Wasn't Flair technically a babyface at Starrcade?

Wasn't Flair technically a babyface at Starrcade? I think the OP just meant big moments as babyfaces for wrestlers more famous as heels, but yes, Flair was 100% the babyface. The build up was Harley Race offering a $25,000 bounty, Bob Orton and Dick Slater collecting it by injuring Flair, then Flair returning for revenge.

Ric Flair at Starrcade 83, Rollins winning the title from Brock at mania 35 and beating him clean at Summerslam that year, Orton’s mania win vs Bray at 33 Wouldn't Flair beating Vader at Starrcade 93 also qualify for this topic?

Lex Luger beating Hulk Hogan for the WCW championship on a Monday Nitro in 1997. Too bad he lost it back to him 6 days later.

I remember the build up and was like... did I miss something?

would ziggler's cash-in on del rio qualify? he was still a heel but the reaction for it caused a brief double turn for them both.

There was that weird week where POS top heel Triple H was suddenly booked as a Babyface against Vince for some reason
