171 - Raw Is War 6/28/99 Watch-Along With The Bottom Line Wrestling Cast

We're joined by our brothers from The Bottom Line Wrestling Cast to discuss the most-watched wrestling match in cable television history! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they take a detour from their journey through every Undertaker PPV match to cover this unique achievement in The Dead Man's career as he faced Stone Cold Steve Austin on June 28, 1999 in a match that over 10 million people watched live. As The Undertaker celebrates his 30th anniversary we thought this was a fitting time to look back at this record-setting moment. Of course we had to bring in the resident Stone Cold experts Mike and JV to discuss the match with us. And since we already had them here, we decided to watch this entire episode of classic Attitude Era Raw Is War! So grab some Chef Boyardee and a can of Surge, cue up this show on the WWE Network, and join us for a raucous watch-along party. We'll cover it all including the very 90s fashion on display, all the crazy crowd signs, Billy Gunn popping up way too many times, the battle between boxers and briefs, Paul Bearer's deadly shoe, ridiculous ravioli commercials, what WCW Nitro was airing at the same time as this show, and the movies and music and tv shows that were at the top of the charts on this day in history. Plus we discuss all the non-stop action involving Steve Blackman, Ken Shamrock, The Godfather, Faarooq, P.M.S., Ivory, Nicole Bass, X-Pac, Jeff Jarrett, The Rock Triple H, Midian, The Mean Street Posse, Test, and more! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
