Big props to Johnny for putting this together. Amateur recording can sometimes be unpredictable and frustrating with random lost audio, and there isn't much you can do about it. Still, a half hour with Kal motherfucking Rudman is bad ass and I'm proud of my boys. Titans 4 Life

Yes please do

Oh the band is definitely getting back together. Kalheads rejoice, the return of the Titans will be motherfucking epic!

It was a very good show. Nakamura vs Zayn felt like an all-timer with the crowd reaction being impossible to recreate. I'm so into Bayley as a babyface that I didn't want her to lose and was deflated by the finish and it was so hard to follow the previous match. Main event was great even with the blood stoppages. It will be remembered for the Nakamura vs Zayn match and a crowd that was just loving the moment

Main was great too. Bret Hart special finish was sweet

Holy fuck Nakamura and Zayn is awesome!

Yep

Pretty hyped for this show. Card looks solid top to bottom. Lots of possible amazing matches tonight. Could be the end of an era with Balor, Bayley and Zayn all departing after this one. I really hope that Bayley sticks around as I dread her being put on the road to nowhere on the main roster, although the women's division has been slowly turning around and maybe her arrival will put things over the top. Balor vs Joe Bayley vs Asuka Nakamura vs Zayn American Alpha vs The Revival Corbin vs Aries The Drifter vs Crews

Some are Canadians, but not obscure at all. Now that I think about it, I should've found a spot for Gene Kiniski

I think I'll be the high vote on about 10-15 guys, maybe more

Yeah that was such an awesome segment

Marvel at how crappy my mic sounded for the first year plus of the show!

https://soundcloud.com/jerryvonkramer/the-best-of-titans-of-wrestling-volume-3-the-bios-of-chief-jay-historian?in=jerryvonkramer/sets/the-best-of-titans-of I put this comp of wrestler bios from Titans together almost a year ago, and then my laptop broke and I couldn't do anything about it. I have finally been able to access my old laptop today, so here you go, better late than never. Originally, I had planned to record an intro explaining which bios are featured, but I never got around to it and was too lazy to record one tonight. The bios featured are from the first 30-something episodes of Titans of Wrestling: Baron Scicluna El Olympico Tor Kamata Wolfman Steve King Black Demon Pete Doherty Killer Khan Dominic F'N DeNucci! The first two Best of comps can be found here https://soundcloud.com/jerryvonkramer/sets/the-best-of-titans-of Also, look out for something Titans-related that is much more exciting than this on the weekend, fans!

What do you want the answer to be, that evil Vince McMahon and the evil WWE forced Bryan to retire because he was wrecking their plans for Roman Reigns and all the news coming out about why he retired is just a bunch of lies?

Meltzer's bio on Joe Garagiola/history of St. Louis wrestling and the "Wrestling at the Chase" TV show in the latest Observer is a fantastic read

Verne is the highest Golden Age guy on my list. (I also voted for Thesz, Rogers and Gorgeous George)

That's the one with the legendary front facelock nap by Andre that he hadn't yet perfected in the Cap Centre match

Bumping this to shamelessly hype my appearance on this pod the other day. I joined Travis and Max for a review of the fucking awesome Aztec Warfare II episode. Once again, if you are into Lucha Underground give this show a listen https://soundcloud.com/lucha-afterground/lucha-underground-s2-e9-aztec-warfare-2

Since it's the go home show for Mania, I'm watching Raw for the first time since after the Royal Rumble. I missed the opening segment, which sounded like it got over big with the live audience. Pretty much everything I've seen though has just served to remind me why I only watch the big shows and NXT. Just a mix of mostly not over talent, beyond horrible commentary, and boring programs. There is top notch talent here, but it often gets lost in a sea of banality. Crowd is definitely hot for Sami and Owens

Just get a VPN for your computer ($50 a year) and sign up for the US version dude

I've got Rick at 11. Top that!

Sometimes things just don't record, seemingly at random. It's happened to me a few times

I'm guessing Bayley doesn't go up to the main roster yet but I could be wrong. Balor has had a good run and should probably move up

Meltzer has it as confirmed

Yeah, that's so true. If you were a certain age in the 80s and 90s you went from being a kid and worshipping these superheroes to being a teenager/ young adult and seeing everything become corrupted
