106 - Royal Rumble 1991 Watch-Along

Our time-traveling hearse is spinning out of control as we take a detour from our encyclopedic exploration all the way back to 1991! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they give you sort of a bonus show and hit one of the matches they skipped over in the early days of the podcast as The Dead Man enters his very first Royal Rumble in just his second ever PPV appearance. We're doing this one watch-along style so we'll give you the timestamp on the WWE Network so you can cue it up and listen as we provide an alternate running commentary for this true throwback. But don't worry - as usual it's just as entertaining even if you can't watch the match along with us. The Undertaker, still flanked by Brother Love at this point, makes quite the impact as he comes in about midway through the match. We'll discuss this earliest incarnation of his character, what defining traits were already shining through, and a rivalry that begins in this match that would last over 25 years! Plus we'll riff on the likes of Hulk Hogan, The Nasty Boys, The Bushwhackers, Saba Simba, Shane McMahon, Bret Hart, Greg Valentine, Texas Tornado, Haku, Tugboat, and more! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy! Pick up the BRAND NEW King Of *GONG* Style shirt & merch at TeePublic to help support the show! Check out our Spotify Playlist highlighting all the music featured across our episodes throughout the years and see if you can remember which songs went with each match!  Join our Creature Community by following us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!
