We like to save the old mud beds where ever possible, but the condition of your bed is in question. Do the cracks in the tile go into the mudbed?

Rent an electric demo hammer and a 3" wide bit. That wil take the tiles off pretty quickly. If you decide to remove the mud bed, the demo hammer wil help there, too.
