Here is the special bonus edition of MAT MEMORIES FROM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, featuring the September 30th, 1972 SHOWDOWN AT SHEA - the much herald match between Bruno Sammartino and WWWF Champion Pedro Morales.   I recap the event, events leading up to it, and the disappointment with the show with Tim Puttre.  Attached are photos (courtesy John Pantozzi) newspaper clippings, and even a ticket stub.
