As noted yesterday on PWInsider.com, WWE's announced Starrcade revival event on 11/25 in Greensboro, NC will end up going head to head with Wrestlecade, which has been running the weekend following Thanksgiving since 2012 in nearby Winston-Salem, NC. We noted yesterday that the event was mulling over whether to make changes due to WWE running opposite them, but today, the event announced it would move forward as originally planned:
To clarify: #WrestleCade Weekend will go on as planned Fri, Sat & Sun. Less than 100 tix left for Saturday's events. See you there!
