165 - WrestleMania 25/26 Watch-Along With Randy Turco

We celebrate the legendary streak with one of our legendary fans on this week's special edition of Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they are joined by fellow superfan and friend of the show Randy "Pokey's Little Dog" Turco as they provide an alternate running commentary for both Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels WrestleMania matches back to back to compare them. Randy joining us is a far better addition than Insufferable Fool Matt Striker, and as always we'll give you the timestamp on the WWE Network for you to watch along, but it's just as entertaining even if you don't watch the matches with us. You've heard Randy's Twitter comments on the show since nearly the beginning and we discuss many of the epic stories he's had since being one of The Undertaker's biggest fans including how Royal Rumble 2007 led to him meeting his wife (who even does a run-in on the show) and the eBay rivalry that Randy and Alex had over an Undertaker hat! Then we go in-depth on all the nuances of two of the greatest WrestleMania matches of all time as we discuss the many connections and callbacks in Taker and HBK's battles. Plus Randy points out a number of things we had never even noticed in these matches and you might not have either! It's a fun-filled conversation that makes you feel like you're right there with us in the living room having a PPV party like the old days. So cue up your WWE Network, turn the sound down, download, and Taker Easy!
