Starrcast isn't even an AEW thing is it? Just a Conrad Thompson thing. That and Conrad was working with WWE with his show being on the network.

The WWE, they'll want you to fulfill prior booking commitments unless it's with someone they don't like, then screw them and you.

Takes probably did it just to get more money any way.

I think they are letting the fans down. One of their main excuses for going to Saudi Arabia after the brutal murder by the regime is that "they didn't to hurt the fans." I guess its a different standard when it comes to a legends convention with an association with a small business that MIGHT compete.

I wasn't aware that Angle signed a new deal, but once I read that the Undertaker had... I expected something like this to be forthcoming.
On a somewhat unrelated note, I keep wondering how much longer they're going to allow Bruce to do the podcast. I know, after he initially signed with the WWE as a consultant it was under the caveat that he could continue to do the podcast, but I've always felt like it was just a matter of time until they requested that he stop doing it.

They advertised him as "The Undertaker" to appear at a convention and didn't expect WWE to pull him just for that alone? The people running the convention (Conrad, etc.) do know that WWE owns the rights to The Undertaker name, right?

Conrad should have booked Undertaker's non-union Mexican equivalent, The Dead Man experience.

Undertaker I can understand, but it's weird that they'd be territorial over Angle just because it doesn't feel like they even really care about him that much.

Taker is one of the few (living) legends I have never met. I was REALLY looking forward to that at Starrcast 2. f*** you, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. f*** you 1,000 times over.

Conrad has f***ing balls. He really ain't scared of shit. I love him for that. Conrad has no reason to be scared. He is a self made millionaire who does wrestling stuff as a hobby. Unlike everyone else in wrestling he doesn't need Vince or his bullshit. If \ when Conrad gets tired or bored with all this he will go back to his highly successful day job.

I think we are already coming to that point. Conrad said on both WHW and STWW last week that going forward they would only be doing STWW when both he and Bruce's schedules permitted. They are currently in the process of creating clip shows.

Vince's insane viewpoint of everything and everyone as competition to him is both stupid and understandable.
It's understandable because the indies are booming and a lot of that is because of people taking their money from WWE and putting it elsewhere.
It's ridiculous because he's not competing with these f***ing people. AEW are the closest to real competition WWE have had in years apparently and they've not even run a show yet.

Just saw where Conrad is hyping that Magee vs Hart will be shown at Starrcast with both there. If thats what WWE sent him in exchange thats interesting.
