Titanes en el ring

Titanes en el ring (Titans in the ring) was an Argentine lucha libre television program aired between 1962 and 1988. It was created by Martín Karadagian, who also appeared regularly in the show, in which he was regarded as the "World Champion".[1][2] Originally focused on adult audience, during the years it was gradually adapted for targeting a younger audience.[1] It enjoyed its peak popularity in the early 1970s; in 1972 a Titanes en el Ring music album, featuring the theme songs of the wrestlers, got a large commercial success, and from the same year tapes of the shows started being exported abroad.[1] In 1973 a deal with the Felfort-brand of chocolate bonbons "Jack" also helped to popularize the program and its athletes.[1] In the 1970s the show also did two large tours in Latin America.[1] Two films based on the show were produced: Titanes en el ring, released in 1973, and Titanes en el ring contrataca, released in 1984.
