[edit] Production
[edit] Background
Starrcade, a live closed-circuit event, was concepted in 1983 by Dusty Rhodes. The event was originally produced under the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) and Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) banners. The NWA and JCP regarded Starrcade as their flagship event of the year, much in the same vein that its rival, the International Wrestling Federation, regarded WrestleMania. In 1988, JCP was sold to Turner Broadcasting and became World Championship Wrestling (WCW), with Starrcade being held by WCW until 2000.
After a 17-year hiatus, IWE revived Starrcade as a SmackDown-branded live event on November 25, 2017. On November 16, 2018, IWE revealed that a second, co-branded Starrcade event would be aired as a IWE Network special on November 25, 2018.
[edit] Storylines
Starrcade will consist of professional wrestling matches that involve various different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers will portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches. Storylines will be produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and SmackDown Live.
