We've got ourselves 2 decent shows again this week. Join us at 8pm on the MSG Network for:
8:00 - From December 29, 1991
The Bushwhackers vs The Nasty Boys
Intercontinental Title Match - Bret "The Hitman" Hart (c) vs "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Hulk Hogan vs "Nature Boy" Ric Flair
9:00 - From May 4, 1981
2 Out of 3 Falls Match: Gorilla Monsoon (substitutiing for Andre The Giant), Rick Martel and Tony Garea vs Stan Hansen, Moondog Rex, and Capt. Lou Albano (substituting for Moondog King)
Alley Fight: Pat Patterson vs Sgt. Slaughter
WWE Title Match: Bob Backlund (c) vs "King Kong" Angelo Mosca
This MAY be the last episodes we get for this season, I'm not sure yet because MSG hasn't updated their schedule for October. MSG Classics is definitely not on next week because of some boxing program but I don't know if it ends tonight. Either way be sure to join us for some great wrestling action. And remember as always NO SPOILERS, not everyone has seen these matches, so don't spoil it for them.

Just out of curiosity, is that the same Hogan Vs. Flair match that was on last season? Or is this a different episode?

Is the commentary for the first hour Monsoon/Heenan? If now, I'm not wasting my time. May set it to record the second hour, Martel must ALWAYS be watched!

Does it matter if it was the same episode from last year, it has Ted Dibase in it. Unfortunitly this is after, Virgil-Wrestling Superstar, had left him.

If anyone cares, the Slaughter vs. Patterson "Alley Fight" match from 1981 was Wrestling Observer's "Match of the Year". Don't know if this "Alley Fight" is the same one (who knows how many times they did the match around the territory), but I'm interested in seeing it. Supposedly, Slaughter was a tremendous brawler and decent worker before he became older, really fat, and hawked G.I. Joes...and Patterson was Patterson.

They only did the match 3 other times after this particular one.

Seeing as I have the first show on DVD and not really interested in the 2nd show, I'll probably pass.

I actually hope they do more of the 80's shows, and less Raws/PPV's.

I really want really old shows. Bruno champ shows. They didn't start regularly broadcasting MSG shows until 76. There were random ones here and there before that.

Also I don't think a lot of people realize that after March of 92 there were only 5 taped events at the Garden for the rest of the decade. One house show, one Raw, and the rest were PPVs. the 2000s has way more taped shows from the Garden because if Raw wasn't being taped then Smackdown was.

Slaughter was a really good worker during the early-to-mid-eighties. Patterson was a damn good worker and these two worked well together. I saw the match that set this up on 24/7 and it was a good one. So is this, with Slaughter doing an epic blade job.
