Conrad Thompson revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated that The Undertaker and Kurt Angle will no longer appear at Starrcast II.
The stars were pulled due to WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, according to Thompson.
“I was told it had gotten WWE’s attention and that Vince McMahon texted The Undertaker about the appearance. ’Taker’s representation, which is a company called Get Engaged, called to tell me, ‘WWE says he can’t do it.’ I had an agreement in place with the talent. Without exception, I dealt directly with the talent or their management, they set their terms, and I complied. First class travel accommodations were made and marketing was done. Now, thanks to the influence of WWE, the performers are missing out on substantial income and the fans are being punished.”
“I suggested Vince McMahon, Hunter, or Stephanie McMahon. And I said I would donate 100 percent of the proceeds to Conor’s Cure and match the donation personally, which would turn a negative into a positive for everyone involved.”
Starrcast II will be held May 23rd-26th at Caesars Palace and the Tuscany Suites & Casino.
