We've got some true fireworks in store as we light up a new year on this month's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we celebrate the 25 year anniversary of the greatest Casket Match of all time - The Undertaker vs Shawn Michaels from Royal Rumble 1998. It's the epic finale of the late 90s era of their rivalry and a perfect distillation of the early Attitude Era where multiple storylines converge including setting the seeds for Taker's feud with his brother Kane. These 2 have never had a bad match (well, until 2018) so we encourage you to watch along with us on Peacock. But as always it's just as entertaining if you can't. Along the way we'll discuss some very late 90s specific memories of watching this PPV, Shawn's packet of powder hidden in his pants, the parallels with the 1994 Rumble Casket Match, some highly unsafe special effects, hilarious fans in the crowd, and so much more. Plus before we get to the match we'll reflect on The Undertaker's epic 2022 including his many tv specials and of course his Hall Of Fame induction. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
