Boston Garden

[cawthon777 0]

To add to the similar pages on MSG, Maple Leaf Gardens, and the Capital Centre, I've put together a new section of my website dedicated to the historic Boston Garden.

 

Ring results from the beginning of the WWF through to its final show in May 1995 are posted, along with what print ads I've been able to find.

 

Here's a direct link: http://www.angelfire.com/wrestling/cawthon777/boston.htm

 

There are gaps so if anyone can help with that info, I would appreciate it.

MLG and Boston Garden are historic old places, sad to see them go. The Capital Centre was a run-down shithole all the way out in Landover in the middle of nowhere.

I have that match on tape. It's a fun 10-12 minute match. Nothing extrordinary but definitely unique. I don't believe there was any blood either.

It's a fun formula cage match (almost in the vein of Savage & Adonis vs. Santana& Sammartino) with great crowd heat. Not a classic or anything, but a lot better than the usual WWF Main Event of that era.

Here's a question ... for those heavy into tapes, does anyone know the first Boston show televised on NESN?

I THINK it was 5/85.

Very cool.

 

I grew up in New England (including many years right in Boston) and went to a lot of these shows. Cool to look back at those cards!

How about working on a section devoted to the Spectrum in Philadelphia as well? They've put on plenty of good cards there.
