And I’m Like… (Going Old School at Starrcade 1983) Part 1 of 3

Hello, hello.. I was going to do a history on Starrcade and how it came about. Basically Jim Crockett Promotions wanted a supercard show. Crockett brought Dusty Rhodes in to book the event. NWA was the top promotion in the world for professional wrestling, but they had stiff competition with WWF and AWA. WWF a few years earlier sold a large amount of tickets and made a half million dollar gate for Zbyszko vs. Sammartino at Shea Stadium. Then I found this website and it gave a very comprehensive history. I suggest you click and read when you get a chance because there are some good nuggets of information on that site.
