The Steel Cage Podcast Network

Our necks are sore from the latest WWE Network Special, WWE Backlash. Maybe it’s because we were taken aback by the booking of this six match show, or maybe it’s from the amount of head nodding that ensued looking at that giant ninja up and down. The Greatest Sports Entertainment Match Ever was immortalized and we will tell you why it could never have lived up to the hype. We also discuss the good...

This week on the DATESCAST, it's episode 99 so you've heard all their stories. Tim talks about the time he broke his nose at a water park, pooping on slides, and other general nonsense that will make you never go to a public swimming area again. Meanwhile, Derek definitely has coronavirus. But they still take the time to pick, eat, and rate not one but two Sour Patch snacks on this week's mega epi...

It’s been two years, but Rick & Morty is back! Season 4 has already passed us by like Reggie in the night, but we were determined not to get off the Story Train until we spoke all about it (and pretend podcasts aren’t boring). We broke through the meta continuity walls on this particular episode, filled with face-huggers, Beth clones, Jesus Christ, but most importantly… snake jazz. So, restart fro...

This week, we let ourselves in without knocking to TakeOver: In Your House and discuss another fun NXT PPV. We chat about Drake Maverick for fighting for his job and whether or not we're working ourselves into a shoot about it. We also cheer for Keith Lee for representing the BLM movement, and we welcome our new NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai aka the queen of our hearts. But In Your House isn't th...

This week on the DATESCAST, the world isn't great right now, and neither are Tim and Derek. Infighting on the group chat is causing a rift between our snackologists and the only cure is rating snacks. But that's not what they're about...it's just what they do. They're about respect for women, which is hard to come by these days on social media. They talk about all of the bad and the very bad in th...

Welcome to AT3 on The Steel Cage, where our Down Under contingent fights off the Drop Bears to discuss their Top 3 of a variety of wrestling topics. This week, our bevy of bonza beauties decided to choose our Top 3 Factions of all time. And of course, we chose The New World Order, D-X and The IV Horsemen. But what would you choose if you couldn't choose those three? Well, we dove deep and decided...

This week, we're not hiding behind plexiglass but we are keeping our bodily fluids to ourselves as we talk all things AEW. From Double or Nothing to the past few episodes of Wednesday Night Dynamite, we discuss our enjoyment of the "other guys" wrestling show. However, if we're being transparent, this episode is really just an ode to the Stadium Stampede match. With so many spots, segments, and sc...

Shave and a haircut... two bits! Just like the toons, you won't be able to resist our latest episode, as we do a deep dive on a cinematic classic: Who Framed Roger Rabbit. In 1988, a crazy movie was released that blended the line between live-action and animation, and yet… all we remember are those burning, red eyes and that high-pitched, squeaky voice. Oh, and Roger Rabbit. And Jessica. Mostly Je...

Some of their pics were ob...

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim and Derek are stepping into the squared circle, but it's not to fight each other (even though Tim has it coming). They are facing off with the cookies from professional wrestler/snack doctor Erick Stevens and his company, Kookies and Kreme Sarasota. Regardless of the opponent, our snackologists are getting their asses handed to them by the half pound Easter Leftover...

Money In The Bank delivered another WWE cinematic feast for the eyes as we saw 12 superstars tear down Titan Towers...with the exception of Vince McMahon's office...in a bid for a shot at their respective championships.

We're cashing in a 1-Up for the 10th anniversary of an over-the-top nerd classic that should have collected way more coins: Scott Pilgrim vs. the World! We are Unfunny Nerd Tangent! 1-2-3-4!

Not to mention, we accidentally paid tribute to a Hall of Famer who never won the 'Big One'. We dipped our toes into the controversy po...

This week, our Ice Cream Social of wrestling pundits are talking about the good, the bad, and the really weird that is WWE. We're excited for Money in the Bank from Titan Towers aka Die Hard With Your Boots On, confused by if we're being worked into a shoot by the Drake Maverick storyline involving his release, and really creeped out by Vince McMahon telling Paul he loves him during Triple H Appre...

This week on the DATESCAST, Tim is driving Derek nuts with his foley work, and both snackologists are driving their children nuts with their inability to be good school teachers. But they're not about teaching children, that's just what they do. They're about respect for women and other phrases they stole from Mike and Tom. That includes the PER system, which they utilize to rate this week's snack...

With Tim and Jared busy on Mount Seleya, long time Star Wars aficionado, Flo spills the beans on her recent two-year binge of everything Star Trek. Caleb from the Autopod Decepticast (and our recent Metallica episode) returns to wax poetic abo...

After coming off the high that was WrestleMania, we are immediately reminded by the real world ramifications of COVID-19 and its impact on everything. Vince McMahon and the WWE had a controversial week to say the least. From bribing the state of Florida to allow them to have contracted employees perform an "essential" job to firing a small company's worth of individuals in one day to even being re...
