5 incredible MSG WWE television moments

#4 The Undertaker & John Cena vs D-Generation X vs The Big Show & Chris Jericho (WWE RAW 2009)

2009's RAW from Madison Square Garden saw one of the most star-studded main events in WWE television history.

Before Survivor Series, the WWE and World Heavyweight Championship competitors met in a unique triple threat tag team match.

World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker teamed up with WWE Champion John Cena to face D-Generation X (Shawn Michaels & Triple H) and Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho and The Big Show.

The closing moments of the match saw John Cena pin Triple H after hitting an Attitude Adjustment. However, The Undertaker got the final laugh as he shockingly Tombstoned his partner to close the show.

#3 WWE The War To Settle The Score (1985)

I only today realized that @CyndiLauper is not in the @WWE Hall of Fame celebrity wing.As part of the "rock n' wrestling connection" with MTV in the 80's, she was CRUCIAL to WWE crossing over into mainstream. Arguably no celebrity more deserving.#InductCyndi

WWE skyrocketed into mainstream popularity during 1980s due to the rise of Hulk-A-Mania and The Rock n' Wrestling connection.

In December 1984, major music star Cyndi Lauper presented an award to manager Captain Lou Albano. However, this was interrupted by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper who was upset with the popularity of the Rock 'n' Wrestling connection between WWE and MTV that was attracting major viewers to the WWE product.

This led to Piper attacking both Albano and Lauper before WWE Champion Hulk Hogan made the save.

This set up the War To Settle The Score special that aired live on MTV in February 1985. The main event saw Hulk Hogan defeat Roddy Piper by disqualification after Paul Orndorff and "Cowboy" Bob Orton Jr. interfered in the match.

Mr. T, who was at ringside for the event, came to Hogan's aid during the assault, setting up the main event for the very first WrestleMania later that year.
