Living in New Jersey FINALLY has a benefit. It's about time. I'm really looking forward to the first hour. I can't get enough of the '80's. Once you factor Hogan/Muraco, Savage, and Steamboat/Valentine...it's going to be a damn good show. Hopefully someone other than Alfred Hayes is on commentary. ANYONE else. going by the Steamboat/Valentine match from the Coliseum Video tape I had, Monsoon and Okerlund are doing the commentary on that night.

These things are awesome. Hopefully, MSG orders more than what they already are showing. I wonder what the ratings are because they've got to be extremely better than the crap that's shown on MSG Network.

I'd imagine they're doing well on MSG, although I have nothing to base it on. But you don't have to draw that high on MSG to begin with.
One more thing...I mentioned that a lot of PPVs have been held at MSG. One of those was Survivor Series 96, which featured the first meeting betweein Steve Austin and Bret Hart. I think they've shown a brief clip of it in the WWE Classics commercials they've been airing and this is something I'd love to see.

For that first show you have the commentary team of Gorilla Monsoon and Mean Gene Okerlund

Man, I've been angry that the MSG Raw was the one I didn't tape...so it'll be nice to get half of that on VHS finally.
The first card looks fantastic as well.
Start us off, Mean Gene!

I cant believe that the WWE is actually admitting that the Macho Man existed

This is awesome. Even when you think WWE sucks, they go and do something like this.

I only saw it once, when I rented that tape back 5 or 6 years ago.

Ah, the last 5 minutes or so that Savage was without Liz for what, 7 years?
