Shoots n’ Ladders: A 90’s Wrestling Podcast
Shoots n’ Ladders is a wrestling podcast that focuses on the over-the-top shenanigans that were happening in the WWF/WWE 30 years ago in the 1990s. We’re watching old content including Raw, Superstars, pay-per-views, as well as anything else we can scrounge up. Our mission is to uncover any evidence to prove that the Montreal Screwjob was (or wasn’t) a work while we laugh at the gimmicks and storylines that shaped our childhood. Be careful though, we may dip our toes into current events!

Hulkamania is dead. Yokozuna is champion. Bret Hart is on top. Jerry Lawler is a Burger King. Marty Jannetty battles Doink. This week begs the following questions: Was The Undertaker above the 1993 KOTR? Does he not need the bitchassness? Who and where is L.A. Gore? How much money would be enough money for you to step in the ring with Razor Ramon and get your ass handed to you? Will America be ok after the death of Hulkamania? All that and more on this episode of Shoots n' Ladders, now back to the rewatch.
