Does Madison Square Garden deserve the title of quot;The home of wrestlingquot;..just because it hosted the very 1st Wrestlemania??We all know that MSG is a world renowned venue for sporting events,rock/pop concerts etc...but if it did'nt hold the 1st wrestlemania would it still have that prestigious title of 'the home of wrestling'????If not MSG,...what other venue is worthy???Also,as some of you know i'm in the uk and it has always been a lifelong ambition to watch wrestling in MSG..i'd like thoughts from users who have been to see wrestling there!!! thanks!!!
It still does because MSG is where the 1st WWE championship matches were held and continued for a few years.
Yeah. 1st ever WM, Royal Rumbles and the famous MSG incident. I think Citrus Bowl too. No Roof for WM 24.
MSG didn't get the title of being the home of wrestling just because of the first Wrestlemania. Madison Square Garden was the home of the WWF and the WWWF during the territory days. It has hosted more wrestling events than any other arena. So many big events have happened there. Bruno Sammartino won and lost his first WWWF Championship at MSG. Bob Backlund won the title at MSG when it was renamed as the WWF Championship. Hulkamania was born at MSG when Hogan pinned the Iron Sheik for the WWF Title. MSG was where Jimmy Snuka leaped from the top of the cage. Like you said, Wrestlemania I took place at MSG, as did Wrestlemania 10 and 20 (which is my favorite Wrestlemania). MSG saw the first PPV ladder match in WWF history as well as the first ever Elimination Chamber. It saw Triple H vs. Cactus Jack in a Street Fight at Royal Rumble 2000. It saw John Cena's shocking return at Royal Rumble 2008. MSG is the home of wrestling because it has seen more historic wrestling events than any other arena in the world.
