History

Perspective

Thompson originally had the idea of a fan convention during the NWA Legends Fanfest in 2017, but it was cancelled.[7] Later in December, Thompson pitched the idea to Cody Rhodes (one of the founders of AEW) and was intrigued by the idea of a wrestling podcast convention.[7] After some talks, Thompson emailed him the itinerary and Cody told Matt Jackson and Nick Jackson (two-thirds of the founders of All In) and he told Thompson they liked it.[7] The event would be compared to WrestleCon that is held during WrestleMania weekend.[7]

In March 2018, following the announcement of All In,[8] to coincide with the event, Thompson announced he would hold the Starrcast,[7][9] a fan convention which would feature numerous wrestlers, wrestling personalities and podcast personalities.[4][5][10]

On August 29, the full schedule for Starrcast was released.[11] The event, held August 30 to September 2, was produced by Global Force Entertainment on FITE TV.[12]

In January 2019 it was announced that Starrcast would return in conjunction with All Elite Wrestling's Double or Nothing event in Las Vegas, Nevada.[13]

The 2022 Starrcast was held in conjunction with WWE's SummerSlam in Nashville, Tennessee, with the event built around Ric Flair's Last Match.[14]
