127 - WrestleMania 23

The Phenom tries to make it 15-0 at WrestleMania 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 Dead Man's historic clash with Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship at Mania 23. We'll go in-depth analyzing one of Taker's best-reviewed matches to see if it still holds up 13 years later. Plus we'll discuss all of the historical context and just why this match truly sent The Undertaker's legacy into another stratosphere. We'll also cover our memories of watching the show together live as well as all the build-up including a hidden gem of match against Finlay, Kristal Marshall saying one of the dumbest things we've ever heard, our future President hanging out with The Boogeyman, Vince McMahon's blatant lie about a "once in a lifetime" match, Teddy Long's dream coming true, and so much more. Finally, we'll talk about Kane's recent appearance on the Broken Skull Sessions and give a review of his new autobiography.
