I watched it for the first time last month when the theme for March on WWE 24/7 was about Tournaments, which Starrcade 89 was. The problem is that it's boring and forgettable. In fact, if you watch the Starrcade doc on the DVD the WWE released a few months back, they spend about a minute talking about it, tops. There is a reason.
First of all, the scoring system, while not complicated in theory, you would still need a pad of paper and pencil to keep track yourself.
I also don't think the people who won the tournament got anything. At least with the Crockett Cups (whose tapes have played on WWE 24/7 recently and boy, talk about a poorly produced home videos those were. They definately need induction, also) you got a million dollars and a trophy.
Also, I know Doom was a replacement for a another team (I forget who it was. Don't care either). But who did they piss of to lose EVERY match?
Secondly, the storyline with The Great Muta is that he was undefeated going in. So what did they do. They have him lose to Ric Flair in about a minute. In fact, I'm pretty sure he loses all his matches also.
There are also a couple of other matches there outside the tournaments. But they're forgettable. In fact, I don't even remember what they were.
Just a bad show all around.
