Lars Sullivan NXT

• On This Day In Pro Wrestling History (November 22, 1984) – NWA Starrcade 1984: The Million Dollar Challenge

On this day in Pro Wrestling history on November 22, 1984, Jim Crockett Promotions aired ‘NWA Starrcade 1984: The Million Dollar Challenge’ LIVE on closed-circuit television from the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina.

This was the 2nd out of 18 annual ‘Starrcade’ events that aired between 1989 and 2000.

The first 5 Starrcades (1983-1987) were promoted by Jim Crockett Promotions, while Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling (who bought JCP in 1988) promoted all the ones that followed (1988-2000).

The results are here:

– NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship: Denny Brown defeated Mike Davis (c)

– Brian Adias defeated Mr. Ito

– NWA Florida Heavyweight Championship: Jesse Barr (c) defeated Mike Graham

– Elimination match: Assassin #1 and Buzz Tyler defeated The Zambuie Express

• Plan For WWE’s Newest Main Roster Star Revealed

As seen during promos that aired this week at Survivor Series 2018, RAW & SmackDown, NXT Superstar Lars Sullivan will be making his WWE main roster debut soon.

According to Brad Shepard, WWE officials are planning to have Lars debut on SmackDown Live because RAW already has a monster in Braun Strowman (who is basically a bigger Lars Sullivan).

Lars is expected to squash smaller opponents to get successful on SmackDown Live before moving on to bigger feuds, similar to what WWE did with Strowman back in 2016 when he went solo after the brand split.

We’ll keep you updated regarding Sullivan’s WWE debut date.
