Hello everybody and welcome to another PTSM Network Classic as we roll along through the

0:16.5

WWE Network doing watchalongs for some of the classic programming.

0:22.6

And here is some classic programming, which we're going to be watching today.

0:28.0

We're going to go back into the vaults of the Titan Towers, I guess,

0:34.4

because that's what it was known back then, Titan Television.

0:38.6

And we're going to have another episode of Tuesday Night Titans.
