It's pretty good. The Jimmy Snuka (I know I spelled it wrong) vs Pedro Morales match is on right now for the Intercontinetal Championship. They have Andre coming up too.

You youngin's need to watch and brush up on your history.

MSG network is the Madison Square Garden Network in NY. Maybe you'll have it on the dish or direct tv but not your local cable provider.

This is "kool", its gonna be a weekly show

I gotta thank you. I had no idea this was on. They are showing a card from 1982. I started watching wrestling with the guys wrestling tonight. You made my night.

I have direct tv and I get MSG on channel 621.

 

[realblackhart]

No prob. I kinda had the feeling a lot of people didn't know. It wasn't put up on wrestlezone to remind fans tonight and WWE really hadn't been promoting it. Mcmahon has it down, Monday, Tuesday, Wendesday, and Fridays, and this saturday and 2 Sundays out of every month.

LOL! That's exactly what I'm trying to do! Most of these matches happened 10 years before I was born. I'm glad they're finally showing them on TV.

Hopefully the ratings are good considering that it wasn't promoted much. Also there were a lot of these matches on The Classic Sports Network (before it became ESPN Classic) . ESPN doesn't respect wrestling so much, so I don't think they air it anymore

 

[Eternal Dragon]

I don't think ESPN respects wrestling at all- typical. The MSG thing was really good. I think it's going to come on every week now because they said that next week their featuring Randy Savage and Hulk Hogan again.
