The Steel Cage Podcast Network

It’s been a while.In this episode, we check in on where we’re at as wrestling fans in late 2025: what still works, what doesn’t, and why the way we engage has changed.John Cena’s farewell at Saturday Night’s Main Event becomes the starting point: a look at legacy, development, and what it means to leave the business on your own terms. We talk Cena’s final match and the moments around it, WWE’s evolving developmental system and its shift toward “home-grown” talent, and how those changes shape the product fans see today.From there, we zoom out — discussing the personal lines fans draw with WWE, and why other forms of wrestling may feel more inviting right now, including AEW’s compelling main-event picture reset and the intimate energy of the indie scene.This isn’t a recap, and it’s not a rant. It’s a conversation about wrestling, fandom, and choosing what still feels meaningful.

Josh, Derek, and Sprung talk AEW Dynasty, preview the WrestleMania card, and drum up some excitement about their time to come in Sin City!

The one thing we never thought we'd see happen in a WWE ring happened at Elimination Chamber in Toronto. John Cena turned his back on Cody Rhodes. He turned his back on the fans. He turned his back on all the goodwill he's developed over decades as THE babyface.. and he sided with The Rock in a move that sparked more excitement than ever for the final stretch of the Road to WrestleMania.Join us as we break all of that down, look at the women's championship picture, dive into NXT, and run down the AEW Revolution card. LFG!Featuring: Josh Schlag, ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek Montilla, Dave the FaveMusic by The Black Furies

But a lot has happened in the wrestling world, too. Vince is gone. TKO has taken over. AEW has found its place. Streaming platforms are taking over. At its core, despite all that, the carney business we all know and love is thriving, and we're happy to be along for the ride. Join us as we get into the latest from WWE, AEW, New Japan, and more!

We did, so dive into the SpeedForce with us and see if we can change the timeline for the better. Michael Keaton! Two Barry Allens? Justice League Cameos! Bad CGI on purpose? Giant Spiders! And more Easter Eggs you can throw a SuperJew at. So, come with us on a journey into Box Office Bomb Territory and help discover the secret of why so many DC characters seem to have the same names. “Nora!” Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

It’s that time of the year, where once again, WWE takes over a city, and a week-long pro wrestling mecca is formed. This time, WrestleMania Goes Hollywood, as WWE invades Los Angeles! WrestleMania 39 seems to be set for an amazing post-pandemic / post-VKM comeback for WWE. Sure, not every match on the show seems like it will be a banger. But one thing is for sure – The Bloodline stories are set to dominate the weekend. As the main event, we have quintessential sports entertainer Cody Rhodes, making his big push for the big title against the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns. Some were skeptical after the Royal Rumble wins, but the booking and promos in recent months have cemented this feud as one for the history books. Will Cody do it? The other big match intertwined in this story is The Usos defending their tag team championships against Kevin Owens and former Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn. Will KO and SZ’s friendship prove to be the stronger force, or is there something nefarious looming, as has been known to happen to those two over the years? Join us on this episode as we break down those matches, and the rest of the card, as well as recap the night we had at the final RAW before Mania in Phoenix, Arizona! Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), ‘Uncle Beek’ Jeremey (@jaimsvanderbeek), ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75), G1 (@G1ToTheRescue), Rok (@Roknowledge), and ‘The Beast from the East Valley’ Darrell Johnson (@zazzumplop).

That’s right, we have returned! Okay, it’s not from the Quantum Realm, but UNT is back to review Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania (brother). If you were wondering what S.U.P.E.R.J.E.W. stood for, why Cassie looks different or just how many holes we have, look no further as we dive ooze-first into our latest podcast, where we discuss the latest installment of the MCU. Was this movie as disappointing as the critics say? Or is it building to something with a rarely-seen nuance and subtlety not often present in the MCU? Will Kevin finally stop calling Bill Murray, and is Michelle Pfeiffer still white gold? To find out, kick back and exile yourself with us and the Dynasty of UNTs (no we didn’t leave out a letter). Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

The 2023 Royal Rumble is this Saturday… Join us as we preview the card! No matter the state of things in the world and WWE, the Rumble always delivers a fun time. Who do you have walking away with the WrestleMania title shot? Cody Rhodes? Jey Uso? The Rock? And on the women’s side, can anyone stop Rhea Ripley? And what sort of fun surprises are in store? Take some notes, make some prop bets, and crack a few beers this Saturday as it all goes down live on the ‘cock. On a more somber note, the wrestling world recently lost a prominent figure when Jay Briscoe suddenly passed away in a car accident last week. We do our part to remember him, just as AEW did this week on Dynamite. RIP, Jamin Pugh. Featuring: ‘The Mayor of Reseda’ Derek (@cap_kaveman), ‘Uncle Beek’ Jeremey (@jaimsvanderbeek), ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75), G1 (@G1ToTheRescue), Rok (@Roknowledge), and Mega Ran (@MegaRan) Music by The Black Furies, courtesy of Music Alley Be sure to take a gander at the selections at thesteelcageshop.com, as well as Uncle Beek’s designs over at pentagonzo.com

Just in time for the Holiday Season, we caught up with two recent additions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever & The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special! How did Marvel handle the untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman? Pretty respectfully, we thought, but did the mantle of Black Panther end up with the right person? Also, what exactly is the GOTG Holiday Special meant to be? Well, you'll just have to listen to find out! Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Get ready to smash through courtrooms and the fourth wall with our review of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. How does a single woman navigate life in the MCU as a courtroom lawyer, while dealing with her new Hulk powers? These are the questions raised by the latest Marvel show, that dared to be a little too comic book accurate for some folks. But also... Is it as bad as they say it is? Has it “ruined” the MCU? How much fourth wall breaking is too much? And which cameo was your favorite? Find out the answers to these (and many more) questions as we embark on our own mustard-and-ketchup walk of shame to review ­She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. NOTE: No costumed frogmen were hurt in the making of this podcast. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Who the hell starts a press conference like that, anyway? YOU know what we're talking about. Man, a LOT has gone down since the last time we put out an episode. From the ousting of the old regime at WWE to AEW burning maybe a little too hot as of late. It really is a good time to be a wrestling fan, whether or not you're fully plugged into the behind-the-scenes nonsense that's been going on. We break down the mess that is CM Punk, Tony Khan's mixed bag of leadership, THE face of AEW (it's Mox), and the mega-return of mega-heel MJF. And so so much more. Bust out the muffins, y'all. It's podcasting time!

A spin-off, a prequel, a sequel… only the very best with just the right amount of dirty. You know what to do… Better Call Saul! With Better Call Saul now joining Breaking Bad by sailing off into the television sunset, we decided to pop a cork on a bottle of Zafiro and reminisce over one of the greatest shows to ever be on TV. How does it compare to Breaking Bad? How does it connect to Breaking Bad? Are there any questions about this show NOT related to Breaking Bad? Well, slip on your finest bright-colored suit and join us in the desert (or under the lab) for UNT 143. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

It’s a Predator movie, but not as you know it. That’s right, get your camouflage ready because we watched Prey. How do you reinvent the Predator franchise while still paying tribute to all that’s come before? Well, they found a way. From the epic landscapes to the simplistic-yet-effective storytelling, hear what we had to say about this film and why it was a pleasant surprise in a world full of terrible reboots / sequels. So check out episode 142 of UNT and as always… Get to the Choppa! Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

It's back! And you can bet your last jar of peanut butter that we're going to review it! Stranger Things returned with its fourth entry, so get ready to return to the Upside Down with your favorite nerds... What happens when you cross a Russian prison story with Carrie and A Nightmare on Elm Street, not to mention D&D, thrash metal and that subplot with Will? That's right, you get Season 4 of the hit Netflix show Stranger Things! And we here at UNT were destined to review it, in this reality or the next. So roll the dice, run up that hill and master your puppets, then check out episode 141 before the grandfather clock chimes for you! P.S.

Hey, bro… are you ready for another trip to Asgard? Or what’s left of it, anyway? Then grab your 80s hair metal vest and listen up as we review Thor: Love and Thunder. Once again we dive into the colorful and calamitous world of Taika Waititi and his wacky (or is that too wacky?) take on everyone’s favorite god of capentry… sorry, Thunder, with a new fourth entry into the Thor franchise. Natalie Portman returns, as does a host of fan-fav characters, whether it’s Thor, or Gorr, or Korg… note to Marvel: some non-rhyming names might be in order next time. But either way, we stole the lightning bolt and rode the goats to Valhalla on this one, so don’t flick too hard, just check out UNT 140! Hosted by: ‘Greeig the Pod Butcher’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

Welcome to the Multiverse, where anything and everything is possible! Kind of. Come with us on our latest journey as we review Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. What happens when the director of Evil Dead and Darkman gets to make a follow up movie to not only the original Doctor Strange film, but also WandaVision? You get Bruce Campbell, that’s what.

With the Multiverse of Madness on its way, we used the power of the Time Stone to go back and correct a mistake to finally review the MCU movie from 2016, Doctor Strange. Benedict Cumberbatch and Stephen Strange have since become a mainstay in the MCU, but this is where it all started. We covered sorcerers, sling rings, the difference between dimensions, realities and universes, as well as taking a look to the future to what the new Doctor Strange film might unlock. Most of all, we want Bruce Campbell. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

We’re in that in-between space from AEW Revolution to WWE WrestleMania. AEW put on a heck of a show. WWE’s gonna do what they do. Overall, we’re still having fun, especially watching the likes of CM Punk, Bryan Danielson/Mox/Regal, Thunder Rosa, and Kevin Owens as they do their things. But with the fun, comes the real stuff too. We had to say goodbye to a childhood favorite in Scott Hall. And we saw a tragic accident occur with the beloved Big E (Langston.. we still put some respect on the name!). Join us as we find ourselves on the Road to WrestleMania (watch party, not the actual thing). RIP WrestleMania Road Trip. Long live the WrestleMania Road Trip!

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 before you join the ‘ugly actors need roles too’ picket line, chill out at the Iceberg Lounge and take a listen to our latest episode. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Rata Alada' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) and Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: Michael Giacchino & Nirvana.

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 what exactly makes a butterfly a butterfly, how best to create an opening titles sequence for your new show and of course, what Aquaman really does with all those fish. So find your chainsaw and check out episode 135 of Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Fish Lover' Tim Agne (@timagne). 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) & Teek Hall (@Teek_Hall). Music by:  Wig Wam & WWE.

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 of thing, or do they become a developmental ground of sorts? Beyond that (and potentially related) – what will happen with guys like William Regal, Cesaro, and Samoa Joe. Between AEW, ROH, and other options like New Japan – the world is their oyster. We also take some time to talk about C*ntrol Your Narrative and the ridiculousness that surrounds that shitshow of an organization. BLAH. Join us, won’t you?

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! Rancors! Runaway trains! Jedi! The Dark Saber! Thundercat! Cobb Vanth! Flashdance! And the live action debut of Cad Bane! All of this and more on the latest Unfunny Nerd Tangent. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

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!

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. The Royal Rumble has come and gone for 2022, leaving behind some polarising opinions on the show and its winners.

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 need a redemption arc? Find out the answers and more as we return to the blue mats to strike first with Cobra Kai: Season 4. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

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 to the last point) just how BAD a lot of the Royal Rumble was last weekend.

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 headstrong, young sidekick. If you like LARPing, this might not be the podcast for you, but rest assured, we discussed the surprises and set-ups this latest series had to offer, including the return of Yelena, new character, Echo, a Salamanca who may-or-may-not be the Swordsman, and of course… everyone’s MVP when it comes to that Netflix universe.

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 a hint at Brody King. In a way, we are sad but also happy for Kevin Owens with his re-signing to the WWE. We fantasy-booked a lot of potential storylines that could have happened, but we are still hopeful. Upon the horizon, we are seeing a new generation of giants looming over the WWE. Will this turn the once juggernaut promotion back around? Winners of the Week!

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.

So if you’ve got the power, check out Episode 130! Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

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.

We cannot stop talking about this. I honestly believe this is one of the best untold storylines to date. Winners of the Week!

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 on the other side, and there is BBQ. In the end, watch what you love and support the wrestlers that make you happy. Winners of the Week!

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 their extra work! Perfect example, Xavier Woods and the Up Up Down Down Youtube team. It is frustrating… and it is losing support from the fans. We are ready to support AEW’s PPV Full Gear! So much so that our annual Turducken Celebration will be dedicated to Full Gear. No more Survivor Series. The fellas book the full card! Share with us your #WotW on social media. Winners of the Week!

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 to think, besides all the accidental Game of Thrones references. So get ready for your own Emergence as we welcome back Mike Seibert from Mike Seibert Radio to join us on Episode 129: Eternals. Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: 'Tinkerbell' Tim Agne (@timagne), 'Superjew' Jared Robinovitz (@Superjew75) and Mike Seibert (@MikeSibertRadio). Music by: The Bangles & Pink Floyd.

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. Sometimes in wrestling, certain booking decisions occur that really make you wonder exactly what those responsible were thinking, if at all. So for this episode of AT3, we dove into the Way Back machine and chose our Top 3 instances in wrestling history where we’d change the booking. So get your Flux Capacitors fluxing and join us as we head down the hypothetical rabbit hole to “improve” upon those moments in wrestling that bothered us most. We'll see you Down Under. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘Little Sherbie’ Stacey Herbert (@littlesherbie) & ‘Stinga’ Steve Wray (@stinga57). Music courtesy of Purple Planet.

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 Danhausen! Join us for this episode where we delve into fantasy booking, talk about where we see some talent going, and share memories about ROH. Winners of the Week!

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. We know this will get mixed feelings…but, AEW is also doing fantastic in the ratings. The numbers don’t lie. We also have come to find out that NXT 2.0 is really feeling like a developmental brand again. Could this be because NXT is no longer looking to the independent scene for talent? We can really see NXT is really leaning into growing their own talent. Winners of the Week!

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 zombies. Not to mention, the multitude of other unwieldly inquiries, such as why wasn’t Carol worthy, is Andrew W.K. the new Howard the Duck, and could Tom Cruise kick Jared’s ass? Find out the answers to these mysteries and many more, as UNT dares to ask – What If…? Hosted by: 'Captain Boomerang' Greig Tansley (@GreigT13).

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. The Money in the Bank concept has been around for well over a decade now, and has become one of the most exciting, anticipated and unpredictable elements of WWE. So of course, after watching Big E cash in recently, it got the gears in our little Aussie minds turning. What were some of the best cash ins over the years? Which were the worst? And which ones hold a special place in our upside-down-under-hearts? With special guest, Adrian Trinchera from the It's Boss Time Podcast, we attempted to climb the ladder, grab that briefcase and find out, all on the latest AT3. We'll see you Down Under. Hosted by: ‘Captain Boomerang’ Greig Tansley (@GreigT13). Featuring: ‘Little Sherbie’ Stacey Herbert (@littlesherbie) & Adrian Trinchera from the It's Boss Time! Podcast (@BossTimePodcast).
