WWE.com is hyping a baseball-themed month of October on WWE 24/7, as the on demand channel presents wrestling events gimmicked around America’s pastime.
Included on next month’s schedule is the famous “Showdown at Shea” card from 1980 featuring Bruno Sammartino battling former protégé Larry Zbyszko inside a steel cage (This marks the first time that the Shea Stadium event has been televised in its entirety). Two house shows emanating from the Los Angeles Sports Arena (1988) and the Boston Garden (1986) will also be shown.
The career of Big John Studd is celebrated in the Legends category, while fans have the option of choosing a Pick Your Big One PPV with Halloween Havoc ‘92, In Your House: Buried Alive, and No Mercy 2004 as October’s selections.
Steve Lombardi also dusts off the “Abe ‘Knuckleball’ Schwartz” gimmick to host Shorties segments featuring baseball stars such as Wade Boggs and Pete Rose.
