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.

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.

238: Mean Mark - Flyin' High!
Put on your Nintendo Power Gloves and travel back with us 1990 for another deep dive into Mean Mark on this month's Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they take the time-traveling hearse back again to WCW to discuss his rise up the ranks in the formative days of his pro wrestling career. When we last left the man who would become The Undertaker he was scoring a win in his first ever PPV match against Johnny Ace. Now he's continuing to fly high with his Heatseeking Missile elbow drop and the devastating heart punch as he runs through another incredible crew of jobbers like Max Miles and "Ding Dong Bundy". Plus he's got a new manager watching out for him as Teddy Long sells his contract to Paul E. Dangerously which leads to an even meaner streak in his matches. It all leads up to a big showdown with Flyin' Brian at Clash Of The Champions: Coastal Crush that just might be Mark Calaway's best wrestling match to date. We'll cover all the ridiculousness of 90's wrestling including Jim Cornette's savage commentary digs at Paul E., the legendary movie character that Mean Mark definitely influenced, Tommy Rich's incomprehensible word salad, and our apologies to the family of Ray Gunkel. All that plus another round of Undertaker Sightings including the return of 6 Feet Under, Taker's recent health scare, a random sighting in the New York Times Games section, and Travis and Alex's recaps of their recent trips to Smackdown and an indie show meeting a couple of Hall Of Famers!

237: The Rise Of Mean Mark In WCW
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.

Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White as they take a break from their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man to try to do justice by one of our all-time favorites Sycho Sid who sadly passed away earlier this week.
