The boys get together to say goodbye

I've been doing internet radio and podcasting for a long time. This is the proudest I've been of any show I've done, and all credit to Kelly for an amazing production job.

[Matt D]

Will catch it on the commute tomorrow. Looking forward to it even though I'm wishing it was for less sad reasons.

[Richeyedwards]

I got into Bruno thanks to the titans and I know how much you guys liked him. This was a really good listen and the twenty-five or so minutes at the end is beautiful.

[Word Hoard]

Everyone should stop what they're doing and listen to this episode right now. It's so good.

 

Am I the only one who got way too excited for the surprise Titans of Wrestling reunion?

[Shrike02]

It even features a hit song by Winnipeg's own Crash Test Dummies!

 

I can remember going out to buy their first CD in 1991 at A&B Sound, a Vancouver institution that's sadly been shuttered for a while. I'm getting old ...

I'm a long time listener of the Titans and it was a great tribute show to Bruno.

[Outsider]

Bruno was before my time and I remember first hearing his name on AWA when Larry Zybysco would do promos and would talk about beating Legendary champions like Nick Bockwienkel and Samartino. I would really like to hear from Larry right now on his thoughts.

Last thing I want to say: Bruno was a real stand up guy. Family man. And always stuck to his guns.

I really enjoyed the Bruno package on the network. Savage bumping for him was awesome.

[Karl]

Loved this show. A very nice obituary to the great man and also a reminder of the special chemistry all four of you had which made Titans the very best of all the wrestling podcasts.

[JKWebb]

I too got into Bruno thanks to you guys, and he is now one of my personal favorite wrestlers of all-time. So, thanks for that, and this podcast! It was great!

[Ricky Jackson]

Thanks so much for all the complements guys. This was a special show for numerous reasons and definitely one I'll always remember. Titans 4 Life

[DeanColes1987]

Amazing show, like others have said because of you guys putting him over I decided to actually watch his stuff and because of it gained a new appreciation and respect for just how awesome Bruno was.

[Johnny Sorrow]

Thanks so much, guys.

[TheDuke]

Love this episode! Great stuff. Thanks for putting this together.

 

Now I'm expecting Parv to talk you guys into doing a followup episode about Adnan Al-Kaissie.

[SPS]

A fun listen and brightened my mind up during such a sombre period with Bruno's passing. Thanks for the great show guys.

[cheapshot]

A great listen!

[Outsider]

Love this episode! Great stuff. Thanks for putting this together.

 

Now I'm expecting Parv to talk you guys into doing a followup episode about Adnan Al-Kaissie.

Please don't tell me Sheik Al-Kaissie left us!? He was my favorite of all the "sheiks" probably because I am too young for Ed Farhat and Iron Sheik is Iranian and didn't get to see Xander the Great in ring much in WCCW.

ANYHOO I hope General Adnan is okay. I saw photos of him at cauliflower alley and he looked great with silver white hair and no mustache. He is a great family guy and still resides in the Minnesota twin cities area from last I heard.

Please don't tell me Sheik Al-Kaissie left us!?

No no, its just a joke. At the end of the episode Parv kept talking about Adnan for some reason and Kelly cut him out and closed the show, so I was trying to be a smartass.
