It is shown that a technicolor theory containing a color-octet technipion, usually denoted by P80′, will give rise to an enhancement of ttˉ production at the Tevatron, LHC and SSC, via the process gg→P80′→ttˉ. The relevant cross-sections are computed taking into account the large lower bound on the top mass coming from the "top search" experiments at LEP and CDF. At the LHC and SSC, the signal is found to be comparable to the QCD background, making the process quite accesible.
