On Saturday, November 25th, during Thanksgiving weekend, Starrcade will return when SmackDown Live's Superstars hit the Greensboro Coliseum for a special WWE Live event.
The premier event of the NWA and, later, WCW, Starrcade got its start in Greensboro on Thanksgiving 1983 with a star-studded lineup that saw Ric Flair defeat Harley Race to win his second of 16 World Championships. Starrcade remained in Greensboro through 1986 and was a stage for legendary performers like Dusty Rhodes, The Four Horsemen, Magnum TA, and The Rock ‘n’ Roll Express.
Later, a new generation of competitors emerged to take the Starrcade spotlight, like Sting, Vader and the nWo. The last edition of Starrcade under took place in December 2000.
Now, fans in the area are going to be treated to a special WWE Live event - not a televised PPV as of right now - which features a stacked card and some very exciting guest appearances!
