Welcome to PWInsider.com's coverage of WWE Starrcade, live from the Greensboro Coliseum!
LIVE NOTES:
They have Starrcade ring aprons, but beyond that it's the typical house show production and crew. No TV level lighting rig. No steel cage hanging above the ring, so they will have to take an intermission to set them up.
They produced two shirts for the event. One that shows the current card and another that is a B&W throwback shirt to Starrcade '83 featuring Harley Race and Ric Flair on the front and a Starrcade '83 logo on the back.
They are also selling a throwback poster featuring Harley Race vs. Ric Flair from 1983's Starrcade.
STARRCADE:
Lots of nostalgia in the videos playing before the matches, including a shout out to Dusty Rhodes for creating Starrcade.
Throwback video intro screens for the matches.
Bobby Roode vs. Dolph Ziggler.
Arn Anderson is the Special Enforcer. Anderson tried to stop Ziggler from using a chair and gets decked for his efforts. Arn comes back into the ring to challenge Ziggler.
ANDERSON HITS A SPINEBUSTER ON ZIGGLER! He tells Dolph "Welcome to Horsemen country!" Roode finishes the job with his DDT.
Your winner, Bobby Roode!
Such a surreal and amazing moment for me to share the same ring tonight with one of my all time favorites... a mentor and a man who will always have the best spine buster in the business #ArnAnderson #Respect #Starrcade #Glorious pic.twitter.com/4jGNCQBDhz
