Longtime fans will remember Starrcade as WCW’s signature pay-per-view event of the year. The first-ever Starrcade event went down on November 24, 1983, was held at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina. The last edition of Starrcade under the WCW banner took place in December 2000.

WWE brought back the theme for a live event at the Greensboro Coliseum last November. With it being held a few days after Survivor Series, it will likely just be a house show and not turned into a special that would air on the WWE Network.
