Why does Starrcade have two r's in it?
Why does Starrcade have two r's in it?
So the gameshow called Starcade couldn't sue them.
Or the bit of Disneyland called Starcade. Probably them, out of the two; but the internet seems set on legal issues.
Really?
What a bunch of useless twats.
The original 1983 poster spells it with one, but by 1984 they have shoved an extra one in, so somebody definitely nobbled them.
No-one leaving that company has anything good to say about it, given that they look to have alienated the public faces of their most successful enterprise I'm inclined to believe them.
Seems pretty official to me.

Adam Pacitti is a poor man's Danny Wallace. Which makes him a third-rate Dave Gorman.
EDIT: Okay, Simon's the only one left. Him and his big bastard arms.
Jinder called Nakamura 'Mr Miyagi' in his promo on Smackdown this week, apparently leading to 'that's too far' chants
He's also been turning Ls into Rs a few times.
I suppose it's nice that they're managing to do even worse than the Jinder / Randy feud, defying expectations and all that.
Nakamura got no response at all last week and this week basically gets "yeah but he won't be laughing when I beat him!" Cracking booking.
No Mercy has been excellent so far. Cena v Reigns is about to start, so let's hope that lives up to expectations.
And the last 3 matches were all dogshit.
lol at Baroque Lesnar winning with one finisher after taking three of them.
Cesaro smashing his teeth to bits was a bit gruesome.
The tag match was good and I thought Miz / Jordan was decent. Everything else was somewhere between meh and bollocks. O'Shango and Wyatt just don't have anything, the womens match was a load of throwaway nothingness, Reigns / Cena got bored of doing a match about five minutes in and put on a proper, spotty snoozefest, fucking ENZO and then whatever you think of Boatman they've sacrificed months of making him look invincible at the altar of Brock Lesnar's work ethic.
Enzo being a champion in any division is
Wasn't he and Cass doomed to fail getting the tag ones?
Juice Robinson v Kenny Omega was Juice's first big performance that makes him very credible at the top of the card. He can definitely take a stiff bump.
Was that the match with a Super OWA? That looked fucking mad.
Yeah off the middle rope. Absolute madness!
I've flicked through Raw, and I have to say, the final segment with Amore, Neville and the Cruiserweights was really good.
It sounds like double turn territory, and actually, I reckon Amore might end up getting over as a heel because want to see him get pulverised.
Yeah, I enjoyed that too.
I also thought it was a remarkably sensible bit of booking for Strowman to follow up from last night and Ambrose can take the loss without suffering much. Dunno what he does once he beats Rollins next week though.
And finally.... are we really heading towards Shield vs. Miztourage at TLC?
Yeah, helped by subtly going from nothing to about 400 Shield references in three hours. It only makes sense if there's something after that as it seems a bit of a waste to use it on Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel.
I liked the Cruiserweight thing, seemed like Neville being promoted back to normal programming. I'd give Mustafa Ali a go, he could be big if they give him a chance and don't suddenly remember he represents Pakistan so give him a taxi driver gimmick or something.
Nah, you get a Jinder feud going for one last shot at THE MARKET.
Neville absolutely should be wrestling the big boys again.
After Raw last night, it’s looking like it’s going to be The Shield vs Sheamus, Cesaro and The Miz at TLC.
I wondered how they could sell the match when Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel are on one side of it, never even occurred to me that the two guys already in a tag title feud would be involved despite it being the most obvious thing in the world now.
I dunno what their best match was, that TLC debut one or the other one at the Chamber in 2013 against Cenah, Shitmus and Raiback.
Both equably decent in my opinion.
The tag match with the Rhodes family is a favourite of mine too, one of those where it's an ace match in an otherwise terrible PPV.
The stories for both of those matches were good as well - I think we all thought Cena’s team was going over in the first because Wrestlemania vs Rock was the next month.
Cody had some pretty good gimmicks in his time, didn’t he? I reckon Stardust would have had legs if he’d been given a chance to push on. I liked when he used to put brown bags on people’s heads.
Dashing Cody Rhodes was amazing, the bags, the incredible moustache everything about it was great.
He wanted to be Stardust on one brand and Cody Rhodes on the other, instead they put him in a sparkly cupboard with the Ascension.
Proper good heel tactics, right there. There was also Team Rhodes Scholars, The Legacy and that promo video put together to show how shit Big Show was at Wrestlemania over the years.

So long as they stop short of that weird Hog Wild PPV where bikers would pay nothing and be racist at Harlem Heat just because Eric Bischoff bought a Harley.
Shield vs. Miz/ Sheamus / Cesaro is a much better prospect, but it's amusing that they're having to ignore the logic and hurriedly cobble together a common threat for them to unite against.
Was that the 2 v 2 where Goldust and Cody would get fired or was there another one? The tag was brilliant.
I think they were already fired but this one got their jobs back, there was another one where they won the titles but I can't remember much about it. It stands out because of how crap the PPV around it really was too. Everything about it from the buildup, pre-match promo and then Dusty breaking out the bionic elbow, magic.
Just checked via Wikipedia / this thread, the one I'm thinking of got them reinstated and was at Battleground '13. Great match.
I hope the final segment of Smackdown was there, in accompaniment with a win on Sunday, to make Owens look like a bastard. Because if it's going by typical WWE booking rules and Shane somehow wins then lol.
Shane never wins though does he?
Not really, he's probably taking the Vinnie Mac role of feeding his own ego while mostly getting twatted but I still have the fear after they decided to have him outwrestle AJ.
Shane just jumped off the cell again and it looked like an awful landing. Nowhere near as cushioned as his Wrestlemania leap.
I don't really like the gimmick PPVs as the matches seem shoehorned in but that tag match was ace. Nakamura's a lost cause now unless they arrange a Japan tour to follow up the trip to India.
They might as well rip up his contract so he can head back tp Japan.
What a waste.
Ugh, I don't want to watch.
I think this will be the end of my Network sub, the library is great and I love NXT but the dross that is the main roster is so bad. A decent match or two on a PPV is not enough, literally everything that's piqued my interest over the last year or so has been a raging disappointment.
I've been getting LAST CHANCE renewal (I only had a trial) e-mails every week for about three months.
