"The match wasnt good because it was mostly Banks and Brooke and they werent on the same page. Well, they were on the same page Del Rio and Young were on earlier in the show. But not the same Paige Del Rio may have been on earlier." Oh Dave, you've still got it, you've still got it, you've still got it

His match against Robinson from 1974 Japan is great and he more than holds up his end in it

Join Kelly and Johnny as they prove once again why wrestling is the greatest thing ever: No Freakin' Rain Delays! Watch wrestlers attempt to wrestle in the rain (lots of arm bars and small packages folks), Cyndi Lauper still kicking around the WWF, the REAL Spider Lady, Hogan and Studd's loving embrace, and much much more!

Not quite all

At the Garden returns Friday, July 22 with a look at Bruno Sammartino and the years 1966-1971. In two different Gardens, a turbulent time for McMahon Sr sees Bruno take on Baron Scicluna, Toru Tanaka, George Steele, The Sheik, Ivan Koloff, and a host of others. Don't miss it fans!

Next part will feature a tribute to the career of Archie "The Stomper" Gouldie. Look out for it in about a week

I think they were going to run Piper vs Lawler in Georgia in late 1982 but Piper was canned for numerous offenses, the last being a bender with Tommy Rich where they no showed multiple dates

First match set the table for the tourney quite well. Love the enthusiasm from Ranallo and Bryan

Great match. Awesone atmosphere and finishing stretch. Nak is so beloved, it's so much fun to watch his American breakthrough unfold week by week

Not live, but Nak vs Balor is a big match and I'm pretty excited. Show just started. Curious to see how much time they get

http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrestling-63-the-stampede-territory-part-1/ Just in time for Stampede season, Kelly teams up with his longtime friend Travis for the first part of an ongoing mini-series devoted to an exploration of the famous Hart family territory based out of Calgary! Centered around a discussion of the promotion's oldest known footage (from April 1961) and the legendary main event of the WWF's 1997 Canadian Stampede PPV (the symbolic end of the territory), Kelly and Travis touch on... -Their personal experiences with the territory as kids in the late-80s -Ed Whalen's place as an announcer and Calgary icon -How Stampede compared to other areas -Stu Hart in 1961: Look out Don Draper! So sit back and enjoy a nostalgia-soaked ride through Western Canadian wrestling history! Travis and his pal Max have a great show reviewing Lucha Underground, appropriately called Lucha Afterground https://soundcloud.com/lucha-afterground Also, watch the 1961 ep, it's freakin great

Thanks Carnac

Dropping on Wednesday, Titans of Wrestling #63 is the first of a periodic multi-part look at the history of Western Canada's Stampede Wrestling promotion. Kelly brings aboard his longtime friend Travis (Lucha Afterground podcast https://soundcloud.com/lucha-afterground) to host, and they reminisce about the wrestling they grew up on living in Calgary in the late-80s. This episode features the bookends of the territory, with a look at both the oldest footage available-from April 1961-and the symbolic end of the story, the Canadian Stampede main event from 1997. So in the meantime and in between time, get ready for Titans #63!

#loosethemoustacheloseitall All time great WTBBP meme

Wooooo pro wrestling woooooo

I'm watching this at a friend's place. First UFC I've seen in 4 years. Lesnar winning and then an RKO out of nowhere is how I'd book it

Haha...Chinlock Town. Brilliant

Sleeze rules!

That was outstanding

Awesome match everyone should see http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xwci8e_andre-the-giant-vs-chuck-wepner_sport

Looking online, I believe you're right. The Gino Marella match aired on that date, but I think the other matches were from a different taping

There are a few random bits not released by WWE that have been out there over the years, like a Stomper vs Dan Kroffat match from 73, but yeah very little pre-1978

Anyone know why this seems to be the only existing footage of Stampede Wrestling from the first nearly 20 years of the TV show? I'm going to be doing a podcast mini-series shortly on the history of Stampede and I'm curious how this seemingly random show survived and nothing else did from this era, or at least nothing has surfaced. Any help would be greatly appreciated

The Mystery Titans of Andre vs Wepner match is on Dailymotion. Tried multiple times to get Ali vs Inoki up to no avail. Titans TV youtube is restricted to 15 minute videos and Dailymotion sucks for uploads. The audio of Johnny and I watching Ali vs Inoki is on the PWO-PTBN feed

Awesome match! Both guys look great in probably the second best boxer vs wrestler match on tape (apologies to Milo Savage vs Gene LeBelle )
