172 - 30 Days Of The Dead Man

After 30 years, The Undertaker says farewell! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover the month-long celebration of the 30th Anniversary of The Dead Man's debut. Mark Calaway was everywhere over the past 30 days, from WWE Network specials to national magazines and newspapers to guest appearances on podcasts and talk shows. It all culminated in an epic celebration of his career at Survivor Series 2020, thirty years to the day after his original debut. Unfortunately, it all happened in the midst of a global pandemic, and it definitely affected our enjoyment of this special moment. We'll debate what we did and didn't like about The Undertaker's final bow including the parade of legends, the Metallica music video, the Tesla Coil entrance, the piped-in crowd noise, and the Paul Bearer hologram. Before we get there we'll cover as much of the #Undertaker30 content as we could possibly handle including all the crazy commemorative merch, a collaboration with Snoop Dogg, appearances in People Magazine and USA Today, interviews on Hot Ones and the Sam Roberts podcast, and the WWE Network specials like "WWE Untold", "The Mortician", "Brothers Of Destruction", and "The Broken Skull Sessions: One More Round". So pour yourself a glass of Undertaker wine, download, and Taker Easy!
