Starrcast sent the following to Fightful.com, announcing several stage shows for their upcoming third event.
Labor Day weekend in Chicago will once again be STARRCAST weekend, as the third installment of the wildly popular professional wrestling fan fest returns to the Hyatt Regency in Schaumburg for four-days of stage shows, photo opportunities, parties and autograph signings. Headlining Starrcast III will be a rare on-stage interview, along with meet and greet opportunities, with former world champion, Chicago native and one of the most controversial figures to ever step inside the squared circle, C.M. Punk.
“The goal of every STARRCAST is to provide wrestling fans with experiences that they can’t get anywhere else. Getting C.M. Punk on-stage for a one-time only interview certainly fits the bill,” said STARRCAST creator and organizer Conrad Thompson. “Punk has said that he only does one or two of these type of events a year, so we are very honored and excited to have him. Giving him a live microphone and a platform to tell his story is going to be a can’t miss event.”
From Thursday, August 29th through Sunday, September 1st fans from all over the world will travel to the Chicagoland area to celebrate current, past and future legends of professional wrestling. Fans who can’t make it to The Windy City can access more than 20 hours of STARRCAST III content live and on-demand through digital live streaming network Fite.TV and the FITE mobile app for only $39.99. In addition, fans who order STARRCAST III will have access to all of the stage shows, panels and activities from STARRCAST I and STARRCAST II.
“Chicago has turned into the professional wrestling capital in the United States. Last year, at the first STARRCAST, we had nearly 11,000 attendees come to a first-time fan fest,” added Thompson. “This year, we return with another stacked line-up and we are looking to over-deliver for both the people in attendance, and for those watching worldwide on FITE. We are also excited to offer all of the STARRCAST I and STARRCAST II content to those who purchase this year’s event. In total, we are giving fans over-50 shows and over-60 hours of content for $39.99.”
