August 13, 20169 yr comment_5763117 And.............I have a 14 hour work day starting in an hour. Well at least I have something exciting to await. I'm glad the Titans at least managed to get through the era of Kal Rudman on the mic. Though he hung around right till the end at the Spectrum (and DID do commentary for the last 2 matches ever televised on Prism, which I am fairly sure he and Dick knew was the last televised card and to hell with it, we're doing this together) it was never the same in Philly without him. He would have been loads of fun on the mic during the Hulkamania era, particularly with guest commentators (Kal and Bobby Heenan would have been the greatest thing ever) and it's a shame it didn't happen. Bottom line I want to thank the Titans. I barely knew who Kal Rudman was before this podcast began.
August 13, 20169 yr comment_5763180 I haven't put it on Youtube... yet but Kal also did commentary for 2 matches on the Spectrum 5/31/86 show (Bees vs Harts and Roberts vs Steamboat)
August 13, 20169 yr Author comment_5763219 Cool. Good to know. Once again thanks for all this footage, it's so great
August 14, 20169 yr comment_5763286 Yeah I have literally 100 house shows to catch up on. I try to watch 1 every other day but this is truly the golden age of online WWF footage. I got the entire 86, 87, 88 and 91 runs of Superstars on dailymotion this week too.
August 14, 20169 yr comment_5763367 Thank you Landy for helping with the footage. Parv is out of his skull being a homer on this show.
August 17, 20169 yr comment_5763754 Vince and Gorilla did Survivor Series '94 as a commentary duo. Vince & Lawler were the usual A commentary team at that time but Lawler wrestled that night.
August 20, 20169 yr comment_5764334 You know you've been a wrestling fan for too long when jokingly you wonder if the song at the end is a hint that Tammy Lynn Sytch will appear in the footage for the next Titans episode
