* ToughActToFollow: ''Starrcade'' '86 drew a million dollars at the gate, which was unprecedented for [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome a wrestling promotion in the Americas]] and wouldn't be seen again until CMLL's 81st anniversary show in 2014. Unfortunately, JCP went bankrupt in 1988. Big shows don't make up for the fact JCP had helped the destroy the territorial system which made the NWA thrive. There's also the fact [[Wrestling/VinceMcMahon Vince McMahon Jr.]] set out to ensure ''Starrcade'' '87 would be a flop by intimidating all but five cable companies into not carrying it by way of PartySchedulingGambit, which was especially damaging since JCP intentionally sacrificed another shot at a big gate for a better looking pay-per-view.

** June Byers, whom Wrestling/TheFabulousMoolah claimed was sleeping with promoter Billy Wolfe to get better bookings. There is still a {{broken base}} here, with one half stating she was inferior than Mildred Burke and that is why her push coincided with the decline of women's wrestling in the fifties while the other points out she was still over and claims she was a revolutionary, preferring to blame any perceived declines on chauvinists who were taking hold of the USA during her reign. Regardless, Burke being kicked out of the NWA and three title changes being ignored in June's favor puts Byers squarely in this category, especially when one of those title changes was a catalyst in the WWWF breaking away from the NWA. This came to an end when the Baltimore Athletic Commission stripped her of the belt when she tried to retire as champion.
