One of the things I love about This game is how it has the 80's and 90's, and how fun it it when that 1990 switch hits because it is, and it was such a turning point.
That being said, I am looking back at some classic IRL PPVs, and I wish the game could get a boost with some classic big names. I know there's the wishlist thread, but I want to specifically look at the first Starrcade events here.

It's pretty crazy to me that Harley Race is not held in the same regard as Flair and Dusty. Looking at the rest of the card, I see guys like the Briscoe Brothers, Cowboy Bob Orton, Jay Youngblood, Kevin Sullivan and Charlie Brown/Jimmy Valiant there and all of them were big players in the NWA.

Tully Blanchard and Superstar Billy Graham have matches, and some great managers are here too, in JJ Dillon and #1 Paul Jones.

Ron Bass vs Black Bart seems like a crazy match. Magnum TA and the Barbarian also feature.

I'm a fan of that 80-85 stuff and I would love to see more in the game that's outside of the Rock n Wrestling scene.
