We're ringing in the new year with the tolling of The Undertaker's bell in yet another Royal Rumble as we look back 25 years to a classic Attitude Era melee on an all new Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they revisit a Rumble match The Lord Of Darkness didn't technically participate in, but certainly played a major part of as he makes a sacrifice mid-match to strengthen his ever-growing faction. Really it's just an excuse for us to do another Royal Rumble Watch-Along - but it really is an iconic moment and a significant piece of The Undertaker's lore as he takes the former Mabel under his wing and transforms him into Viscera. Of course we'll give you the timestamp to watch along with us but as always it'll be just as fun if you only listen. Along the way we'll discuss some of the greatest fans we've ever seen and all of their head-bobbing and crotch-chopping action, an incredible array of signs in the audience, who wins the worst-dressed Superstar of the match award, sweaty wet shirts, the many active AEW performers in the match including a one-shoed Billy Gunn, the surprising star power of Mabel, Kane's awesome blink and you miss it performance, Chyna's big moment, the big shows WCW and ECW put on around this time, and how well the storytelling between Stone Cold and Mr. McMahon holds up to this day. Plus we look back at a year of Undertaker Sightings in 2023 including his award-winning NXT appearance and his presentation of the Big 12 Championship! Download, enjoy, Happy New Year, and Taker Easy!
