247: A Taker Looks At Forty
Episode 292
Saturday, 28 February, 2026

We're taking our time-traveling hearse Over The Hill on a brand new Talking Taker! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White on their encyclopedic exploration digging up The Dead Man as they celebrate their 40th birthdays by looking back at what The Undertaker was doing on his 40th birthday! Turns out there just happened to be an episode of Smackdown that took place on that exact day - March 24, 2005 - so we're watching along to this episode as we reflect on our arrival into the Middle-Aged Ministry Of Darkness. First we'll spend some time reflecting on reaching this life milestone and how our love of pro wrestling has impacted our lives over these four decades. But don't worry - it's not all sappy because we've got an absolutely BONKERS episode of Smackdown so you'll have a blast listening to us discussing Big Show vs. A Jeep, Luther Reigns's ill-fitting suit, Scotty Too Hotty against WWE Champ JBL (in a much nicer suit), Undertaker's first flirtation with Michelle McCool, Carlito dressed up as Elvis for no discernible reason, a well-deserved tombstone for Rene Dupree, and so much more. Plus we've got our monthly Undertaker Sightings discussing Taker ushering AJ Styles into the WWE Hall Of Fame and a special birthday shoutout from one of our favorite WWE Performers!
