Rather ironically, Tuesday Night Titans was often abbreviated to 'TNT'. Years later, WCW Monday Nitro would air on the TNT network, which is an interesting little slice of humour in the entire WWF vs. WCW war. Debuting in 1984, Tuesday Night Titans only ran until 1986, but wasn't taken off the air without making a huge impression on those who watched it. Completely different to anything that had come before, TNT was the WWF's attempt to parody popular late-night chat shows of the 1980's. Initially, Vince McMahon was the main host, and he kept the show running through all the madcap guests and segments featured. Rarely was match footage even shown, TNT was all about endearing the colourful characters of the WWF to a new audience. Hosted on the USA Network, Tuesday Night Titans still has a cult following to this day. 'Mean' Gene Okerlund would later take over from McMahon in the hot seat, and his easy-going nature made the show very entertaining. The show is available on the WWE Network, and it comes highly recommended. TNT remains a vital reference when exploring the WWF's national and global expansion.
