It's the Saturday after Survivor Series, on Thanksgiving weekend. Greensboro Coliseum website is calling it WWE Live presents Starrcade: that is to say it's a house show. The name is just a ticket selling gimmick.

I would assume selling more tickets was the objective in naming the original 1983 show: 'Starrcade'.

In what I am assuming is a first, Chris Jericho is hosting a 'rock & wrestling' cruise next year with live bands and live wrestling, which I think will be the first wrestling to take place on a cruise ship.

There's been cruises featuring bands for years, but that's the first time I've known there to be wrestling on one too. I'm imagining the bands involved will be Fozzy and whoever else Jericho is mates with.

Never heard of the WCW Bruise Cruise though, I remember seeing a video of a WCW match while Fear Factory were playing but I thought was just at some Spring Break somewhere

Anybody hear/arsed about Blampied, Pacitti, King Ross and a couple more of those What Culture chaps leaving What Culture for some reason?

"It is with sadness that we must today announce that Adam Blampied, Adam Pacitti, Ross Tweddell, Sam Driver and Jack King will be leaving WhatCulture in the coming weeks to pursue other projects.

We'd like to thank them for their work over the past two years and wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

While we understand this news will disappoint a section of our audience, we'll be using this opportunity to diversify and expand the product as a whole.

We'll be introducing brand-new shows, brand-new personalities, and freshening up existing elements of all our channels. We look forward to sharing more announcements on this in the coming weeks."

Apparently they're naming a new WCPW GM at their next show next month.

I read that and I must admit WhatCulture is the one 'Indy' promotion that has escaped me mainly due to the reports of the fans at the events so I don't have the best knowledge of them but they seem to be quite popular among the WhatCulture faithful so it is a huge shake up for them. 

Am I correct in understanding the rumour going round is these guys will be presenting/involved with the dreaded 5* Wrestling..............?!?!
