Starrcade 85 and 86

[Bradshaw0012]

I remember of course the lineups announced on television, but I don't remember it ever being specified as to which arena the matches would take place, with the exception of Dusty vs. Flair in 85.

Were the actual cards for each arena advertised in the cities beforehand, or did the fans not find out until they arrived as to what matches they would be seeing live vs. on closed circuit?

I don't recall them being announced on TV, either.

Bobby, did you guys know which matches you were getting in Greensboro?

When i attended Starrcade 86 in person at the Omni I don't remember specifically knowing what would be held in Atlanta and what would be closed circuit from Greensboro.......I remember in 1985 seeing the local promo spots on TBS for Atlanta and sometimes they would mention all of the top matches adn others they would list just Dusty vs Flair, Wahoo and Billy Jack vs Andersons, MX vs Valiant & Lively and thens tuff like Thunderfoot vs Italian Stallion and Pez Whatley vs Mike Davis.......
