137 - Royal Rumble 1993 Watch-Along Talking Taker

The Undertaker and the Giant Gonzalez face off in a battle you wish you could forget on this week's special Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they fill in one of the gaps on their journey through every Undertaker PPV match with yet another Royal Rumble Watch-Along, this time covering the 1993 battle royal extravaganza. As always, we'll give you the timestamp so you can watch the show in sync with our running alternate commentary - the perfect antidote to your coronavirus quarantine boredom. But we'll make just as entertaining if you can't actually watch the show with us. The Undertaker is continuing to establish himself in the early years of his career. And the World Wrestling Federation is on the precipice of changing forever as a little show called Monday Night Raw debuts just a few weeks before the Rumble. We'll discuss our memories of that and Taker's important role in the main event of that show before we get into our commentary. As the match goes along we'll cover the likes of Bob Backlund (and his epic reaction shots), Ric Flair, The Nasty Boys (and their manic energy), friend of the show Papa Shango, Yokozuna, Jerry The King Lawler, Macho Man Randy Savage, Damien Demento, Tenryu, the "youngster" Carlos Colon, Ted Dibiase, Virgil, I.R.S., Tatanka, the Natural Disasters, El Matador, and so many more! Download, enjoy, and Taker Easy!
