Well its not like NXT is being eliminated, it's just that the juniors and seniors are moving up to the big leagues and the team will now consist of last years sophmores and new crop of freshmen

I think the theory supposes Vince didn't know about Savage and Steph when Savage left. And he wasn't fired

Smackdown becomes NXT and NXT starts over from scratch or something?

I think (or hope) that Smackdown will be more or less the 2015 NXT roster, with maybe Cena as the old vet surrounded by all the up and coming kids.

I haven't even seen it and that's what I assumed it was based on the description

I loved Brooke doing the Flair strut

Love the new stable if that's the way they're going

Awesome match

Wooo Fuck that code red

Here's the fixed Philly show. Enjoy as treat before Extreme Rules!

"Bret Hart in WCW" Yep, this never felt right at all, even after being there a few years. Pretty much all the other WWF guys who came over fit in, but Bret totally felt like a Marvel character in a DC world or something.

Yeah. I'm re-uploading it, but it takes forever and I'm away from WiFi at the moment. Hopefully it will be ready by tomorrow

Audio on the Philly card is off. I'll try and fix it as soon as possible

Mystery Titans Theatre Friday Night Double Feature!!! First up, Parv returns, and he is joined by Kelly for a look at the October 21, 1984 WWF card from Maple Leaf Gardens. Marvel at some truly dreadful matches, the cause of the black wrestler (or is it "black wrestler", who the fuck knows) being set back several decades, and Andre the F'N Giant taking flight! Next, Kelly and Johnny head to the City of Brotherly Love for a crazy card from August 4, 1984. Fantasy booking dominates--Backlund as a punk at CBGB's, the Freebirds lasting longer than a month, and the phenomenon of Chungermania running wild and unbridled!

And I think it's good booking, nothing else. Nia is going to face Asuka at Takeover, so here's a big win for her. Now Bayley will have to go through Jax again to get to Asuka. She will get her rematch with Asuka presumably at the Takeover before Summerslam, where she should regain the strap. I think Bayley should stick around NXT until 2017, no need to rush.

Silly me for throwing around the sacred G-word so recklessly

One of the best lines uttered by anyone ever on Titans

Great match between Bayley and Nia Jax on this week's show

Jake claimed years ago that the program was torpedoed because he was getting face heat and "DDT" chants in the matches. Seems to me the timing, in early 87, wasn't right for it to succeed, with Jake well on his way to becoming a face and Hogan gearing up for Mania 3 vs Andre

Nothing to complete. The focus on the show going forward is individual wrestlers. The show will last as long as I feel like doing it

why? Because I have never once had enough time to listen to a podcast from this board in one sitting. And while I enjoy the long shows much of time (and have even done some myself), it would be nice to have at least one show that lasts about the length of a work commute and then it's over. Eventually I think something like this will happen and almost become a common occurance. Right now the gimmick is GO LONG or not to sacrifice detail. I don't think many shows have tried narrowing the focus of individual episodes. I hear this show only goes about 45 minutes http://prowrestlingonly.com/index.php?/topic/34221-at-the-garden-series-preview-wrestling-at-msg-1880-1938/&do=findComment&comment=5753212

Funny, because my argument against long podcasts is the Lapsed Fan Starrcade death slog given the numbers theyre doing your argument doesnt hold a lot of weight Now now, kids, don't worry. A lot of us have zero interest in hearing anyone do podcasts about wrestling (anything at all, maybe?) for any significant length of time. Although summer is coming, and that means long-drive season. What I might go for--and I realize this is an absolutely unrealistic amount of editing--would be a magazine-style collection of the best segments from one series, or even a few combined. Come, give Titans a sample and let us win your cold, podcast hating heart https://soundcloud.com/jerryvonkramer/sets/the-best-of-titans-of

That is very true. I remember when I first started podcasting being concerned about editing out tangents and bits that didn't pertain to the main topic, but soon gave up because it was time consuming and nobody seemed to care either way

Come on, no new WWE TV thread so we can talk about the first ever Asylum match being announced for Extreme Rules, between Ambrose and Jericho, with scary music playing in the background as Ambrose tells Y2J about it?
