There wasn't a lot to write home about from Starrcade
#2 Worst: Not giving us the bigger matches

So these are the Starrcade 2019 match card so far:New Day vs The Revival SD Tag Title Dark Match.Nakamura & Zayn vs Miz Handicap IC Title Dark MatchSeth vs Rowan Dark MatchRoman vs CorbinThe Fiend vs Strowman UC Title Steel Cage Dark MatchK.O. Show with Flair as Guest. pic.twitter.com/JJLcVxWtrW
How can you have The Fiend vs. Braun Strowman in the Starrcade match card and not televise it? If the purpose is to get people to tune in to the WWE Network and watch a special event, then it makes all the sense in the world to give them a match they would be invested in and would ideally want to watch.
Randy Orton and AJ Styles were on the card too as were Seth Rollins and Rowan, in a singles match. It almost seems like WWE picked the three least exciting matches in the card and showcased them to us, on the Network.

Bear in mind that Starrcade used to be WCW's biggest pay-per-view and so, it still has a lot of brand recall. A card this weak will only result in the interest in the brand name diminishing every single week.
