167 - WrestleMania 31

The Man Comes Around! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover The Dead Man's comeback at WrestleMania 31 fending off the New Face Of Fear Bray Wyatt. It's a pivotal moment in The Undertaker's career as he charts a post-Streak path for himself against the fiendish young Wyatt's attempt to steal his throne. But despite one truly memorable WrestleMania moment in the match, we discuss why the whole storyline was a bit of a letdown and brainstorm what could have made it better (wait til you hear about The Son-dertaker!). Along the way we'll cover Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman's dominance (and obnoxiousness) after ending The Streak, our initial reactions to the Bray Wyatt character, all sorts of creepy and confusing Bray promos, the match that might have been with Sting, an exploding rocking chair, Johnny Cash's intact song on the WWE Network, Bray carrying this feud on his back for two months, the scarecrow entrance, the spiderwalk vs the sit-up, and The UnderFrasier haircut! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
