As things stand, it's not crystal clear whether or not WWE will beam Starrcade live on the Network, but they really should. Given that Survivor Series will take place just six nights before on Sunday, 19 November, WWE have the chance to present a real throwback to ye olden times here.

Back in 1991, the special This Tuesday In Texas pay-per-view almost immediately followed Survivor Series. No, it wasn't a raging success back then, but times are different with the advent of the WWE Network; there's no risk tied with airing Starrcade even if it is a house show. WWE have already done this with specials in Japan and MSG.

The Network is a vast collection of Starrcade memories too, and those memories sit alongside pretty much every other major wrestling pay-per-view ever. Surely the company will want to push that archive when they have a captive audience who find their interest piqued by a recognisable event name from childhood.
