Shoots n’ Ladders: A 90’s Wrestling Podcast

This week on Shoots n' Ladders (A 90's wrestling podcast) Pat and Jen argue about how boring or exciting the featured content was and discuss matches such as Owen Hart vs. Bam Bam Bigelow ft. an unfortunate injury, Razor Ramon vs. Virgil, and Money Inc. vs. The Beverly Brother for the tag titles. We also get some fun interviews and promos with Bret Hart, Luna Vachon and more. Come for the Slim Jims and stay for the ICOPRO.

Friar Ferguson and Mr. Hughes enter the chat this week on the April 12, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw and the April 10, 1993 episode of WWF Superstars. There's a fun match between Scott Steiner and IRS, as well as the first unofficial impromptu bra and panties match between Sensational Sherri and Luna Vachon. We go off on a real tangent about how many gimmicks and occupations exist in the roster in WWF/E 1993 and who would win the battle of Macho-ness between Macho Man Randy Savage and the oozer of machismo Razor Ramon.

"Live" from Caesar's Palace... this week is a bunch of pre and post Wrestlemania silliness. We banter about future feuds that we're excited about, misophonia, and the April 3, 1993 episode of Superstars and the April 5, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw featuring Macho Man, Jerry Lawler, Bob Backlund, the Steiner Brothers, Tatanka, Bam Bam Bigelow, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Lex Luger and more.

What is there to say about Wrestlemania 9... not too much that hasn't been said before but we're going there anyway. Come along and prepare to be disappointed by the Undertaker Giant Gonzales match, Hulk Hogan's unexpected WWF title win, Bret Hart's loss to Yokozuna, and Tatanka's strange victory against Shawn Michaels. At  least we get some Luna Vachon.

We're getting hyped up for the impending Wrestlemania 9 with the March 27 1993 episode of WWF Superstars and a special March 28 1993 March to Wrestlemania. Jack Tunney even shows his face at the contract signing between Yokozuna and Bret Hart that ends disastrously. We also see in action Macho Man, Money Inc, Mr. Perfect, Tatanka and more as we gear up and get thankful for WM9 to finally happen.

It's the week before the week before Wrestlemania 9, and we hope you've called your local cable providers because you do NOT want to miss the opportunity to witness Hulk Hogan's return with the Mega Maniacs, or Bret Hart defend his championship against Yokozuna. We watch the March 20, 1993 episode of Superstars and the March 22, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw and see some ridiculous promos - including a Lex Luger and Mr. Perfect mirror-off... a couple of ridiculous matches (including the return of The Bushwackers)... and a whole lot of jobber matches. You're not gonna want to miss this.

The week we continue to travel down the long road to Wrestlemania 9 and watch a bunch of matches and promos featuring Tatanka, Yokozuna, Crush, Papa Shango, Bob Backlund, The Nasty Boys, The Headshrinkers, Lex Luger, Hulk Hogan and more.

Beefcase, breifcake, briefcase, suitcase... what’s the difference really? This week our word is WHY as we drag our feet down the long road to Wrestlemania 9 and cover the March 6, 1993 episode of Superstars and the March 8, 1993 episode of Raw. We discuss the shenanigans from Superstars such as Lex Luger, Mr. Perfect, Rick Martel, The Steiner Brothers, The Mega Maniacs, Bret Hart and Tatanka. We also question the claim that the beefcase was filled with 100 lbs of steel, or perhaps multiple bricks.

This week we're talking about the February 27, 1993 episode of WWF Superstars and the March 1, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw featuring Horrible Elvis. We see Bret Hart defend his belt against Fatu, Doink destroy Koko B Ware and Big Boss Man, and appearances from your friends Lex Luger, Yokozuna and The Steiner Brothers. We're traveling right down that road to Wrestlemania, one jobber match at a time.

This week we talk about the February 20, 1993 episode of Superstars of Wrestling and the February 22, 1993 episode of Monday Night Raw - where we get treated to the return of a deflated Hulk Hogan as he supports his bionic friend Brutus the Barber Beefcake and brings Jimmy Hart into the newly formed Mega Maniacs. Other than that it's squash match central, but we have fun. This is fun.
