A CELEBRATION OF WRESTLING
Professional wrestling has been a major staple of American Pop Culture since the birth of television. When Ted Turner launched Atlanta UHF television station WTCG (TBS' predecessor) in 1972, he could not have imagined the impact his weekly wrestling
show would have on the sport. Taped on Saturday mornings in downtown Atlanta, it aired each week at 6:05 PM on a Saturday Night.

Gordon Solie, opened the program and welcomed millions of wrestling fans as he introduced the biggest names and match-ups in the sport. The Saturday Night Show set the standards for what you see today. No matter where you were, or what you were doing on a Saturday, at 6:05 PM you found a TV.
When the show ended in 2001, it created a void and fans protested in vain to bring back their heroes who had lost their home on television.

The clamor for these stars reached such a level that wrestling had to once again embrace these men who had built the sport.
A Hall of Fame was set up to honor them, DVD's are being released to highlight their legacies and action figures manufactured to commemorate their greatness.
Now for one unprecedented night, we have reunited some of the team who helped create the 6:05 mystique with these Legends, to put them all where they belong, back in main event action.
"6:05 The Reunion" features 12 huge matches emanating from the World Famous Hard Rock Live in Orlando, Florida in a night with no Championships, just Champions with the Legends who each defined and shaped their generations.
