BONUS - The WrestleMania 25-28 Tetralogy with Spenser ”St. Ridley” Santos

It's a very special BONUS episode of Talking Taker as co-host Alex Doriot joins friend of the show Spenser "St. Ridley" Santos to analyze the complete story of the Undertaker/Shawn Michaels/Triple H WrestleMania saga! Spenser is a college professor who has taught about this 4-match epic tale in his English classes, so he's got a unique, educated perspective on this story you won't hear anywhere else. We'll discuss how the story truly starts with Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair from WrestleMania 24, the importance of Shawn's storyline with JBL to this feud, comparisons with "Beowulf", how all 3 of the matches after the first one nearly didn't happen, HBK being the true central character in the tale, the importance of the entrance music in each match, the humanity of The Dead Man, epic dives, finisher reversals, and so much more. It's the perfect companion to Alex and Travis's analysis as we dive into the beginning of this saga with our WrestleMania 25 episode coming up on the show next. So download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
