Conrad Thompson Details Undertaker Starrcast II Signing, Starrcast’s Relationship With AEW

Conrad Thompson was today’s guest on Busted Open Radio and talked about the splash Starrcast II signing of WWE legend The Undertaker.

According to Thompson, “You’re gonna laugh, but I was hanging out with Bruce [Prichard] in December and I said, ‘Hey man, I’m trying to figure out a way to make Starrcast II bigger. What about Undertaker?’ Bruce kind of shrugged it off and said, ‘I don’t know, man. He just turned down (insert insane amount of money) here. I said, ‘Hypothetically, can I have his number and just pitch it?’ Prichard obliged leading to a dialogue between The Undertaker and Thompson who quipped, “May my bank account rest in peace.”

Thompson also stressed that AEW and Starrcast are two separate entities, “There’s no official paperwork. There’s no agreement between us and AEW at all. Tony [Khan] is just my friend, and has been a listener to my podcast for years, and I’ve known him for a long time, and he asked me to host the rally in Jacksonville, and I guess that went OK, so he asked me to come back to Vegas.”

He continued, “I don’t work for AEW. I don’t have any official arrangement or agreement whatsoever. I’m not gonna do color commentary or play by play. I have no experience at that and I would be terrible. I’m just doing my buddy a solid and Cody believed in me enough last year to let me do Starrcast. Obviously, Cody is an EVP with AEW, but that really is where it sorta ends. We’re not the official convention of AEW.”

Thompson added, “Just because Ric Flair is at Starrcast doesn’t mean he’s gonna show up at AEW’s Double or Nothing. He doesn’t work there. He works for WWE. His family is with WWE. It’s a totally separate thing and never shall the two cross.” Thompson did admit to getting a laugh out of some who believed that The Undertaker would appear for AEW in an official capacity.
