J.R. Clarifies Blog Regarding Starrcade and Wrestlemania



Jim Ross has posted a followup blog clarifying what he wrote in his blog yesterday concerning Starrcade and Wrestlemania. He said, “Starrcade was created in 1983. WrestleMania was created in 1985.

McMahon hit gold with his PPV ‘big event’ concept and Jim Crockett Promotions wanted to follow suit and essentially mortgaged their future to some degree to do so.” To read his full blog entry, click here.
