What they're saying

"
The New York Knicks and WWE might be too completely different worlds in terms of the sporting element but with both brands’ links to Madison Square Garden, there’s also a crossover. WWE classes MSG as its home away from home really and over the years we’ve seen some of the greatest matches ever put on in front of the New York crowd.
