Like the WWE hasn't fucked up on other things they never created, there comes this

I'm sure, they'll screw this up as well. They have a long standing pattern of it.

World Wrestling Entertainment filed a trademark on the name "Starrcade" on 7/17, PWInsider.com has confirmed.

The event was initially created by Jim Crockett Promotions back in 1983 as a Thanksgiving night supershow, the title of their biggest event of the year. That tradition remained until the company shut down and was purchased by Turner Broadcasting, creating World Championship Wrestling. They retained the event, running it through December 2000. WWE acquired WCW in March 2001.

WWE used the Starrcade name last December to brand a house show in Greensboro, NC, the original home of the event. PWInsider.com had previously reported there were additional plans to additional events with the brand name.

While not confirmed, the timing of the trademark filing is interesting given that WWE is working on their first ever main roster women's PPV event, which may be announced as soon as tonight on Raw.
