Ricky Jackson Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Two different Mr. Clean/Mr. Kleen wrestlers from the 60s (not to be confused with Mr. Clean, aka the Grand Wizard, aka Ernie Roth). Also pictured in the second photo, Handy Andy, aka "Mini-Kleen". The Mr. Kleen in the second photo is named Ed Albers, and according to him, "There must have been 50..." guys working Mr. Clean gimmicks in the 60s.

KDSlone Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I wanted to post my appreciation to Parv, James, Johnny, Pete and Kelly for the Titan's podcasts. I just discovered them last week and have burned through most of them already. Entertainment personified my friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 Thanks a lot for listening. The comments mean a lot. I do the show because it's a lot of fun. Though to get feedback really does make doing it much more worthwhile. Glad your enjoying the shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow34 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 "I'll gladly pay you tomorrow for a blowjob today, McMahon" got an audible "what the fuck" from me at work. Well played, Johnny! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow34 Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 This may be my favorite episode so far. You guys have really developed an awesome flow, which isn't easy with five of you on at once. The Smarky Randy Orton Babysitter character needs to be developed into a sitcom for sure.

bradhindsight Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 The Manager Mt. Rushmore was a good conversation - even if Parv was outright dismissive of Sherri No one mentioned Paul E. as a potential fringe guy? His latest run (where they even used the super old school stipulation of "5 minutes alone w/ the manager") has him close in my opinion. Heenan, Cornette, Jimmy Hart are consensus locks with some good dialogue from everyone on who rounds things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 8am in the morning, driving in wall-to-wall rush hour traffic and i'm laughing uncontrollably at fucking Johnny's "I was basically finger-banging Ricky Morton" story - and Parv trying to deflect back on topic busted me up again. I feel like James teed up this story by design - either way, thank you sir for doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He portrayed a great athlete who didn't bullshit the fans and made you feel his pain and anger. No one has done promos like that since Mick Foley.

Kevin Ridge Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 My wrestling viewing has been limited lately due to work so took me a while to finish youtubing this and then listening to show. Actually popped disc is first time late at night and after watching the first Bruno promo to open things I shut off my TV as I felt I wouldn't watching anything better the rest of way. What a promo the fact that he topped it later was even more awesome. Larry has really picked up too as he became way more interesting with this heel turn. Mount Rushmore of Wrestling Managers for me is Heenan, Cornette, Jimmy Hart and... Sherri Martel!!! I"m with Kelly on really liking her. I liked the Duncum/Backlund matches but good points about them seeming to be out of sequence with Backlund winning clean first match and things getting closer over the next two. I know Johnny picked the Monsoon tag match as his favorite but damn did I really get into this as it went on. Gorilla was great and loved his huge bump at the end of the match. Looks like Monsoon could still go and be effective in tag teams. The Larry/Bruno matches were off the charts with the crowd heat. I had the same exact view as Pete on the Philly one when watching thinking it would be more violent at first before picking up that it was all part of the storyline with the promos leading up. Bruno's delayed hulk up is so great and he builds it awesomely and his timing of letting loose on Larry has the crowd going to another level. Really enjoyed both Matches. Hard to pick a favorite but probably the New York one, barely. Backlund/Sika was crap but the first hour and forty minutes of wrestling before this was a hell of a fun time. I enjoyed these matches and listening to you guys a heck of a lot more than being at Survivor Series. Excellent bios, haiku from James! and loved the stories from Johnny/Heenan to Parv's magical experience at the picture palace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lust Hogan Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Really great show!! I was primarily a WTBBP listener but took a chance on the WWF stuff and fell in love with what you guys are doing. I'll have to go check out this footage when I get the chance. Again, kudos to all!!
