Jordan Huie of the Overtimer here to give you the live recap of what goes on tonight with WWE Starrcade 2019! And man does writing ‘WWE Starrcade’ feel bizarre, even for a younger fan like myself… it’s going on as we speak and won’t be on the air for too long so we’ll be keeping track of it as much we can. I’ll be giving you the results of the whole show as it occurs, even the vast majority of it which we won’t see!
The show opened with Kevin Owens introducing Ric Flair onto the Kevin Owens Show. As is often the case with the living legend’s modern appearances, he was a little out of it. But he reminisced on the past and put over the WWE’s present.
That is until the OC – represented by Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows – interrupted the proceedings.
The two of them bad-mouthed Flair and Owens, saying they shouldn’t be talking about the past when they could be talking about the best tag team in the world. They bickered back and forth with Kevin Owens for a bit until the Street Profits made their way out to back him up!
This started an impromtu tag match, which is ongoing as we speak; The Street Profits vs. The OC. I can’t say I predicted that being the result of this segment, so I guess that’s a plus as far as unpredictability goes. I will give you the result of that match as soon as I can.
Excerpt of my live recap of the opening segment:
Ric thanks the late great Harley Race for headlining with him at the first-ever Starrcade. Puts over Dusty Rhodes for creating it. Brings up Sting. Says all he wanted to do was be the best wrestler alive and back there is 30 people who want to prove why they’re the best wrestlers alive. Owens asks him for one big woo. Flair sets it up with his old limousine riding jet flying kiss stealin’ wheelin’ dealin’ son of a gun catchphrase. Wants Owens to share in the woo with everyone and they count it down – only for Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows to interrupt.
Anderson asks why we’re talking about your past. Gallows calls him “Hot Karl Anderson” and notes that they are the best mother-lovin’ tag team in the world. Owens says if we’re talking about the past, we can talk about a past where you two had hair. Anderson says they’ve talked to the good brothers in the trucks and they should just run the OC highlight reel, maybe some Botch Club. Owens suggests that the people in the trucks hate them and the Botch Club would just be their last match. Maybe they could show Rey Mysterio defeating AJ Styles for the US title instead.
Street Profits come out to back up Owens! Ford suggests we cook up some highlights tonight in Atlanta. Cheap pop. They wanna let Flair watch ringside as they beat their ass. Impromptu match!
