About this listen

Step back into the chaos, nostalgia, and pure unpredictability of wrestling fandom with Episode 3 of The Stiff Shot Podcast.

This week, things go off the rails right from the jump —technical issues, missed cues, and classic behind-the-scenes moments set the tone for one of the funniest episodes yet. In between the madness, we dive into the road to WrestleMania, breaking down the anticipation, ticket-buying headaches, and what it’s like gearing up for the biggest event in wrestling!

We also crack open a blast from the past with the unpacking of 1991 WCW Trading Cards (Impel) and take it to the modern age with an unboxing of the new 2025 Topps WWE Universe Blaster Box reliving the excitement of ripping packs and chasing legendary pulls— highlighted by an unreal Stone Cold Steve Austin moment on 3:16 Day.

From there, it’s all over the place in the best way possible:

* The reality of insanely long merch lines at wrestling events

* Hilarious behind the scenes story about The Bushwhackers LICKING a stuntwoman on the set of Family Matters?!?

* Who was the TALLEST wrestler ever and how is he connected to Andre the Giant, NBA star Gheorghe Mureșan, and actor Billy Crystal - Big Poppa Bump gives you the 6 degrees of separation!

* Wild tangents, inside jokes, and unforgettable visuals — including a kiwi wearing a Brooklyn Nets hat.

* And the kind of unfiltered banter that makes you feel like you’re in the room with us.

If you grew up on 80s and 90s wrestling, VHS tapes, trading cards, and New Generation / Attitude Era energy, this episode is packed with everything that made you a fan in the first place.

Hit play, laugh along, and relive the moments.
