157 - WrestleMania XXVI

It's Career vs. Streak! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their journey through every PPV match of The Undertaker's career as they discuss the legendary rematch between Shawn Michaels and The Phenom in the main event of WrestleMania 26! It's one of our most anticipated episodes as we break down in full detail The Dead Man's unprecedented quest for 18-0 and the heartbreaking final moments of The Heartbreak Kid's in-ring career (well, until 2018 - but that's another episode). Can this one possibly live up to the unreal expectations set by their all-time classic at WrestleMania last year? We'll tell you once and for all which match we think is better. Along the way we'll cover all the build-up on the road to WrestleMania including some epic promo battles, incredible video packages, the final (at least for a while) DX match, an unprovoked beatdown of Cryme Tyme and The Hart Dynasty, Taker's one and only singles match with future WWE Champ Drew McIntyre, Shawn's horrendous fashion choices, cameos from Stone Cold and Pete Rose, and so much more. Plus we reminisce about our watch party for the PPV back in 2010 featuring baked Oreos, buckets of spaghetti, Settlers Of Catan, and more! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
