– While things can change, the current plan is for the WWE Starrcade live event in Greensboro, NC to be merely a house show and not air on the WWE Network. It’s believed that WWE is using the Starrcade name as a way to draw fans away from the WrestleCade convention. The convention takes place the same weekend and is only 30 miles away from Greensboro in Winston-Salem, NC. The WrestleCade Twitter account re-tweeted several messages from fans that are showing support for the convention including this one:
Little Doubt #WWE is bringing back #Starcade to try compete with #wrestlecade. as for me this is where i will be>> https://t.co/Su3SV75E8s pic.twitter.com/4IlBL8fpvu
