| 0:00.0 | What is going on? |
| 0:01.3 | Guys, thank you so very much for joining us right here on Tuesday night. It is Tuesday Night Titans episode 130 for your Tuesday, January 20th, 2006. I'm your host, J.D., from New York. As always, joined by the one and only the man who auditioned to be the real Mr. elegance. Unfortunately, he didn't get it. Salamance. What's going on, brother? I think I could have made that gimmick work. I really do |
| 0:23.5 | Mr. Eleg on, brother? I think I could have made that gimmick work. |
| 0:41.8 | I really do. Mr. Elegance, huh? Mr. Elegance. Oh, my God. I haven't seen, I've never seen such a horrible, we have in the last several years, man, such a horrible pro wrestling segment, man. That was awful. You know, it reminded me of like sort of the darker days of raw and some of the, |
| 0:46.9 | something we would have seen like 10 years ago or even in the old days of impact. |
| 0:50.9 | I mean, I've seen worse than that. But yeah, it was very out of place, I would say, |
| 1:29.8 | on what was supposed to be their best foot forward, JD. This was going to be their big coming out party on AMC, and we see Perez Hilton introducing Mr. Elegance. Oh, don't spoil all the fun, man. We got some burials to do. I don't know if Moose is, I don't know if Moose is watching. Maybe he has a problem with what we say here tonight. I don't know. Chef Moose. Yes. Chef Moose, yes. I like me some dessert moose, you know, but that moose that we didn't really care for. No. We'll definitely get into that. TNA, AMC, apparently the ratings are out. In the in line with what we talked about the last couple weeks when kind of building the show up. |
| 1:30.0 | I think that I think they did somewhere in the vicinity of 174,000 viewers with a 0.04 in |
| 1:36.4 | the 18th of 49. |
| 1:37.6 | So, I mean, they've closed the gap on collision a little bit, but the 500,000, the number two |
| 1:43.4 | promotion in the United States, |
| 1:44.8 | they got a long way to go, man, long way to go. |
| 1:48.7 | I mean, did anybody honestly believe that to begin with? |
| 1:52.2 | I mean, I don't know. |
| 1:54.0 | I know Bischoff was peddling that last year. |
| 1:56.1 | I think he was trying to will it into existence. |
| 1:58.4 | So he didn't really do that many favors |
| 2:00.5 | by setting the expectations |
| 2:01.9 | so high that they couldn't possibly be met. No, no, like I said, we'll definitely get into that. |
| 2:08.2 | We've got a lot to say there. Will Hobbs, powerhouse Hobbs on his way to WWE. We will definitely |
| 2:13.2 | talk about how that all came about and where we think he might fit in best over on the |
