Revision as of 20:43, 14 April 2007 by 68.1.175.44 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Tuesday Night Titans (often abbreviated TNT) was a weekly professional wrestling program, produced by the World Wrestling Federation, that aired on the USA Network from 1984 to roughly 1986 or 1987.
This format is best remembered for being a loose parody of a standard late-night talk show (spoofing in particular The Tonight Show), with host Vince McMahon and "sidekick" Lord Alfred Hayes conducting interviews with WWF wrestlers and participating in skits. Later in the run Gene Okerlund replaced McMahon as host.
The name of the program came from what at the time was the name of the WWF's parent company, Titan Sports. Successors to the show included WWF Excess and WWE Byte This!.
Episodes of TNT have been re-aired and can only be seen on WWE 24/7.
