Long before The Undertaker battled Stone Cold, The Punisher faced off with Steve Williams! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they welcome back Mike and JV from The Bottom Line Wrestling Cast for a Watchalong of USWA TV from 11/4/89 featuring the first ever match between the men who would go on to become The Undertaker and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Who could have ever guessed these two random grapplers from a territory in Texas would one day go on to be on the Mount Rushmore of the WWE? It's a pretty brief encounter, so we decided to watch the entire episode of 80s wrestling ridiculousness including sex symbol Jeff Jarrett, the ludicrous Latin Lover, pop-ins from Percy Pringle and P.Y. Chu Hi, an infamous spanking angle that wouldn't fly in 2025, and a barnburner of a main event between Jerry Lawler and Terry Gordy! Plus we discuss The Undertaker's recent appearance on NXT with the TNA Champion Trick Williams and we share our memories of The Immortal Hulk Hogan in honor of his recent passing.

We're celebrating the final year of John Cena's career by revisiting his first PPV encounter with The Undertaker from 22 years ago this month with this classic episode of Talking Taker, BACK FROM THE DEAD at the top of your podcast feed! Originally released in June of 2019 as episode 93, It's Vengeance 2003 featuring Cena trying to prove himself against Big Evil in the biggest match of his career up to that point. Cena showed no fear with his non-P.C. battle raps calling out Taker in the build to this one and there's a lot of fun stuff to revisit, including a strangly heavy presence of the F.B.I.! This is also a timely episode for us to revisit as we give our instant reactions to the recently retired Goldberg's match with The Undertaker from Super Showdown 2019. Check it out and then be sure to join us on August 1st for a brand new episode as we bring on our fellow Pod Street Krew members for the Ultimate SummerSlam Fantasy Draft - you don't want to miss this one!

Before he was the Dead Man, he was the Mean Man! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as we take the time-traveling hearse all the way back to early 1990 for part one of a deep dive on a prequel chapter to The Undertaker's career - his singles run in WCW as Mean Mark. Taker has often downplayed this run in interviews and talked about how there were never any plans for him down south - but was that really the case? After The New Skyscrapers collapsed, Mean Mark had a moment to shine as a singles star and we're diving deep in into his first couple of months of squash matches. It all culminated in Mark Calaway's first ever PPV singles match against Johnny Ace! Along the way to that match we cover all the absurdities of early 90s WCW including some horribly racist and drunken commentary, the Return Of Robocop, the power of the Heart Punch, Teddy Long never being able to find the camera, forgotten sponsors like Western Union and Castrol GTX, the Slam-O-Meter, the definition of "Gunkel-ing", and some big matches against the likes of Road Warrior Animal and Tommy Wildfire Rich! All that plus another loaded month of Undertaker Sightings including his big win on "L.F.G.", his appearance on "Stephanie's Places", NXT cameos, and more. Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy! Check out all of the Mean Mark matches discussed here on our YouTube Playlist! Pick up our new P.S.K. Motorcycle Patch Logo merch over TeePublic.com and celebrate 25 years of the Biker Taker with us!

Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they celebrate the 25 Year Anniversary of the "Biker Taker" character's debut by looking back at the home video release of "This Is My Yard". This was was a historic video back in 2001 for many reasons, not the least of which is it marks the first time we really ever got a glimpse behind the curtain of the man behind The Undertaker character. We cover this fan favorite release in depth including what the actual title of this documentary is, the mysterious hat Taker wears on the cover, some iconic quotes from Chris Jericho, the awkward relationship talk with Sara, the origins of the American Badass character, and the hilarity in hindsight of The Undertaker reflecting on his career possibly coming to a close...back in 2001!
