Awesome bloodfest.&nbsp; It's 21 years later and I was still rooting for Moraco.

[Don Stugots]

<p>know whats sad?&nbsp; this is so much more enjoyable than RAW.</p>

[asayresk]

It brings tears to my eyes how hot Marlena (aka Terri Runnels) was. Time sucks.

[BoondockSaint]

Damn do I miss Stone Cold in his prime.

I really hope they keep showing all these old stuff from the Garden.&nbsp; Now if only they could finally put&nbsp;the WWE 24/7 On Demand in the Bronx.

[JustJon]

<p>I have last night's on TiVo, I look forward to watching it this weekend.</p><p>And the only Stone Cold shirt I own says GOLDBERG SUCKS! on the front and AUSTIN RULES! on the back.&nbsp; And it was an actual WWE product.&nbsp;</p>

It was awesome seeing the Dynamite Kid last night.&nbsp; I forgot how much I liked him.&nbsp; And that Flair/Hogan match was better then I would have thought.&nbsp; And how crazy did the crowd at MSG used to get back in the day.&nbsp; I'm loving these shows.&nbsp; Is it supposed to continue past the summer?

[JustJon]

Fucking great to watch last night<br />

[BoondockSaint]

Sean Mooney and Brother Love may have been the worst announcing team ever.

[Bossanova]

I just watched them, they were awful.. Pat Patterson is almost as bad

[JustJon]

Ok, the announcing wasn't great last night, but Bruno vs. Hogan, Demolition vs Road Warriors, Warrior vs Macho King Randy Savage... phenomenal<br />

[BoondockSaint]

Back on MSG tonight at 8. Don't miss it, brother.

[drjoek]

I love the bottomless salad bowl and Bread sticks at the Garden

[BeltOfScotch]

Sean Mooney and Brother Love may have been the worst announcing team ever.

I went to a golf tournament in Phoenix a couple of years back and Sean Mooney was doing a story for Fox Sports about how crazy the fans get at this place (not sarcastic, 16th hole at the FBR Open, look it up). He starts talking to some of us, when I recognized who he was I immediately started asking him about what Roddy Piper was like and whether he cried when the Megapowers exploded (there was a lot of alcohol flowing). He was PISSED.

This really is a fun show to see the old school stuff.

[BoondockSaint]

Was Peggy Sue a wrestler?

[Bob Impact]

I miss the Hitman.

[ralphbxny]

Im diggin the classics in a big big way!

[conman823]

MSG Classics is hands down the greatest WWE show on TV today. Nw if we could get a USA classics show oing that covers a broader scale, that would be great.

[BoondockSaint]

Great Classic show tonight at 8. It's from February 1985, right before Wrestlemania I. It's Snuka vs. Orton and Hogan vs. Piper.

[Don Stugots]

I will have to sneak and watch during new years dinner with my in laws.

[Kevin]

I will have to sneak and watch during new years dinner with my in laws.
