252: Boiler Room Brawl 30 Year Anniversary Watchalong

from Talking Taker · host Alex Doriot

We're headed back to the bowels of the arena, back to SummerSlam 1996, back to THE BOILER ROOM BRAWL for the 30th Anniversary of this legendary match! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they take a look back at a classic, innovative encounter between The Undertaker and Mankind that has quite the long and surprising legacy. It was one of the first cinematic matches in WWE history as well as one of the first matches to take place primarily outside of a wrestling ring, and it continues to have an influence on pro wrestling today. We'll talk all about it plus the history of every other Boiler Room Brawl and some of the many matches that it had an impact on. Plus we've got our monthly Undertaker Sightings and we celebrate the 9 Year Anniversary of our podcast with a no holds barred Q&A discussing rebooking The Streak, our dream WWE jobs, Christopher Nolan remakes, best breakfast cereals, and so much more.
