The Steel Cage 7-28-24 Lashley & MVP Leaving WWE
31 JUL 2024 · Buddy Lee discusses the exits of MVP and Bobby Lashley from WWE and why it doesn't have to be this way. What WWE could do to keep them and the roles they could fill. I have a lot of thoughts on the recent turn of events in the 2024 Presidential election regarding Harris, Trump and Biden. A run-down of Summer Slam card as it stands and the match that should Main Event the show...and it's not the WWE Championship. RAW/SD discussion leading up to Summer Slam. PROGRAMMING NOTE      The Summer Slam Preview/Predictions show will be recorded this Friday night.  Â
The Steel Cage 7-21-24 Rhea Ripley Returns
22 JUL 2024 · Buddy Lee is back after a "Staycation" the week before and plays a little catch-up with wrestling as well as current events. Sadly, I had to open remembering the lives of six celebrities who passed away seemingly like dominoes. M.I.T.B. is the first piece of WWE business as I review, to me, the most lackluster PPV/PLE thus far in 2024. Why I feel it was necessary for Drew to lose the briefcase so quickly, despite an outcry to the contrary by the IWC. WWE hires a new announcer, poaching from ESPN again, who he is, what his function will be and when we'll likely see him. I discuss RAW and SD and their build-ups to Summer Slam not to mention official and potential matches for the card. I close out with my thoughts on the WWE "WrestleMania 40--Behind the Curtain" YouTube documentary.Â
The Steel Cage 7-5-24 M.I.T.B. Predictions Show
6 JUL 2024 · Buddy Lee gets you all set for Money In the Bank withhis preview and predictions. Before that, I remember the life of Roman Reigns's father, Sika. One half of perhaps the greatest tag team of all time, with his brother Afa, The Wild Samoans. I look at the last two weeks of RAW and SD mostly relative to M.I.T.B. Lots of interesting discussion leading into the PLE.Â
The Steel Cage 6-23-24 The Wyatt Sicks & Jacob Fatu Debut
26 JUN 2024 · I start with a review for an average Clash At the Castle in Glasgow. Buddy Lee sees logic from both sides in Ricochet leaving WWE and explains why. Drew McIntyre supposedly "quits" on RAW and the IWC (mostly AEW diehards) are all abuzz.The Wyatt Sicks debuts and makes a big splash. Speaking of debuts, Jacob Fatu finally appears on SmackDown and makes a few waves of his own. I discuss in detail a good show on RAW and an excellent outing on SD.Â
The Steel Cage 6-14-24 Clash At The Castle Predictions
16 JUN 2024 · I give my thoughts and predictions for this year's Clash At The Castle. A seemingly predictable card, at least on paper. Buddy Lee also discusses federal officials asking Janel Grant's attorneys to temporarily cease on proceeedings vs Vince McMahon. What this could mean. I have thoughts on the Ricky Steamboat biographyand several things I didn't know. Lots of RAW and SD discussion.Â
The Steel Cage 6-9-24 Is Liv Stealing Dom Dom
10 JUN 2024 · Buddy Lee is back with a special double episode after being a little under the weather a week ago. First I give my thoughts and review King/Queen of the ring from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I was certainly and pleasantly surprised by how lively the crowd was. Will anything come of the funky finish to Gunther/Orton?, my reaction to Triple H's response and why it was the right answer. I have two weeks of RAW and SD to cover and a lot went down (especially on Raw). I talk all about Liv kissing Dom Dom and why there's much ado about nothing. Paul Lavesque (HHH) is placing some much needed emphasis on the Women's Tag Titles and I couldn't be happier. Shayna/Zoey and Alba/Isla, all RAW talent, appear on SD woth no storyline explanation. Becky's contract expires and the IWC is abuzz with click-bait. I try to settle all the doubts about the state of her career. PROGRAMING NOTE I will record my "Clash At The Castle" predictions show this Fri. night following SmackDown. After that, the next episode of The Steel Cage will be Sun., 6/23.
The Steel Cage 5-24-24 King-Queen of the Ring Predictions
26 MAY 2024 · Buddy Lee gives his thoughts on another very simple, predictable WWE PLE: King & Queen of the Ring. With WWE in front of yet another international audience and at least two more to come before Summer is out, I wonder about the state of said crowds. Buddy lee has an interseting discussion on whether or not, using social media, if these international audiences could be trying to outdo each other as to who can be the best, liveliest. Injury update on Ivar who takes to social media himself to eliminate all controversy regarding his health. I talk about the go-home shows this week (RAW/SD) and which did a better job promoting the PLE. I close out with my predictions on who leaves winners.
The Steel Cage 5-19-24 Gunther vs Dragunov Will Have To Wait
22 MAY 2024 · Buddy Lee has really enjoyed the KIng/Queen tournaments this year and his primary discussion focuses on it. Injury updates on Asuka and several others as WWE is bitten by the injury bug. I close out with thoughts on "Black Saturday", season finale for D.S.O.T.R..
The Steel Cage 5-3-24 Backlash Preview & Predictions
5 MAY 2024 · Buddy Lee gives his thoughts and predictions for Backlash. I give my honest assessment of the 2024 WWE draft. Some discussion on the go home shows for Backlash and I close out with thoughts on this week's D.S.O.T.R. The Sandman. Â
The Steel Cage 4-28-24.WWE Takes The Safe Route With Women's World Title
29 APR 2024 · Rhea Ripley is forced to relinquish her title and one week later WWE hot-shots it on to Becky Lynch. I'll talk about why it was the right move to make; although it's not what I would have done. Dominik joins Mami on the injured list; Buddy Lee sheds light on the severity of each and how much time they'll likely miss. WWE releases several names, I have the list and give thoughts on each one. The Draft started Friday night and will culminate on RAW tomorrow; otherwise two average shows this week. Buddy Lee discusses both. I close out with two episodes of D.S.O.T.R.-- "Gentleman" Chris Adams and "Sensational" Sherry. Programming Note I will post the Backlash Prdictions show this Friday night/ early Saturday Morning. Â
