Join us tomorrow night for everyone's favorite show:
MSG CLASSICS!!!!!!
It's returning from a one week vacation with two brand new episodes.
8:00 - From September 29, 1988 featuring:
WWF World Title Match: "Macho Man" Randy Savage vs Andre The Giant Intercontinental Title Match: The Ultimate Warrior vs The Honky Tonk Man
9:00 - From May 19, (OH NO! RUN!) 1980 featuring:
16 Man Battle Royal for $15,000 and a WWF World Title shot WWF World Title Texas Death Match: Bob Backlund vs Ken Patera (Voted "Match of the Year" by The Wrestling Observer)
It's looking like we've got two good shows this week. They have a week off again next week so be sure not to miss the action.
And as always NO SPOILERS. Just because these matches are old doesn't mean that everyone has seen and/or knows how the match ends. Don't ruin it for everyone.

8PM Eastern on MSG Network.
So... in other words, YOU can't see it.
...Unless you pirated it off the internet...

It's funny, every time I don't mention that it's on the MSG Network there's a person who asks. The irony!

The 1988 show looks like a lot of fun, and I love battle royals. Hopefully I'll be able to catch this week's show.

Are the title matches the only matches on the first show? I'm assuming that isn't the same Andre/Savage title match that was shown on MSG last year.

Look at most cards in the 80s (even the 90s) and you'll see Battle Royals with guys who already worked.

Another ironic thing I noticed, every time the Yankees are actually on ESPN, it's a MSG Classics night so I have to skip most of the game.
