229: Remembering Sid (WrestleMania 13 Watch-Along)

We're paying tribute to one of the most unique legends in wrestling history - The Master and Ruler of the World, Sid - on a very special edition of Talking Taker. Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they take a break from their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man to try to do justice by one of our all-time favorites Sycho Sid who sadly passed away earlier this week. Sid's career and his impact on wrestling cannot be overstated as he had a one-of-a-kind connection with fans and an inexplicable charisma that jumped off the screen. His career was also intertwined with The Undertaker's in perhaps even more ways than you remember, including the historic WrestleMania 13 main event. We'll revisit that momentous night for both men's careers watch-along style and give you the timestamp to cue it up alongside us. We'll also discuss our favorite Sid memories, his legendary squash matches, the singular way he stayed true to himself, and why his "botches" and promo flubs made him even more endearing to fans. Plus we've got a supersized edition of this month's Undertaker Sightings as Alex spills all the dirt from the 1 deadMAN Show from SummerSlam weekend and also shows off a very meaningful purchase for his collection that you won't believe.
