Starrcade ’84 Special

In celebration of the 35th anniversary, The Mid-Atlantic Championship Podcast proudly presents a very special look at Starrcade ’84.

Dubbed “The Million Dollar Challenge,” Mike Sempervive and Roman Gomez cover every aspect of the overshadowed supershow, taking the listener back into time so that they can feel how the promotion built the event, and truly understand what life was like leading into the Greensboro Coliseum, on the night of November 22, 1984.

We believe this to be the most comprehensive and definitive look at the event, ever recorded, and are very excited for you to come along for the ride.

Whether you’re reliving your memories, or creating some new ones, we here at The Mid-Atlantic Championship Podcast thank you very much for coming along on the ride!

Prelude Episode

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Mid-Atlantic Championship Podcast. This edition of the show, works as a preview of what you’ll be hearing each week on the podcast, as well as an introduction to where we stand in Jim Crockett Promotions, as we enter 1982.

It’s a very unique edition of the show, because it wasn’t supposed to be a show! It was going to serve as a practice show, to gain some familiarity between Mike Sempervive and Roman Gomez, but it went so well, and was so packed with information, that we figured we’d put it up as the official dark match of the podcast!

Since the taping of this show, we’ve drastically improved our audio recording and post-production set-up, as well as the hosts developing much more of a rapport, and finding more clarity on where we’d like to take it this awesome project.

We’re humbled you’re taking this ride with us, and look forward to cherishing your memories, as well as creating new ones!
