196 - Final Four 1997 Watch-along With Watchalong Tommy!

We're celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of our favorite underrated Undertaker matches as we revisit the Final Four on this month's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey digging up The Dead Man as they cover the topic you the listeners voted for them to discuss this month and look back at a Top 20 Taker match of all time watch-along style. And who better to join us than friend of the show Watchalong Tommy to give his unique analysis on this legendary match! The Undertaker faces off against Vader, Stone Cold, and Bret Hart in the first major 4-Way match in WWE history and it's brutal and bloody brawl that influenced so many classic Attitude Era matches that came after it. The three of us discuss the impact of this match on the business and on all 4 men's careers as well as just how much freaking fun this match is! Watchalong Tommy (the Forrest Gump of wrestling fans) wasn't there for this show, but the does share some great stories of some other events he was at around this time, plus his memories of attending another lost Royal Rumble match from 1994. We also talk about Tommy's case of mistaken identity with a Travis sound-alike in Las Vegas, The Undertaker's recent appearances including his role in the new WWE 2K game, and our fantasy WrestleMania opponents for The Dead Man just in case he were to step in the ring this year. Plus Alex unboxes his birthday gift from Travis on this jam-packed episode!
