187 - The Final Farewell

It's time for Talking Taker to Rest In Peace! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White for one final time on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover The Dead Man's Final Farewell at Survivor Series 2020 on the 30th Anniversary of his debut. It's an emotional moment as we reach the end of the encyclopedic exploration we started three and a half years ago. Taker's final match might have been at WrestleMania 36, but we take a look at the ways he stayed involved in WWE throughout 2020 including more mind games with AJ Styles, inspiring a match between Jeff Hardy and King Corbin, and the epic tribute at Survivor Series with the parade of legends, Tesla coils, an emotional Vince McMahon, and a Paul Bearer hologram! We also answer some final fan questions, get in one final Batman reference, share some favorite podcast memories, and give thanks to our friends and followers who supported us along the way.    Of course, the main event of this episode is the reveal of the Top 20 Undertaker PPV Matches Of All Tiz-iiiime! First, Travis and Alex go back and forth giving their personal Top 20s with some sure-to-be controversial and surprising selections and rankings. Then we unveil the matches you voted into the Top 20 with a battle for the number 1 spot separated by a single vote! And then, for one last time, we say to our Creatures Of The Night, "Taker Easy!"    Stay connected with our Creature Community by following us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!   Pick up a Talking Taker shirt & more merch TeePublic to help support the show!   Subscribe to Travis's YouTube channel to stay connected and hear his latest music!  Pick up a copy of Alex's dad John Doriot's horror story collections Crossroads and Intersections!
