Titans of Wrestling

Originally released June 26, 2016

As part of the first Titans-Two-In-One, Kelly and Johnny discuss the  road to the infamous boxer vs wrestler match between Muhammad Ali and  Antonio Inoki from June 25 (26 in Japan), 1976! Among the fantastic  footage discussed:

-Muhammad Ali/Gorilla Monsoon angle, June 1 (aired June 5), 1976 Philadelphia Arena

-Muhammad Ali vs Buddy Wolfe, June 12 ABC Wide World of Sports

-Muhammad Ali vs "Sodbuster" Kenny Jay, June 12 International Amphitheater, Chicago

-Muhammad Ali and Freddie Blassie on the Tonight Show, hosted by McLean Stevenson, June 14

-Pre-fight footage from Japanese TV

And  then, exclusively on Dailymotion (because this is something YouTube  doesn't want you to see!), Mystery Titans Theatre has Kelly and Johnny  look at, not only all 15, um, interesting rounds of Ali vs Inoki, but  also the forgotten classic (seriously!) between Andre the Giant and  heavyweight boxer Chuck Wepner from Shea Stadium.

So listen to the road to the fight discussion on Titans #62,  then watch the fights on Dailymotion, and finally come back to the pod  as Kelly and Johnny wrap things up and make some important announcements  regarding future podcasts.

Titans-Two-In-One! Because JUST a podcast on one of the worst matches of all time is not enough!
