From Death Valley, to the bright lights of the WWE. One man was known for his intensity, physical ability and mastery of the darkness.
The Undertaker is a professional wrestling superstar who has transcended time, from his early days in WCW, NJPW to his legacy hall of fame career in the WWE he has faced them all.
Join us for the first of a special 2 part LAC, where we look at the one and only Undertaker (Mark Calaway).
Next week's show will be a direct continuation of this week's, so make sure to join us then as well.
Meet Jordan Clarke. At one time, he was a dominant force on the Alberta independent wrestling scene, known as both "Dirty Dick Raines" and "Dirty Duke Durrango".
Duke came up in the original Hart Dungeon. From a treadmill that resembled a torture device, to getting stretched and learning "strong style" from Bruce Hart himself, Duke is part of a class of wrestlers that were influential on many wrestlers who are still active on the independent scene today, promote their own shows, or have even gone on to become worldwide celebrities.
Duke joins Mike for a trip down memory lane, including being there when WWE's Natalya - or Nattie Neidhart, first came into the infamous Dungeon before becoming one of the most revered women in the ring. They also share stories about what it was like to REALLY train in the Dungeon, saving young wrestlers (and ring announcers) from themselves, and MUCH more.

This week, as promised, an announcement on the future of McGuire on Wrestling.
Also, it's an overload of guests this week as Joe Aguinaldo and Mike bring back a mini "Tuesday Morning Cooked" episode after an eventful Monday Night Raw, including John Cena officially becoming a "Grand Slam" champion in WWE.
Joe also looks back at the influence legendary commentator Bob Caudle had on his life as a wrestling fan.
In what could be "a pod is born" moment, you'll meet Jordan Clarke, who is best known to Stampede Wrestling and Canadian wrestling fans as "Dirty" Duke Durrango - a veteran who just happened to be there for a certain "Low Key Legend's" formative days in the wrestling business - but also has a deep well of wrestling history of his own.
And as a special bonus, a preview of a conversation Andy Evans from Legends and Champions had with TNA Star, "The Hollywood Hunk", Ryan Nemeth!

This week on Legends & Champions, we're heading to Boston for Survivor Series 1993 — a turning-point PPV where the New Generation era truly began to take shape. The Hulkamania shadows were fading, new stars were rising, and the WWF was trying to prove it could evolve without its biggest icon.
We dig into everything from the All-Americans vs. The Foreign Fanatics — and the backstage drama that led to Luger replacing Hogan as the patriotic torchbearer — to the legendary Hart Family vs. Shawn Michaels & His Knights showdown, featuring Brett’s master-class storytelling and the seeds of an epic family feud. Plus: Undertaker in the stars-and-stripes, Doink-filled chaos, and the kind of early-90s WWF weirdness that only Survivor Series could deliver.
Was the event a bold new chapter or an awkward transition? We break it all down — the matches, the promos, the politics, and how this PPV set the stage for the mid-90s revolution to come.
Dust off the tassels, fire up that Coliseum Video nostalgia, and join us for a deep dive into Survivor Series ‘93.
Legends & Champions — Where wrestling’s legacy lives and legends never fade.
Thanks to your feedback from last week's episode, we jump a little deeper into the generative AI discussion when it comes to the impact it might - or might not have on pro wrestling's future.

Plus, we hear about situations involving released WWE star Ridge Holland, John Cena's final match ticket prices, and which former WWE champion could be bouncing back from recovery?

This week on Legends & Champions, we're stepping back into the golden age of WWF to dissect Survivor Series 1990 — a night of wild gimmicks, legendary debuts, and one… unforgettable giant bird.
From the birth of The Undertaker and a stunned Ted DiBiase to the infamous Gobbledy Gooker reveal that left the crowd scratching their heads, we break down every moment that made this event a bizarre yet iconic chapter in wrestling history. We look at how the traditional elimination format evolved, why the Grand Finale Match of Survival was a one-time experiment, and what this pay-per-view tells us about Vince McMahon’s creative mindset at the dawn of the 90s.
Expect nostalgia and the kind of wrestling analysis only true students of the squared circle can deliver.
Grab your foam finger, lace up your boots — it’s time to revisit Survivor Series '90.
Legends & Champions — Where wrestling's past becomes legend and its icons become immortal.

In this haunting Halloween special, Legends and Champions dives deep into the eerie brilliance of Windham Rotunda, the man who blurred the line between reality and nightmare inside the squared circle. From the charismatic cult leader Bray Wyatt to the terrifying alter-ego of The Fiend, Rotunda reinvented fear in professional wrestling, turning storytelling into a psychological art form.
Join us as we unravel the dark creativity, family legacy, and tragic genius behind one of wrestling’s most innovative minds.
