May 31, 20169 yr comment_5755426 Here's the whole card for listeners to enjoy at home. If nothing else watch the 2/3 falls tag between Garea/Travis and Rodz/Estrada that starts around 37 minutes in. Legit awesome match
June 2, 20169 yr comment_5755792 The post show bit is the funniest Titans shit yet. Parv is the man. Very funny. If I ever end up getting divorced, I'll definately be trying out The Guardian's dating site.
June 3, 20169 yr comment_5755930 I haven't listened to the show yet but watching the Backlund / Snuka match, I think this is the only attempt for Backlund trying to work a straight face vs face matchup in the WWF.
June 3, 20169 yr comment_5755941 I think you may be right. He wrestled Inoki frequently in Japan and in Florida for CWF but not for McMahon Sr. There is the unitentionally hilarious 10 minute scientific exhibition on TV vs El Olympico from 1980
June 3, 20169 yr comment_5755951 While these two clips are from 1984, I was hoping the Titans boys could jump in the Quantum Leaping Lanny and go forward in time to do a live watch. First Mean Gene tours the home neighbourhood of Adrian Adonis, with Dick Murdoch turning up halfway through. Then, Adonis visits Murdochs ranch. Both segments are pure wrestling gold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QE_BB3KZUE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47WR2ZeO7ec[media][/media]
June 4, 20169 yr comment_5755971 That's awesome. The Adonis' neighborhood clip has been widely seen and available but the ranch one is kind of a holy grail. 👍 Edit: I guess if I'd have looked on the TNT shows on the network id have found it. 😆
