That's crazy. I used to live in Victoria and the city has, for whatever reason, a rep for fan incidents at WWE shows. Once, I believe a fan hit the ring and attempted to attack HHH. The most famous incident happened in 2009 after the only WWE show I ever attended while living there. Chris Jericho got into heated confrontation with two fans in the parking lot and a video of it went viral on youtube. The one fan was a total moron, I saw him inside the arena earlier walking around wearing a merch table belt and behaving like the show was a shoot. I wrote to a wrestling site to give my account of the fan and about a half hour later the Victoria PD called me based on that account being posted on the site and they told me I could be called as a witness if it ever went to trial. Of course it never did. Funny thing is Victoria is a pretty sleepy town and not exactly known for rowdy sports fans or anything, but something about WWE shows turns the people mad.

Yeah he worked New Japan in 77 as Piper and 78 as Masked Canadian. Lost pretty much every match on both tours

Just read Meltzer's bio and wondered what is out there of Piper's 1983 tour of All-Japan, which looks like may have been his only work in Japan http://wrestlingdata.com/index.php?befehl=bios&wrestler=275&bild=1&details=7&liga=14&jahr=1983

Yeah the Kallies were cancelled after the Holiday Inn across from the Spectrum was torn down and Kal demanded too much money to host My personal 1981 MVP was Slaughter of course. Match of the Year was 1. Backlund vs Valentine 11/23 2. Patterson vs Slaughter Alley Fight 5/4 3. Backlund vs Slaughter cage match 3/21 Maybe the boys can chime in with their thoughts

I did a Martel bio on Titans # 21 if you want to seek that out. I know I touched on a lot of his 70s work. I too really liked this show. Martel is awesome and deserves to get as much praise as possible

Thanks for sharing that. Great read

Bring it on

RIP Roddy. You were fucking great

IMO for Muraco in 81 WWF the Texas Death Match against Pedro 11/23 is good, I wasn't blown away by the Backlund matches, and the rest is Dullsville (avoid every other match against Pedro like the plague)

Happy New Year!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAGYIvg1FHk&app=desktop

That's one I've always wondered about. It went on for a few weeks at least. I can remember my friends speculating on who it was. Wonder why it was dropped and what plans, if any, they had for the gimmick

Oh yeah, that's being reviewed on the next show!

Thanks a lot. Marty and I are having a blast and things will only get better

Thanks for the praise man. These shows are a labour of love and it's great people are digging them. Those recommendations look really solid. I've seen a few of them over the years but a lot I haven't. We are planning on looking at some of the 87 ones for sure. Love "Stundy", not sure about "Sholkoff".☺ Hogan and Koko vs Kamala and Honky is definitely topical

Bruno vs Waldo Von Erich 6/16/75 MSG. The dictionary definition of "Over"

Watching some 1975 WWWF for fun because I'm the only one who can still stomach it (#bringbackTitans75) and came across this marvelous Vince blazer, complete with what appears to be a custom made "WWWF" crest.

I miss kayfabe sometimes

Please stop ending words wth z

Reading around, it seems the consensus is if Kidd does come back it won't be for at least a year

In 84 Hogan was still working New Japan a lot. Early 85 too I think. Also, at first Vince believed Hogan was more of a special attraction that shouldn't be booked every month. Vince was also expanding into new areas, so Hogan was also occupied in a way Bob or Bruno never were

We always say you don't have to be a fan or knowledgeable of the era to appreciate Titans. It's basically a show about being a wrestling fan more than anything PS. Skip episode 1☺
