It should be noted that WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes conceived Starrcade in 1983.
WWE has revived several WCW events in the past, and Starrcade is the most recent addition to the list. The biggest WCW event of the year, Starrcade was brought back as a SmackDown Live event two years ago.
Tonight's event was a co-branded show featuring Superstars from both RAW and SmackDown Live. Cody Rhodes posted a tweet as a reaction to tonight's event, which can be seen below -

Wondered why I was having such an introspective day. Then I saw Starrcade was happeningGone from this Earth but undeniably Dad has had such a positive influence on pro-wrestling the last few yearsIt’s wonderful. He believed in making moments that lasted. Live forever Dream!💛
The original Starrcade was produced as an NWA show and was the biggest event of the year for the promotion, much like WWE's WrestleMania. In 1988, Turner Broadcasting bought Jim Crockett Promotions, and Starrcade turned into a WCW event. The final Starrcade was held in 2000, with WCW being bought by Vince McMahon soon after.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
