Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they face off against their "brother" podcast and revisit the infamous one and only 6-Man Hell In A Cell match from Armageddon 2000 featuring The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Triple H, Rikishi, Kurt Angle, and The Rock. We'll give you the time stamp to watch along with us on the WWE Network, but as always you'll still enjoy things even if you're only able to listen. It's a ridiculously fun conversation as we discuss middle school dances, the differences between growing up in the south vs the north, Undertaker's ripped jeans, Mr. McMahon's Hayride From Hell, backyard wrestling, Sweet Home Alabama knock-offs, blood spewing everywhere, Rikishi sticking out like a sore thumb, and who has the thicker accent amongst all of us.

As always we'll give you the timestamp so you can cue up the WWE Network and watch the match with us. But we also make it just as entertaining if you're only able to listen. During the match we'll cover Show and Taker's never-ending rivalry continuing somehow, the rise of The Legacy, the returns of Rob Van Dam and Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Dolph Ziggler and Santino Marella's hilariously short-lived entries, Triple H, Rey Mysterio, JTG, Mike Knox, Kane, John Morrison, The Miz, R-Truth, and more. And before we get to the match we'll cover an eventful few weeks including a brief but fun feud with Shelton Benjamin (and the confusing lyrics to his theme song), a Steel Cage showdown with The Big Show, more teases for WrestleMania 25, Taker getting snubbed at the 2008 Slammys, and we'll finally talk about the legendary one-off appearance of the mysterious HADE VANSEN!

It's time to bury The Undertaker and The Big Show's rivalry with a Casket Match! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they close out 2008 with a Survivor Series showdown between The Dead Man and The World's Largest Athlete in Taker's signature match. Show and Taker are 1 and 1 in their recent rivalry and this match should settle the score. But all of the sudden The Big Show has a paralyzing fear of caskets, and the Grim Reaper has one of the most unique finishes ever set up to capitalize on it. We'll analyze the match plus we'll cover all the craziness leading up to it including a Casket Match preview against Chavo Guerrero, the 800th episode of Raw, a subtle start to the WrestleMania 25 build, Undertaker facing off with Vladimir Koslov, a tantalizing preview of a rivalry with Jeff Hardy that we never got to fully see, Big Show turning into Homer Simpson, Tazz's ridiculous analogies, and so much more.

The Undertaker and The Big Show vie to be the Last Man Standing 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 second in a 2008 trilogy between Taker and Show in a match the WWE Universe voted for at Cyber Sunday. The rivalry between The Phenom and The Giant just isn't quite catching on, and we theorize (with the help of some more movie analogies, of course) just why exactly that is. There's still plenty of fun to be had here, though, as we discuss things like Knockout Matches, Great Khali's face turn, Vladimir Koslov's complete lack of charisma, cameos from Joey Ryan and Matt Jackson, prizomos fizor Kizarny, a fun Undertaker and Triple H match, the incredible effort put into the Cyber Sunday set, the complete lack of effort put into the Cyber Sunday concept, the return of That Deadly Submission, JR's flubby-dubs, and much more.

The Phenom is looking to begin a dominant reign over Smackdown thanks to "That Submission Maneuver". But Vickie and her Familia quickly use their power to dash those dreams and strip Taker of the gold. The heat is off the charts for this one, and we'll discuss just how hated La Familia was during this time. Along the way we'll also cover another showdown with The Great Khali, a Championship Chase with a perfectly booked ending, Teddy Long finally telling off Vickie, a month's worth of flubbed lines, Mick Foley coming for Travis's King Of Dad Jokes crown, the bizarre logic of the WWE's board of directors, Vickie Guerrero's first ever match, and so much more.
