175 - WrestleMania 33

It's the match that inspired the podcast as we finally reach WrestleMania 33 on this week's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they reach their inception point 3 and a half years later with The Undertaker vs Roman Reigns in the main event of 2017's granddaddy of em all. It's the moment that fans around the world - and even The Undertaker himself - thought would be his curtain call as he laid his hat and gloves in the ring after putting over the Big Dog. But of course it didn't end up being the end, and we'll analyze the reasons why The Dead Man had trouble letting go. Before we get there we'll also discuss Roman Reigns calling out Taker "with all due respect", the awesome crowds on this road to WrestleMania, HBK and Braun Strowman getting involved in this rivalry, the simple but effective storytelling, the return of JR on commentary, and more. Plus Alex and Travis talk about watching this match together live and how they came up with the idea for this podcast in the immediate aftermath! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
