Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, and known colloquially as The Garden, has been the name of four Arenas in New York City.

Title changes
Today, most major promotions try to develop their angles only during televised shows and will rarely book a major development (such as a storyline or a title change) for a house show. If there is a title change, the title usually changes back during the same show or another house show before another televised event. Title changes are usually reserved for televised shows to boost ratings. [1]
In 1987, when Dino Bravo debuted with the WWF, his first actual match was at the Montreal Forum at a house show where he teamed with the Rougeau Brothers in a 6-man tag-team match against the Dream Team (Greg Valentine, Brutus Beefcake, and Johnny Valiant). Adolfo Bresciano ( August 6, 1949 - March 11, 1993) was an Italian -born Canadian professional wrestler, The Montreal Forum was an Indoor arena located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers was the tag team of real-life brothers Jacques Rougeau & Raymond Rougeau, best known from their run in the WWF from 1985 - 1990 John Anthony Wisniski Jr (born September 20, 1950) is a retired American professional wrestler, better known as Greg "The Hammer" Edward Harrison Leslie (born April 21 1957) is an American professional wrestler, best known for his work in the World Wrestling Federation John Lawrence Sullivan (October 15 1858 &ndash February 2 1918 was recognized as the first heavyweight champion of gloved boxing from February 7 1882 to 1892 and Toward the end of the match, when it looked like the Rougeaus and Bravo were headed for victory, Bravo turned on them and left the ring with the Dream Team. But this heel turn by Bravo was never mentioned on WWF television, and when he debuted on television a few weeks later he was introduced as the newest member of the Dream Team with no mention of how it happened. Also in 1987, hometown favorites the Rougeau Brothers beat then-champions the Hart Foundation for the WWF Tag Team Championship at a house show at the Montreal Forum on August 10. This article is about the Hart Foundation in professional wrestling The World Tag Team Championship is a Professional wrestling world tag team championship in World Wrestling Entertainment. But in the 1980s the WWF never talked about house shows on television, so the win and title change was never recognized and the Rougeaus never did get to wear the belts on television. The 1980s was the decade spanning from January 1 1980 to December 31 1989. The WWF did, however, continue to acknowledge the match and the reversed decision on its interview segments that were done for the local Montreal market, as studio interview segments at the time were specific to the market where it was being shown. A similar incident occurred in 1990. The Rockers defeated the Hart Foundation for the tag title, but the decision was overturned by Jack Tunney and never acknowledged on television. The Rockers were a Professional wrestling Tag team consisting of Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty that teamed from 1985 to 1991 Jack Tunney (b John Tunney 1935 &ndash January 24 2004) was a Canadian Wrestling promoter [1]

House show title changes also include winning titles close to hometowns, such as Edge beating Jeff Jarrett for the his first Intercontinental Title in Toronto, Ontario. Adam Joseph Copeland (born October 30 1973 in Orangeville Ontario, Canada better known by his Ring name Edge, is a Canadian professional wrestler Toronto (təˈrɒntoʊ colloquially pronounced or) is the largest city in Canada and is the provincial capital of Ontario [1] This title change was done to excite Edge's hometown crowd. [1] He, however, lost the belt back to Jarrett the following evening.

Controversial events
Also, because house shows are not televised, sometimes controversial things happen at them, which would not happen on a televised show.
