126 - No Way Out 2007

The road to WrestleMania 23 hits a speed bump with a huge Tag Team Match...Playa! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover the main event of No Way Out 2007 featuring the interpromotional clash of Taker and Batista going against Raw's Champion John Cena and Shawn Michaels. The match between Mania Main Events might have seemed kinda meaningless at the time, but we'll analyze if it's worth rewatching now that you don't have to pay $40 to see it. We'll also discuss the beginning of the build to Batista and The Undertaker's World Title Match including the unforgettable segment where The Dead Man chooses between all 3 World Champions for his WrestleMania opponent - all without saying a word. Along the way we'll also discuss Batista's payback promise, another ECW appearance, the laughable notion of Undertaker choosing Bobby Lashley, our future President showing up on Raw, Ric Flair calling out Carlito, Michael Cole shooting on Vince McMahon, what the stakes for this tag match should have been, and the best fan story we've heard in the history of our show as one listener describes how The Undertaker led to him and his wife forming their forever tag team. Plus Alex and Travis share their memories of Jushin Thunder Liger in the wake of his retirement. And Alex unboxes a very special Christmas present from Travis live on the air! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
