152 - Bragging Rights 2009

The Undertaker defends his World Title against 3 of the greatest of all-time in a hidden gem 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 a Fatal 4 Way at Bragging Rights 2009 between "The Distinguished and Deadly Demon Of Death Valley", CM Punk, Batista, and Rey Mysterio. It's ok if you don't remember this one - we didn't either - but it's a unique and fun sprint of a battle that's worth revisiting. We'll break down all the action as well as the the build including Undertaker's new nickname from JR, more confusing tension between Teddy Long and Vince McMahon, the one promo from Undertaker that ties this match together, Batista and Rey Mysterio's friendship unraveling, a Submission Match rematch with CM Punk, why the Bragging Rights concept was such a dud, The King's "literal" mangling of the English language, and so much more.
