181 - Crown Jewel 2018

It's The Brothers Of Destruction vs Degeneration X for the first time ever - hold on to your wigs! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover the dream match that turned into a nightmare at Crown Jewel 2018. Eight years after being retired by The Undertaker at WrestleMania 26, Shawn Michaels made his return to the ring alongside Triple H to take on Taker and Kane. What could possibly go wrong? Turns out - everything! We'll break down this cursed encounter including Triple H's early injury, Shawn's ugly moonsault, and Kane's hilarious unmasking. But we'll also give credit where credit is due and talk about the high points in this match including Triple H's amazing perseverance despite his painful condition. We'll also discuss all the build-up including the ridiculousness of 50-year-old men tossing out glow sticks, Triple H's problem with "big words", Kane and Taker's goofy boiler room promo, the real life controversy surrounding this show, and much more. Plus Alex unboxes his surprise birthday present from Travis live on the air!
