Tuesday Night Titans (later Wrestling TNT) is an American professional wrestling talk show produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It aired on the USA Network from May 29, 1984 to September 24, 1986. The two-hour show began airing on Tuesday nights from on May 29 to December 18, 1984. From January 4, 1985 to March 28, 1986, the show was cut to one-hour and moved to Friday nights. On April 2, 1986, the show was moved to Wednesday nights, where it remained there until its final episode on September 24, 1986. All episodes of Tuesday Night Titans are available on the WWE Network.

Overview

This format was that of standard late-night talk show, with host Vince McMahon and "sidekick" Lord Alfred Hayes conducting in character interviews with WWF wrestlers and participating in skits. [1] The show was one of the most watched on cable – averaging a 2.7 rating (734,000 householders) during its first six months on the air. [2] In episode 87, Gene Okerlund replaced McMahon as host, and remained host for the last 13 episodes. An in-studio audience would react to wrestlers in kayfabe, booing the bad guys and getting excited for heroic characters.

The program was named after the WWF's then-parent company, Titan Sports. It was taped at the Video One facilities in Owings Mills, Maryland, a suburb of Baltimore.

Episodes of TNT were re-aired on WWE Classics on Demand from November 2004 to February 2009. As of 2022, all 99 episodes are available for streaming on the WWE Network. [3]

Three EC-121Hs from the 551st Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing were lost between 1965 and 1967. The wing flew continuous missions over the Atlantic Ocean 24 hours a day, seven days a week. [1] An EC-121H and its nineteen-member crew would take off from Otis Air Force Base every two hours and fly for up to 15 hours. [2]

At 10:20 pm on July 11, 1965, the pilot of an EC-121H returning to Otis from a mission over the Atlantic radioed that one of its engines was on fire. Two minutes later, a radio operator at Coast Guard Base Boston heard the pilot say "I am at 200 feet and ditching". [3] The plane was ditched about 85 miles north of Nantucket. [2] It broke up upon hitting the water and sank almost within minutes. [4] The EC-121H carried life rafts in its wings, however the wings were torn apart upon hitting the water and the rafts sank. [5]

A search and rescue mission was launched by the military and civilian volunteers. [2] A Pan Am jet en-route to Paris circled the area for roughly 20 minutes, but was unable to see the plane through the darkness and fog. [4] Around midnight, an emergency signal was detected. [2] The initial search covered an area 120 miles long and 80 miles wide and debris and flares were spotted around dawn on the morning of July 12.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page). On July 17, 1965, the United States Coast Guard announced it was discontinuing its search for the remaining 7 crewmembers. [6]

Prior to the 1965 crash, the 551st Airborne Early Warning and Control Wing had not lost a man or a plane in 10 years of continuous flying. [7]
