162 - WrestleMania XXVII

WrestleMania comes to Atlanta - and we were there live for it! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as we cover The Dead Man's show-stealing match with Triple H at WrestleMania 27. There ain't no grave that can hold The Dead Man's body down as he returns from being buried alive for an absolutely epic match that's also an essential piece of his four match series with Triple H and Shawn Michaels. We'll cover all of the incredible build including the "2 21 11" vignettes, the fantastic promo with no words between Taker and Triple H, the disappointing music edits on the WWE Network, HBK's central role in the build to the match, Metallica, Johnny Cash, and the many ways this match signaled the beginning of the "Last Outlaw" era for The Dead Man. 

 

Not only that, we get the chance to talk about the entire WrestleMania weekend that took place right in our backyard! We reminisce about the trip of a lifetime including our hilarious encounters with the superstars outside the hotel, going to Axxess and the Hall Of Fame, meeting The Miz and Ted Dibiase, Alex's stolen souvenirs, weird t-shirt stories, and finishing the weekend at Abdullah The Butcher's House Of Ribs & Chinese Food! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
