View Full Version : First Titantron?
Who had the first Titantron, in the sense that they came out with a music video playing?
Near impossible to determine, since it could well be an untelevized show somewhere.

Complete guess, but I'd be willing to bet that if it wasn't Hogan that it might have been JYD with the Piledriver video:

I'll say that there probably wasn't a "first" because they probably started to use them when they already had a bunch ready to use.

Who was the first person to come out on the first raw that they had to Tron?

I remember they showed the logos for a while when coming to the ring.
The first people I recall actually having videos were Diesel and Bret.

Diesel definitely came out, in WWF, to a video of a lorry driving through a screen on the 'titantron' of the time..
Proper 'now' video it wasn't, but its the first example I can remember, along with Bret of a video playing on the screen.

They both have videos in this match, but Bret has a proper 'now' style video.

Here is your probolem. You are confusing the TITANTRON (The Big Screen starting in 1997 on RAW) with just any video screen.
So lets decide this. Xero. Are you asking about someone having a video play on screens (So really any IYH PPV in the Mid 90s) - or the actual Titantron.

I would imagine Bret had his video before Diesel. I think they used that video package at Wrestlemania X but I don't know when they put it on the screen.

I think the problem here is the term 'titantron' is used to describe a wrestlers entrance video as well as the big screen on Raw.
