Parv is busy juggling the birds, so join the Three Wise Men of Wrestling Podcasting as they examine Black History Month footage from the WWE Network. Three Hall of Fame features are examined: Bobo Brazil, Ernie Ladd and Tony Atlas.

*Bonus BRAINBUSTER! trivia, sponsored by the man of the hour, Johnny Sorrow*

-Who had an incredibly boring match with Bruiser Brody at MSG in 1976?

-Who cuts an absolutely amazing promo on WWWF TV?

-Who wrestled in a Superman outfit at a Texas rodeo?

All will be answered on Titans of Wrestling #43!!!

Dug this show a ton, surprised on one hand to see Atlas portrayed as the biggest star of the three coming out of all of them as on the surface level, he is #3 to me. I am really fascinated by Ernie Ladd as a figure in wrestling overall. Did Bobo get an NWA title match before someone like Sailor Art Thomas? Hopefully, we get more drops like these on the network.

Their is an Easter Egg after the end music.

What an easter egg this is.

[Johnny Sorrow]

I stand by my "black balls" joke as being awesome and perfectly timed.

That Ladd promo was really great. Loved how he got excited then went back to the more subtle menacing tone. The Howlin' Wolf tune before the easter egg was sweet also. As for the easter egg I'm just glad I never went to college in Texas.

Pete,

 

Walter Payton went to Jackson State. Doug Williams was a Grambling guy tho.

[shoe]

You're right.

[JerryvonKramer]

Good job guys. Loved the drops on this Kelly.

 

Also, Pete's Easter egg, lol. Kelly if you have kept any of the old recordings, we could put out a "best of off-air chat". You always keep it rolling, whereas I hit "off" on the record as soon as humanly possible. Ha ha. But it might be time the world heard jdw-Vader.

A couple of months back, after some mild Hardcore History withdrawal, I started listening to Titans from the start. Up to episode 32 now. The journey has been bunches of fun. Love the banter, impressions, esoteric biographies, musical interludes, in jokes etc. Parv and Sorrow are the two best wres podcast personalities going. I must have looked like a loon laughing on the underground at Parv's out of left field ramble about Tony Atlas' "twelve year old girls bum", and the in depth analysis of Kal Rudmans weirdness.

 

Thanks for the work and keep it up.

[Ricky Jackson]

Thanks for the kind words man
