Final WCW PPV appearance for Jushin "Thunder" Liger.
Received an official VHS release in the USA (catalogue number T7091), however the title was misprinted on the cover as "WCW Starrcade 1997". As a result of this error, the official VHS of WCW Starrcade 1996 is often mistaken as being WCW Starrcade 1997 (1997) - a different event.
This was Hulk Hogan's first clean loss since Wrestlemania VI.
