141 - No Mercy 2008

The Dead Man gets knocked out on the premiere episode of The Big Show Show Show! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match as they cover the first in a 2008 trilogy between The Demon Of Death Valley and The World's Largest Athlete at No Way Out 2008. The Big Show becomes an unlikely ally of Vickie Guerrero as The Undertaker goes on a quest for the Smackdown General Manager's soul. There's plenty of fun to be had here, but we discuss why Taker's rivalry with Show doesn't jump off the screen quite as much as his with Edge. Along the way we'll cover one of The Undertaker's shortest and greatest promos of all time, Vickie's continued natural greatness at being a heel, some final chokeslams for La Familia, Taker not mincing any words when it comes to his intentions, Big Show's goofy new catchphrase, an intense Unforgiven showdown, Super Crazy, Ryan Braddock, the Big Show's magical remote control, Eve Torres' questionable interviewing questions, the Chavo-Taker, a new Smackdown network and theme song, JR getting his X-Men mixed up, and so much more. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
