made the belt gesture around his waist.
