148 - Breaking Point

It's "Just Say No" vs. "Rest In Peace" on this week's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover The Undertaker's main event Submission Match against CM Punk for the World Heavyweight Title at the one and only Breaking Point show. Wait - a submission match on a PPV in Montreal? Surely nothing weird will happen in a match like that - right?! We'll break down this awesome crowd getting treated to the umpteenth redux of the "Screwjob" angle along with why the Breaking Point concept was an absolute flop. Along the way we'll also cover Teddy Long's return as Smackdown GM (holla!), Undertaker's appearance on the debut of WGN Superstars, another fun match with Shelton Benjamin, another dreadful dejavu match with Big Show, unbelievable flubbydubs from JR, an awesome surprise return at The SummerSlam, the fantastic rivalry between CM Punk and Jeff Hardy, Punk's epic trolling of the crowd, Alice In Wonderland allusions, bizarre segments with Teddy and Mr. McMahon, Jimmy Wang Yang getting involved in this rivalry (yes, really) and the strange existence of Lynyrd Skynyrd in the year 2009 (yes, really)! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
