044 - Royal Rumble 1998

The Undertaker attempts to finally bury Shawn Michaels, but not before his brother Kane has something to say about it on an all new Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover the main event of Royal Rumble 1998 - a Casket Match for the WWF Championship between The Phenom and The Heartbreak Kid that changes the course of WWF history. We're breaking down the intense and evolving family dynamics between Kane and The Dead Man leading into the show as well as the incredible match and the blink-and-you'll miss it injury which nearly ended Shawn's career. Along the way we'll talk about The Undertaker's cymbal-playing skills, Paul Bearer's vicious putdowns and Emmy-worthy acting, Kane's battle with The Geek Squad, the reason why Chainz never got promo time, Chyna's new "enhancement talents", the original Fingerpoke of Doom, the Cure For The Common Show, many prescient comments about the year to come, another surefire way to get someone over, the desecration of the casket, Triple H coming into his own, Taker's wonky casket match record, and so much more. Plus Alex shares his AOL memories and Travis hatches a conspiracy theory. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy all you Leeches Of The Night! Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!
