Ricky Jackson Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 http://placetobenation.com/titans-of-wrest...-the-unspecial/ Join the Titans as their world is turned upside down when they venture into the realm of total pro wrestling absurdity. (No five-star matches here folks!) Kelly assumes the hosting seat and is joined by the rest of the Fabulous Four--Johnny, Pete and Parv--for a look at wrestling that would cause smarks to break their fingers on their keyboards from pounding away in disgust faster than the latest rant about the misuse of Daniel Bryan. Yes! This is the Unspecial.

Kevin Ridge Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Was watching most of the matches during work today. Damn, I really could have used a couple drinks to get through them. I am looking forward to the big main event of DeNucci versus Hogan! I'm sure it will be close to four stars at least. Cannot wait to listen to the podcast once I'm done.

Kevin Ridge Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Titans of Wrestling most devoted follower! Do I win the Edge DVD? Jump the Shark Cage. I laughed. These were some rough matches to get through. Sober was not the way to go. I agree with Parv on Butcher as he mostly does the same thing in every match. I have not seen his earlier stuff so maybe he will surprise me. Did like his Olympic Slam here which was the only wrestling move for whole match. Dislike Sheik's act and usually do not like these type of matches but yeah it does end up as one of the best matches on show. Butcher/Kamata finished tied for second in Real World League Tag. Team of Sheik/Mephisto finished dead last with zero points. Probably all count out/disqualification loses. Johnny Morrow with a promo we can understand. Bad battle royal and crazy that Kiniski wrestled five times on his last day of wrestling. Morrow just stood around in that battle royal. So was hard to see what he could do in ring. Knew you guys would be all over the play by play guy and the astrological signs and other bio stuff he brought up. Kelly will need to add jobbers astrological signs to his bios. Best I have seen of Swede Hanson. Steamboat probably had most to do with that with his selling but thought this was decent TV match. Johnny now lusting about Steamboat to go along with Garea. That would have been so great if someone picked up phone at the Irvington Body Shop. Rose and Valentine going at it on the mic was funny. Not much of a wrestling match but they did what they could. Backlund was in amazing shape. Looks like he could still go. Does he even wrestle still though? Patera was sad to look at it. Had no business being in the ring after so many years off and not being in shape at all. Was not on camera but a fan threw something at Foley with Mick calling them out. He must have raced off once show ended. Bockwinkel beats Foley in my opinion for who was best guest announcing job. Jobbers the Musical! Actually damn good idea. Even Pete was doing some singing here. It would be so awesome if one of these jobbers ends up hearing their bio on Titans. Pete Doherty must have a statue somewhere in Dorchester, MA . Oh, Dominic. I thought you were going to beat Hogan. I would have liked to see crazy Dominic show up. Vince was burying Dominic on commentary. Must have been easier to do that with Bruno not on as color commentator. I thought I hit the pause button on my Ipod in error when it went all quiet. Nope, still in play mode but just silence until the Jaws theme starts up. Johnny was amazing doing Quint's speech. One of the funniest bits I have heard. People need to listen to that. Bravo Johnny. They could have brought Harley Race in for Jaws 2 as Quint's revenge seeking brother. Match was garbage as would be so easy to escape such a small cage. I do want to hear Meltzer and Cornette on commetary with it being on those Wrestling Gold dvds. Well done Kelly with running the show! I applaud Lead Analyst Pete for even attempting to break down these matches. He could have taken the night off. Titans TV sounds interesting. You guys did not do your usual MVP picks. I would have loved to hear who was the worst performer of the night. Patera? Shark Cage door? The whole battle royal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peachchaos Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 yeah, great show guys though, you all seemed way higher on that Hogan/DD match, but I suppose that one does look pretty swell after all the other unspecials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradhindsight Posted February 5, 2014 Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 "Garea" to the tune of Maria from West Side Story definitely needs fleshed out lyrics. I'm sure Johnny could whip those up in just a couple of minutes. My Titans deadpan of the week goes to Parv in this sequence: "Parv, a designated hitter is a baseball thing. Since that probably went over your head" Parv: "Right" (totally disinterested) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
