Show notes
Wrestlemania is this SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY, and Editor Eric has been dying to talk about the mythos of his favorite wrestler of all time, The Undertaker. Even if wrestling isn’t your thing, we think you’re going to enjoy the journey of how the Deadman went from wrestling mortician to a leader of his own cult of the undead. It’s a modern hero’s journey. Just, with more piledrivers.This week, Julia and Amanda recommend you check out Bored Ghost. They both guest starred in the two-part Rusalka game.Videos referenced in this episode:Mike Quackenbush’s The Art of Pro-Wrestling Undertaker’s first appearance as Survivor SeriesUndertaker’s signature “Rise Up”Macho Man Randy Savage’s Cream of the Crop promoKane Debuts at Hell in a CellUndertaker Uses Lightning Powers to Destroy the RingPaul Bearer “Killed” By Cement (and the rehearsal)Mankind vs Undertaker Buried Alive MatchMankind vs. Undertaker Hell in a Cell MatchThe Introduction of The BroodUndertaker Inferno MatchThe Undertaker Black WeddingThe “Greater Power” RevealedThe Undertaker as the American BadassShawn Michaels’ Super Christian EntranceStreak vs Career MatchStreak vs Career Promo Packaged (with fantastic country song)Sponsors- Stitch Fix is an online personal styling service that finds and delivers clothes, shoes, and accessories to fit your body, budget, and lifestyle.
