147 - WrestleMania 25

It's Heaven against Hell! It's the light against the darkness! It's Mr. WrestleMania vs. The WrestleMania Streak! It's Shawn Michaels vs. The Undertaker on this week's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover what many fans call the greatest WrestleMania match of all time from the 25th annual (not the 25th anniversary) show of shows. It's a match we've been dying to cover since day one of the podcast, and we go all out and in-depth on every aspect of this all-time classic. We're talking about it all including JBL and HBK vying for the spot against Taker, Koslov butting his way into the feud with a clean win over The Dead Man (and then getting left off the Mania card!), Shawn's video editing skills, the arrogance of The Showstopper, Tazz becoming Perd Hapley, a graveyard desecration, Shawn's "Man In White" promo that gave Travis goosebumps, HBK getting the upper hand at every turn, the epic pair of entrances before the match, the dive that made every fan's heart skip a beat, the near-falls that had us all leaping out of our seats, and so much more. Plus we talk about watching this one live together back in the day and share your memories as well! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
