Might have to entertain myself. Everybody's asleep.

Seeing some pics on reddit, the crowd looks really healthy, hopefully get to 60k.

I totally forgot about the mask rule in MSG. I've seen footage of The Spoiler unmasked against Pedro in July of 72 at MSG. That should have been my first clue.

It's Boston, the stairs have a rail on it which I haven't seen anywhere else and they are always placed on the side edge of the ring and not the corner. Also no ceiling microphone, the announcer uses it in the Pedro/Mulligan match but not the Gotch match. Case closed.

I believe the Gotch/Goulet match is from the 1/22/72 card from Boston not MSG. Notice the floorboards and wide ringside area. I could be wrong but MSG's ringside area is a pretty tight squeeze. Just watched the match. It's really fun. Gotch is awesome.

It's the same Robinson/Martel match on youtube listed 5/19/83 but it isn't listed on that card. And I cant find a card with Robinson beating Martel at all.

Thesz, Gotch, Hodge, Takada, Robinson. Is it gun week cause all I see is shooters. I was totally expecting something Australian this week but these gems are way better.

No, but I will be watching.

Good to know Shawn's hair knows when to retire. Too bad it wasn't attached to his brain.

I wouldn't expect much of a stage since they only have a week to build it, be interesting to see what they come up with. They might have to make the ramp an escalator so the Undertaker can make it down. Seems this is scheduled for 5 hours. Bloody hell. How many north of the equator are going to watch this live?

Anytime we get Jack Brisco its a win for me. Cant believe they only faced each other twice according to wrestlingdata.com.

What a fantastic AFL Grand Final today at the MCG. Well done the West Coast Eagles. Today's crowd was 100,022. Don't think WWE will get close to that but will probably announce 100k anyway.

It's a "dark match". https://www.cagematch.net/?id=1&nr=4083&page=2

Finally another 50s match and Pedro's first MSG title defense. Dallas Wrestling 08/26/1952 – The Fighting Fifties Mexican legend Rito Romero battles Danny Savich in a 2-Out-of-3 Falls Match from the famed Sportatorium in Dallas, TX. WWWF @ MSG 03/15/1971 – The Pride of Puerto Rico The beloved Pedro Morales defends championship gold against WWE Hall of Famer Blackjack Mulligan as their rivalry reaches a fever pitch. WWE 08/28/1987 – Demolishing the Competition WWE Hall of Famers unite when Tito Santana teams with the legendary Mil Mascaras to take on the tough tandem of Demolition. Nitro 09/23/1996 – Lucha Legend Rey Mysterio puts his WCW Cruiserweight Championship on the line against fellow luchador Super Calo in this rarely seen match from Nitro.

Predictions: Jeff Hardy does something really really stupid and Brie botches.

Brock is the most athletic wrestler I've seen. The speed, agility, strength and co-ordination that Brock has for a 290 pound guy has always been impressive to me. I'll give Shelton Benjamin a shoutout. Nobody has run up a ladder better than him.

He needs new entrance music. It's too slow and depressing for a "babyface". Get some rock music going. His wrestling is fine but his promos need to be more intense and passionate aka Foley style.

I still want HBK vs Rock. Problem is neither would want to lose.

Even though Seth's dives look very weak, he doesn't even get close to breaking his neck. The women just worry me every time. Carmella might be the only woman that actually commits to it 100%, also helps that she dives between the middle and bottom ropes and not top & middle. I'm still amazed Lita wasn't paralyzed, that's the worst I've seen.

I just saw Brie's "dives". HAHA. Just because you married Daniel doesn't mean you inherit his DNA. Women should be banned from doing that dive. None of them can hit it right.

C'mon Shawn. ONE MORE MATCH, ONE MORE MATCH. It wouldn't hurt his retirement for me if he went out there with Trips & Taker and had a fun 15 minute match. Would put some butts in the seats, that's for sure.

Exactly what I thought. I really like the Photo Shoot episodes but this one sucked. I thought Ric was going to go through most of his career with Charlotte pitching in now and then and instead it was basically all about Charlotte and the damn game. I just wanted Charlotte to piss off.

This is not a stadium worthy card. Needs Lesnar & Mysterio I guess HHH/Taker main events w/HBK as ref again?

I would go Gridiron Gang as Rock's best dramatic role.
