Low key though..... the only reason the E even did this was probably to take some steam from this annual event in my hometown called WRESTLECADE.
https://www.wrestlecade.com/
For atleast the past 5 years or so in Winston-Salem, NC we have at our convention center this 3 day wrestling convention thing that brings in a lot of stars from the past and indies and people from all over the triad (and really where ever) travel to.
My boy that is an indie wrestler always goes to this himself to both wrestle when he can, network with other wrestlers, and sell his merch.
So it feels like its no secret that the E would book a house show just 30 mins away in another city (Greensboro, NC) at the same date and time then name it one of its more popular themed events to everyone in this region at the same historical venue its been before to kinda take its shine.
I still know more people in my hometown that stayed for Wrestlecade but my friends from Gboro were split and a few did go to Starcade. Will be interesting to see if the E continues to do this, cuz this the first time there has ever been a conflict. But low key, Wrestlecade has been pretty big down here and growing. Last year a bunch of the guys from LuchaUnderground and ROH was here and WWE guys like a Booker T normally come.
