As someone who grew up in the 80's watching wrestling and loving when MSG Network had cards on, as well as getting to go to some of these events at the greatest place to see a wrestling match, this exhaustively researched book brought with it a bit of nostalgia and remembrance of some great cards. Loved going back in time to so many wonderful memories!

Not a book for most fans but for me to see the full picture of pro wrestling at MSG, complete with every card and all attendance and gate figures, plus personal reflections from performers and fans was a fun exercise in nerdiness. Be prepared for list after list after list of matches from the 60’s to present. Lots of surprise though, in terms of who could actually draw a full house.
