Before The Rock, John Cena, or Batista did it, The Undertaker went Hollywood! Join wrestling superfans Alex Doriot and Travis White alongside fellow P.S.K. member Stephen Zieman as they hop in the time-traveling hearse back to 1999 and the summer The Undertaker was making guest appearances on all sorts of tv shows! It's an often overlooked era of Taker's career and even The Dead Man's most dedicated fans may have never even heard of some of these offbeat appearances. We'll break down his guest roles on MTV cartoons like "Celebrity Deathmatch" and "Downtown," his brief stint as a host on the SciFi Channel, and in our main event, his biggest acting role yet as The Soul Chaser on an episode of "Poltergeist: The Legacy"! Taker actually has a major role on this episode as the "monster of the week" character and we get to see what he could have done had he chased down fame and fortune as an action star. It's also hilarious time-capsule of low-budget 90s tv and we have a great time breaking down even if you've never seen or heard of this one. All that plus our monthly Undertaker Sightings including his role in the WrestleMania 43 press conference and his big surprise for Stephanie McMahon at WrestlePalooza.

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at the stories shaping wrestling across WWE, AEW, TNA, NJPW, and beyond. Episode 143 follows a weekend where WWE launched its ESPN era with WrestlePalooza in Indianapolis while AEW countered with All Out in Toronto. Both events delivered major matches, big surprises, and plenty of conversation about where the industry is headed. WrestlePalooza leaned on spectacle and presentation, framed as ESPN's debut showcase. Triple H welcomed fans to the “final form of sports entertainment,” Pat McAfee returned home to the announce desk, and Brock Lesnar dominated John Cena in what felt like another farewell chapter. Stephanie Vaquer captured the vacant Women's World Title from IYO SKY, AJ Lee returned to force Becky Lynch to tap in a mixed tag with CM Punk, and Cody Rhodes retained over Drew McIntyre in a physical main event. The Undertaker also appeared to announce Stephanie McMahon as the first Hall of Fame inductee for 2026. Behind the matches, WWE emphasized site-fee partnerships and ESPN executives promised editorial independence — “a separation of church and state” — while creative stays in WWE's hands. AEW's All Out was more chaotic and match-heavy. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage reunited against FTR in a feud intensified by Beth Copeland's involvement, Eddie Kingston returned and aligned with HOOK, and Mark Briscoe scored a career-defining win over MJF in a violent Tables & Tacks match. Kris Statlander shocked Toni Storm to win the Women's Title, Brodido retained the tag belts in a ladder match capped by the Jurassic Express reunion, and Jon Moxley beat Darby Allin in a Coffin Match with help from PAC. Kazuchika Okada outlasted Konosuke Takeshita and Máscara Dorada in the show-stealer, while Hangman Page retained the AEW World Title against Kyle Fletcher in a bout that elevated the 26-year-old as a future star. Taken together, WrestlePalooza was polished and corporate-friendly, AEW was riskier and more unpredictable. WWE projected mainstream legitimacy, AEW doubled down on edge and workrate. Neither show reinvented the wheel, but both reinforced their identities. Beyond the weekend, WrestleMania 43 is confirmed for Saudi Arabia in 2027, WWE will stage its first PLE in Italy in 2026, Joe Hendry is expected to move full-time to WWE, and Raja Jackson's arrest after attacking Syko Stu at a KnokX show has drawn widespread attention. Will Ospreay successfully underwent neck surgery, beginning a long recovery. The fall schedule remains packed with TNA Victory Road, NXT No Mercy, WWE Crown Jewel, TNA Bound for Glory, and AEW WrestleDream on deck. For now, the story is clear: WWE and AEW both planted flags this weekend — one through ESPN's polish, the other through chaos in Toronto. Support the Tavern at Patreon.com/TheTurnbuckleTavern. Until next Monday, when we wine and dine with you kings and queens, stay out of the alley and away from the pork and beans: God luck and good speed.

On this week’s Eyes Up Here, Francine and Chad break down WWE’s debut on ESPN with WrestlePalooza, including all the fallout and what it means for the future of wrestling on the network. We also react to Stephanie McMahon’s shocking Hall of Fame announcement, Jey Uso busting himself open, Brock Lesnar’s brutal destruction of John Cena, and so much more from a wild week in wrestling!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

First, they recap the action from both WWE Palooza and AEW All Out. Despite the "you sold out" chants and online frustration, the numbers don't lie: Gainbridge Fieldhouse packed in 15,176 fans. The guys discuss the disconnect between fan sentiment and ticket sales.Next, the conversation turns to the "Saudi Mania" controversy. Lee reminds everyone that the road to WrestleMania goes through the Royal Rumble—an event already established in Saudi Arabia—and points out that TKO investors have seen this coming for months.Then, in a classic moment, Lee takes a pause and we all go back in time. For those of us old enough to remember, he brings up The Year Without a Santa Claus, where the iconic Heat Miser and Winter Miser stole the show. Finally, with talk of Stephanie McMahon's 2026 Hall of Fame induction, the hosts have no choice but to recognize the sacrifices and calculated risks of Vince McMahon, without whom modern wrestling would not exist.Saudi Mania, Wrestlepalooza and AEW All OutOn this episode of WrestlingTracks, Lee Houston and David Burton tackle the controversial reports of WrestleMania potentially heading to Saudi Arabia. While many fans have voiced complaints, the guys break down the business reality of WWE's partnership deal. They argue that if events like the Royal Rumble are already part of the agreement, WrestleMania is the next logical—and perhaps inevitable—step.Plus, with a massive weekend of wrestling on the horizon, the guys are gearing up to preview both WWE's Wrestlepalooza and AEW's All Out.
