The Tevatron experiments CDF and DO are close to making definitive statements about the technicolor discovery mode rhoT -> W piT for M(rhoT) <~ 230 GeV and M(piT) <~ 125 GeV. We propose new incisive tests for this mode and searches for others that may be feasible at the Tevatron and certainly are at the LHC. The other searches include two long discussed, namely, omegaT -> gamma piT and l+l-, and a new one -- for the IG JPC = 1- 1++ partner, aT, of the rhoT. Adopting the argument that the technicolor contribution to S is reduced if M(aT) is near M(rhoT), we enumerate important aT decays and estimate production rates at the colliders.
