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:... more
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 T... more
Chee hoo!!!It's your boys at The Steel Cage, back to break down the results of the Royal Rumble as we look ahead to all the great things on the horizon in pro wrestling: NXT Vengeance Day, AEW Grand Slam Australia, and WWE Elimination Chamber.Plus: W... more
You guys. It's been nearly two years. NEARLY TWO YEARS.
But we're back!
Wrestling has never left us, and we've never left it. We just.. got busy, y'know? Family, kids, life, careers.
But a lot has happened in the wrestling world, too. Vince is ... more

Daniel Anderson is a predator. They go by Jack Heartless today. Know what they are.
I wrote a review with a different account five years ago and I agree with myself now... that says a lot
Looks like they’ve changed the format of the podcast quite a bit from years past. I don’t watch WWE as much anymore, but would really enjoy listening to this podcast to keep tabs on the product. But it appears they don’t do their weekly recaps anymore.
I like Sprung. He is smart and has a lovely speaking voice. He likes Yano. That makes him good
So, this can be hit or miss depending on who joins the show, a solid 4 stars, when it’s Derek & Josh. On the rare occasions when Sprung joins it’s a 5 star. If Jared is involved 0 stars, I stopped subscribing, and only download, if his name is not in the credits.
Please talk more WWE, this is more
of a complaint than a rating. I look forward to this podcast every week regarding to WWE, and it’s a bit disheartening when the newest episodes are different topics. Dig up more insiders and theories on WWE wrestlers. I think you guys can get more productive on that!
Been listening to The Steel Cage for the last 4 years, literally don't think I've missed an episode - always make sure I find time in the week to listen. The hosts simple laid back approach to wrestling coverage makes it stand out amongst others, with the addition of some pretty funny personalities.
Never stop podcasting!
Been listening to this lot for years. Really fun shows.
I’ve never hated a group of people without meeting them this much. Can’t even count the ways they’re awful. This is Reddit the Podcast. 🤮
Gotta say this one used to be one of my fav podcasts but find it hard to get through a whole episode nowadays. I've been subscribed since 2013 but today decided to unsubscribe, mainly bc of Derek. Didn't mind him too much when he first joined but he has slowly taken over the whole podcast with some real bad shows, miss the old crew. Best part now is the unfunny nerd tangents so i will just subscribe to that feed.
Awful. These guys don't know anything about pro wrestling. They're just internet smarks that hate everything. And the guy talking about bourbon is useless.
There's no format, no organization. Just then complaining and voicing their same opinions of how they hate everything presented.
Pass this one by for sure.
This show was one of the first wrestling podcasts I listened to.That was a long time ago. I simply just got tired of Dereck being on every single show and constantly rambling about nothing and tell very unfunny jokes , and while I appreciate the others contributions to the show he just became to much. I unsubscribe and unfortunately I never will come back again.
The Steel Cage used to be a great podcast but ever since Derek joined it started going down hill FAST. Switch over to "The Dirty Sheets" pod
because Nick and Billi are 100% more entertaining.
don't waste your time episode 286 garbage
These guys use to be clever and witty but since Derek showed up it's slowly gone down hill. What once was a a very entertaining Raw review podcast is now nothing more then a circle jerk about indie darlings. Sorry guys I wish you the best but it's not fun to listen to anymore
