138 - Judgment Day 2008

It's a game of Keep Away with the World Heavyweight Title 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 the next chapter of The Dead Man's rivalry with Edge and Vickie Guerrero and all the tricks they play on Taker heading into Judgment Day 2008. The Phenom is looking to begin a dominant reign over Smackdown thanks to "That Submission Maneuver". But Vickie and her Familia quickly use their power to dash those dreams and strip Taker of the gold. The heat is off the charts for this one, and we'll discuss just how hated La Familia was during this time. Along the way we'll also cover another showdown with The Great Khali, a Championship Chase with a perfectly booked ending, Teddy Long finally telling off Vickie, a month's worth of flubbed lines, Mick Foley coming for Travis's King Of Dad Jokes crown, the bizarre logic of the WWE's board of directors, Vickie Guerrero's first ever match, and so much more. Plus we'll preview the big Boneyard Match between The Undertaker and AJ Styles at this weekend's WrestleMania 36! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
