108 - Royal Rumble 2005

It's the return of the Casket Match - and the return of Heidenreich! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they kick off 2005 with one of El Hombre Muerto's signature matches and a Royal Rumble clash with one of his worst opponents. Is it one of the most embarrassing in-ring performances we've ever covered on the show? Or is it actually surprisingly entertaining? Our hosts were split on this one and they'll both argue their cases as we cover the match and all the wild build-up. Along the way we'll talk Taker's first Tribute To The Troops, Feretrophobia, a historic quote from Theodore Long, Heidenreich's continual lack of clothes, the temporary burial of The Dead Man's greatest rival, Taker's side-hustle creating wax figures, more poetry smackdowns, even more absurd Cole and Tazz commentary quotes, the Brothers Of Destruction reunion, WrestleMania plans with "Snitskenreich" that never came to fruition, and some shoot interview insight from the Blond Haired Psychotic Poet himself! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!  Pick up the BRAND NEW King Of *GONG* Style shirt & merch at TeePublic to help support the show!
