Using only wrestlers that appeared in Starrcade 85-90, Heath and Mark give the fans 3 hours of wrestling excitement and excellence. We are giving away 2 copies of WWE: Starrcade – The Essential Collection. Here’s how you can win: First head over to our Facebook Page where you will see the cards Heath and Mark have put together. Like the one you think is best and all those names will be entered into a drawing. The second way to win is to post your dream Starrcade card on our Facebook Page using only wrestlers from Starrcade 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, and 90. Don’t forget to support the show and send out a tweet to some of the wrestlers we talked about on the show using the “click to tweet” links below.
