143 - Survivor Series 2008

It's time to bury The Undertaker and The Big Show's rivalry with a Casket Match! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they close out 2008 with a Survivor Series showdown between The Dead Man and The World's Largest Athlete in Taker's signature match. Show and Taker are 1 and 1 in their recent rivalry and this match should settle the score. But all of the sudden The Big Show has a paralyzing fear of caskets, and the Grim Reaper has one of the most unique finishes ever set up to capitalize on it. We'll analyze the match plus we'll cover all the craziness leading up to it including a Casket Match preview against Chavo Guerrero, the 800th episode of Raw, a subtle start to the WrestleMania 25 build, Undertaker facing off with Vladimir Koslov, a tantalizing preview of a rivalry with Jeff Hardy that we never got to fully see, Big Show turning into Homer Simpson, Tazz's ridiculous analogies, and so much more.

Be sure to listen to our special Watch-Along with The Bottom Line Wrestling Cast as we cover The Undertaker vs. Chris Benoit as well as Stone Cold vs. The Rock vs. Kurt Angle vs. Rikishi at Rebellion 2000! It's the only place you'll ever get to hear us cover this rare Undertaker PPV match - don't miss it!
