BONUS: Mario Mancini Talks Taker!

We're talking to an unsung hero of the WWF and the first person to EVER step into the ring with The Undertaker on a very special bonus episode of Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they welcome former WWF Superstar Mario Mancini to the podcast to discuss his incredible 4 decades in the wrestling business and his pivotal part in The Dead Man's legacy. Mario walks us through meeting Taker that night, their discussion before the match, and the bump he had to figure out how to take on the spot that no one has ever noticed before! Of course that's not all - Mario's got tales from matches and memories with countless Hall Of Famers including nearly getting choked by Jake The Snake's python, getting interviewed by Vince McMahon on national television at 18 years old, his longtime friendship with Paul Roma and the origin of the tag team name Power & Glory, how King Kong Bundy tried to repay a favor to him years later, his greatest match that never aired on TV, the terms "Jobber" vs. "Enhancement Talent", why he left the WWF in the 90s, coming back to the ring in the 2000s, his heat with Mark Henry, and the lost art of the squash match.
