WWE has reached a deal with the Madison Square Garden Network. The network will begin airing classic WWE MSG footage on 7/5. MSG's website has a page up for "The Vault" that will feature class WWE footage.

That's channel 621 for those who have DirecTV.

I get the MSG channel on regular cable. I'll be interested to see how this goes. It's a win/win situation, because MSG no longer has baseball and has little except for MLS Soccer until the Knicks kick off in October (like that helps).

 

I always thought an MSG dvd would be a good idea. There's a ton of good matches that don't really fit anywhere else.

If this is the match I think it is, it rocks.
