BACK FROM THE DEAD: SummerSlam 1999

Talking Taker

We're looking back at one of the most underrated matches in The Undertaker's history on this month's BACK FROM THE DEAD! Join our cohosts and wrestling buddies Alex Doriot and Travis White as they take the time-traveling hearse back to SummerSlam 1999 and a shockingly fun tag team match between The Unholy Alliance of The Undertaker and Big Show and the oddball pairing of X-Pac and Kane. Travis was a big fan of this match and even ranked it in his top 10 for this era - we'll see how it holds up when we watch it along on our next brand new episode August 1 as we celebrate its 25 year anniversary. Consider this classic episode as a preview as we discuss the story of this match including Taker and Big Show's epic "ride through the desert promo", the true meaning of "X-Pac Heat" in the summer of 99, Hardcore Holly's involvement in this build, and how this match ended up as the final PPV match for The Dead Man before he became the American Badass. Enjoy this look back and be sure to join us for our next new episode August 1st!
