Yet another comic book reboot has landed upon us, but is this one any good? Opinions are mixed, but we decided to dive cowl-first into The Batman. A new psychopathic version of The Riddler... an obsessive, detective Batman... non-Catwoman Selina Kyle and more flying rats that you can poke a Batarang at, this movie was so full of comic book lore, we spent almost the full runtime discussing it. So b...

Before we return to Gotham, it’s time to grab your helmet and hug your eagle as we take a look at the new DC / HBO series: Peacemaker. What do you do if you’re a former pro-wrestler looking to nab a breakout role in a hit comic book franchise? Apparently, you go to James Gunn. We discussed this aspect of John Cena’s new superhero career as well as falling into many of our usual tangents, including...

On this week’s show, we focus a good chunk of time on breaking down this weekend’s stellar AEW Revolution card. Between that show and the big news about Ring of Honor being acquired by Tony Khan, there’s a LOT to speculate about. What will the championship scene look like in AEW? Who will the key power players be coming out of Revolution? What will become of ROH – do they operate as their own kind...

Come with us as we return to that galaxy far, far away and open up The Book of Boba Fett. Boba Fett has always held a special place in many Star Wars fans’ hearts, and rumors of his own live-action story has been around longer than the sandpeople have roamed the desert. So with Season One now concluded, we took a closer look at this legendary bounty hunter and his recent adventures. Fennec! Rancor...

One man’s Dream is another man’s Nightmare. Is Cody Rhodes leaving AEW? Is he heading to WWE? These questions have led to nothing but more questions, and have taken over pro wrestling fandom in the last week. One thing is for sure – all eyes are on the Rhodes family. Good for them. We’re back this week to talk about that, Keith Lee’s debut, the awesomeness that is DEFY Wrestling, and so much more!...

Season 4 of Cobra Kai has come and gone, so while we wait for certain bounty hunters and peacemakers to complete their seasons, we took a look at the most recent entry into everyone’s favorite karate saga. In a season marked by shades of gray, we pondered which new characters we found entertaining, which old rivalries may have become stale, and also dared to ask: does every character on this show...

It’s been a long time, we shouldn’t have left you without a dope beat to step to. But for real, we’re back after a little bit of a hiatus, and we’ve got a lot to catch up on. From wrestle road trips to DC for AEW and LA for PWG, to the latest happenings in WWE, and the fun that is AEW. We break it all down, including Brian Kendrick’s fall from grace, the firing (???) of Shane McMahon, and (related...

The MCU train just keeps on rolling, this time with another Disney+ series, Hawkeye. So grab your quiver of trick arrows and get ready to dive in… While we break in the New Year by taking a closer look at nobody’s favorite Avenger, we got a few pleasant surprises. Clint Barton deals with the aftermath of Endgame as well as several other PTSD-inducing moments, all while struggling to mentor a heads...

This episode was recorded on December 16, and published on a delay due to holiday travel. Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like for all of us to just take a moment and just bathe in the glory of Hangman vs Danielson. A 60-minute broadway. When was the last time you have seen that? We were left wanting more during the Winter is Coming episode of AEW Dynamite, despite the only ‘debut’ coming in the form of...

Well, it finally happened. Universes collided when Spider-Man: No Way Home was recently released, and we’re here to deliver all the spoilerific goodness. How many legacy characters can you spot? Is the MCU / Netflix war over? What’s up with the sling ring? And can J. Jonah Jameson really teach Reed Richards to play the drums? All this and a WHOLE lot more (you know what we’re talking about) on the...

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. Survivor Series has long been one of the WWF/WWE's "Big Four PPVs", and more often than not, the event delivers in one form or another.

After a divisive first part, Masters of the Universe: Revelation returns with its final five episodes, so we decided to see what all the fuss (if any) was about. We welcomed back 'Alpha Magnus' Toby Hixon and newcomer, Dave Kindler from Tom Servo’s Used Robots to discuss Kevin Smith’s new marketing approach, Hulk Adam, HeVil-Lyn, equity casting and of course, battle boners. So if you’ve got the po...

What a time to fall in love with promos. Can we all agree that we are experiencing the best promo work in wrestling in a long time? Case in point: the verbal sparring match between MJF and CM Punk. You’ve got to seek it out if you haven’t already seen it. We hope you enjoy this episode because guess what we talk about again!? CODY RHODES! And please don’t get this wrong. We cannot stop talking abo...

Breathe it in everyone. AEW smells like 17 lbs of BBQ smoked pork shoulder. And AEW Full Gear 2021 was delicious. While we continue to eat up what AEW is serving, there’s something else lingering in the air that’s wrecking our appetite a bit. Yeah, you guessed it. MORE talent releases by WWE. For budget reasons. bUdGEt REaSoNs. Man, it’s a bit rough out there, but for many – the grass IS greener o...

We are mournful to hear about how a billion dollar company, yes, billion, like WWE, can let go even more ‘superstars’ from their employ. Eighteen men and women from the WWE have been released due to budget cuts, vaccination status, age, or even on their own accord. However, it has been overall budgetary. Going back to how the WWE has more money than God, the company cannot even pay people for all...

After several delays, Marvel’s latest movie, Eternals, is finally here. But what did we think? Is this movie the new Age of Ultron? Is it a landmark new direction for the MCU and comic book films in general? Or is it a bland, slow-paced slog? Better check Rotten Tomatoes. Oh, wait. No, don’t. Either way, we discussed this movie and several of its talking points, and still aren’t sure exactly what...

He has a new book coming out, so buy that and everything else Jon Moxley + Renee Paquette have out. Lastly.. If you need help, please make eff...

Dang y’all. It happened. The promotion that was always in the back of your mind is going to temporarily (?) go away. Ring of Honor, we will (somewhat) miss you. The Forbidden Door has been open for a little while, now. But THIS opens the Forbidden Gate. So many ROH stars may flock to AEW and Impact or even NJPW. Who knows!? Regardless of what happens, we are here for it. Good luck in particular to...

Hello everyone! Thank you so much for joining us, and thank you for your emails. Please keep those coming or send us questions on our social media @thesteelcage. In our time away due to technical difficulties and time conflicts, one thing we all agree is… AEW is still coming out on top.

As the MCU brings us yet another show to consume, we decided to dive into the multiverse to not only ponder the question, but also review the new Disney + series – What If…? We took a look at what might happen if Agent Carter took the super serum, T’Challa became a Star Lord, Ultron, Yellowjacket and Killmonger won, Doctor Strange lost his heart, Dude Bro Thor and of course… zombies. Lots of zombi...
