Sports Illustrated has reported some big news, that long with Sting, Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, and many AEW talents, the legendary Undertaker will be at Starrcast.
Here are some excerpts:
“I know people might assume this is an AEW event, but that is not true,” said Starrcast founder Conrad Thompson, whose convention is a weekend-long event featuring more than two dozen live wrestling-themed shows. “We have wrestlers appearing from every promotion from all over the world, and Starrcast isn’t just for All Elite Wrestling fans, it’s for all wrestling fans.
“The Undertaker is synonymous with wrestling and generations of wrestling fans have grown up with The Undertaker. We wanted to bring something unique to Las Vegas, and there isn’t anyone more special in this business than The Undertaker.”
While Starrcast isn’t an AEW production, it’s going to raise a lot of rumors that The Undertaker will be in the same vicinity as many AEW executives.
“The Undertaker experience is its own standalone experience at Starrcast,” said Thompson, who expects a sell out when for the ’Taker event when it is made available later this month and recommended fans interested in attending acquire a platinum or gold bracelet this Friday at noon ET at Starrcast.com. “We are so proud to bring The Undertaker experience to fans this Memorial Day weekend at Starrcast II.”
Dave Meltzer reported last week in his Wrestling Observer Newsletter that ’Taker had begun taking non-WWE bookings after removing all WWE references from his social media profiles. The WWE legend then announced four dates in the U.K. in late April and early May. He is reportedly charging $25,000 per hour for his appearances.
