Pop culture expert extraordinaire William Bruce West squares up with Tom this episode to talk about one of the biggest names in the wrasslin' business -- THE UNDERTAKER! Join as we take a look at The Phenom's 30-year career with all its highs, lows and sometimes just outright bizarre moments. Listen along as we grapple with our love of the character...and our oft-complex feelings about the man beneath the Stetson hat, Mark Calaway. Along the way, we also ponder why Brother Love was so red, whether blogs are dead and talk about how Will's journey to the USSR inspired him to become the media mogul that he is today.
