Anyone have the results from the first shows at the various MSG incarnations? I imagine it can't be too hard to find. MSG I was around from 1879-1890. Was wrestling ever held at this venue? MSG II lasted from 1890-1925. I imagine they ran some cards. MSG III was from 1925-1968 and of course was the epicenter of Capitol Wrestling/WWWF as they transitioned more from a DC company to a NY one. MSG IV is the current incarnation built in 1968 and I think I've seen the first wrestling card at this location posted before. We can also go with the renovated (and completely ruined) Garden with the new Chase Bridges, which I believe opened in 2013.

Prior to being called Madison Square Gardens, it was called Gilmore Gardens. And wrestling was held on a regular basis at Gilmore. Scott Teal just dropped an awesome new MSG book at Crowbarpress.com called, "Wrestling in the Garden."
