We're going back 25 years to cover a couple of glaring omissions from our back catalog on an all new Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on our encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take a look back at a pair of classic Attitude Era matches that didn't quite warrant their own episode during our original run but definitely deserve to be revisited. Up first is The Undertaker vs Kane from the famous VHS release of Mayhem In Manchester. Though not technically a PPV (and never released on the WWE Network or Peacock) it's a match that was widely seen and fondly remembered - perhaps mostly for Taker's street clothes he wrestles in! We'll discuss what went wrong with his gear plus run down this fun U.K. card. Then we'll do a Watch-Along for the main event of Over The Edge 1998 featuring Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Dude Love with The Undertaker as The Enforcer on the outside. Taker obviously doesn't wrestle in this one, but it is the only match in history where The he played a referee-type role and it's such a classic we thought it'd be fun to cover for its 25th anniversary this month. This is maybe the best pure "Sports Entertainment" match you will ever see with these three plus Vince McMahon, Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson, Jim Ross, and The King all playing their roles to a tee. We'll reminisce about watching this one when we were 12 years old, how it continues to get better with age, the wild bumps both guys were taking, the rabid crowd, The Undertaker's brutal chokeslams to the stooges, and so much more. Plus we've got our monthly Undertaker Sightings highlighting another A&E Rivals episode, podcast comments, Hall Of Fame thoughts, and Alex's interaction with an iconic Hall Of Famer! Believe that playa, and Taker Easy!
