248: The Birth Of The Streak

We're going back to 1991...and we're going STREAKING! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take our time-traveling hearse back 35 years to celebrate the origin of The Undertaker's greatest accomplishment - The WrestleMania Streak! We're revisiting 3 matches that tell the tale of the birth of this epic achievement. Up first it's a rare house show encounter between The Undertaker and Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka that's not just a test run for their Mania 7 match-up - it's also Taker's first ever appearance at MSG! Then we take a look at Taker's tune up for the PPV on the Superstars and Stripes Forever show taking on Tugboat. These two titans tussled on many of Undertaker's first live event appearances and were even briefly slated to have a match at Mania before the plans changed, so it's interesting to see what might have been. Finally we close things out with a look back at the match that started it all for WrestleMania 7, a passing of the torch between two phenoms of pro wrestling. It's a unique look back at the origins of the most legendary run in all of sports entertainment history as we celebrate it's historic anniversary. All that plus our monthly Undertaker sightings looking at Mark Calaway's role as the booker of AAA as well as some anecdotes from his latest Six Feet Under podcasts.
