Seems a bit dumb to use the Starcade name solely for a house show event but then again, The Beast in the East was also just a house show later made into a bigger deal because of the Network.

If WWE was smarter, they would have used the name as a regular PPV tier event and have it as the big show to end the year and/or add an extra month for Road to Mania stuff.

They've already got about 16 or 17 actual PPVs though. They know what they're doing to go to Greensboro and use a WCW PPV name, bring in the hometown Hardy's and add WCW and NWA legends on the advert with Ricky Steamboat and the Rock N Roll Express.

It'll use the cheaper house show set, likely sell out which Live events having been doing (even MSG) and provide content for the Network. Not a bad move all round.

Yeah the decision itself is very smart since its in a former major WCW market. Just personally feels a bit weird they are finally using the Starcade name and turns out its for a house show tier event.

Then again this could also be the start of them having Starcade as a big annual event for the Network sort of like how NXT Takeover shows are.
