Really love the blacked out crowd. Keeps the main focus on what’s going on inside the ring. Very old school feel to it.

Still dont understand why Starrcade, an NWA/WCW/Southern wrestling staple, is in Ohio Most of our cities do really well for wwe? The towns they run here are usually pretty high on their list of "good" crowds. And short of the 4 drunk idiots that were in the row in front of me, the show was really fun. Only thing I wanted to see was maybe a few more people to show up there had been in a few Starcades.

Survivor Series- Ohio, Wrestlemania- New York, SummerSlam-California.....When I think Starrcade Im looking at North Carolina or Georgia...not Ohio. Ohio was never exactly a hot spot for JCP

It was taped Saturday night and I went. It was a really good show. Not everything made the network. Only an hour of a 3.5 hour show was aired. Started with Elias. They cut most of Flair. He was pointing out girls in the front row saying they all want to get with Elias. Saying stuff like Elias can have any girl he wants except for Charlotte. After the women 4 on 4 was Finn and Drew. Finn missed with the coup de grace and Drew hit the claymore for the win. Revival vs B Team with B team getting the win. Bar beat New Day. Corbin came out and said Braun isn’t here tonight because of the beating he gave him Monday and challenged anyone in the back. Bray Wyatt answered the challenge. Lengthy back and forth match with Bray getting the win by roll up. Corbin said that didn’t count and restarted the match with a no DQ stip and called Ziggler and Drew out. The 3 beat up Bray until Finn and Elias came out to help. Elias hit a jumping knee, Finn the coup de grace, and Bray sister Abigail for the win. Asuka Charlotte wrestled a decent match with Charlotte winning by a roll up or small package (I think). Even though Charlotte cut a heel promo before the match she hugged Asuka after the match and they showed mutual respect. Miz TV, then Shinsuke vs Rey that turned into Rusev/Rey vs Miz/Shinsuke was next with the faces getting the win. AJ Joe cage match after that with AJ tapping out Joe. Main Event was Seth vs Dean in the cage. Definitely match of the night. Wish this aired on the network but understand why it didn’t. Seth got the win with climbing out the cage and kicking the door closed spot we’ve seen numerous times.

Not really sure why they aired this a day later and only an hour. It's only a house show with a name to it I know, and meant nothing, but just strange.

Watched it this morning and found it pretty meh, just your normal house show. I’m surprised there isn’t a lot of discussion about this considering WF was overly pissed that the Starrcade event last year wasn’t being shown on the Network.

I don't understand why it was only an hour. It seems like what they DIDN'T show was better than what they DID show.
I would have much rather seen McIntyre vs Balor, Charlotte vs Asuka, and Seth vs Dean in a cage match.

Ohio was never exactly a hot spot for JCP Ah, Survivor Series and the Cleveland/Northeast Ohio area. I remember going to '87,'88, and '92 at the Richfield Coliseum (my office is less than 2 miles from where it used to stand, I went to countless WWF events, Circus, Disney on Ice, and Cavs games (saw Jordan play us there AND Shaq play us there) there. And Survivor Series '04 at the Q (formerly the Gund)

They can’t really show a cage match between Ambrose/Rollins whilst building to a match at TLC if you think about it, regardless whether we know it happened, showing it would take a lot away from the I.C match next month.

I think it was fair for what it was. A free show on the Network that you had no obligation to watch. They should do that more often.
I also think they cut down what aired to not ruin what happens on TV. We know we're about to get Dean & Seth, so why give it away now? We know we're probably getting Drew & Finn soon, so why waste it? Bray will probably return VERY soon, so why ruin it? It's smart really.

I think this was a good show, and looked great. A nice break from the way WWE usually shows their televised events. The only thing I would have changed is to either have no commentary or not have the commentators not beat us over the head with ALL that info during the woman's tag team match about stuff that had nothing to do with that match. They should have just called the action, or had no commentary at all. And if they weren't going to properly pass through the live audio to the final production, then just don't do any talking segments, the echoing was a bit annoying. But other than that, it was cool. I'd like to see WWE do more of these, but just not stick to storylines. Just have random great house shows and tape them for the network. They could bring back other old names, like This Tuesday In Texas.

It was a nice show and I honestly thought that 1 hour made it simple and less exhausting.
My main gripe however was Joe losing to AJ yet again. There was no title for AJ to retain so surely giving Joe the win wouldn't have been a huge deal.

Cool stuff; I love house shows and wish they would make more available. Even if they need to omit the PPV practiice Bouts; its still fun.
Btw, i kinda dig the nakamura outfit but i feel bad for him, it looks so uncomfortable

I would take a million of these one hour specials. They are fun, straight to the point and do not feel like a chore to watch. Was it the greatest show? Nope it was not, but it was entertaining and filled an hour.

I didn't really find this special in any way but the name. Meh to the whole thing. But it is just a house show so don't know what I was expecting.
