Podcast Episode 66: WrestleMania XXIX Weekend Aftermath

By Joshua Schlag on April 11, 2013 in Interviews, Podcast, RAW, The Steel Cage Podcast, WrestleMania XXIX, WWE

I think it’s safe to say that this week’s Raw greatly overshadowed WrestleMania. The WWE Universe stood tall at the Izod Center, where Dolph Ziggler finally cashed in his Money in the Bank to win the World Heavyweight Championship and Fandangoing became a thing.

In addition, we discuss our time in New York / New Jersey at WrestleCon, $5 Wrestling, and Sunday’s event at Metlife Stadium. All in all, we had a good time, despite a lackluster PPV. Tune in to hear our stories about Marty Jannetty, Robbie E (@RobbieEImpact), John Morrison (@TheRealMorrison), Terri Runnells, Judah Friedlander (@JudahWorldChamp), and yes – Virgil.

Featuring: ‘A-Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49), Joshua Schlag (@thesteelcage / @schlizzag), Sprung (@jasprung), and ‘Super Jew’ Jared (@SuperJew75)

WrestleMania Weekend in Pictures

By Joshua Schlag on April 9, 2013 in WrestleMania XXIX

We’ll be recording this week’s podcast a day late, as we want to make sure everyone is on board and we get to talk about EVERYTHING WrestleMania related. Until then, check out some photos from our time in New York / New Jersey, and keep on singing Fandango’s theme…

: Found this little guy at the Target by my house in Phoenix. He’s coming along for the ride!

: Killing some time at Sky Harbor Airport. No, don’t do it! I’ll handle the beer, Mini CM Punk.

: Landed at JFK. First signs of ‘Mania. Literally.

: Mini CM Punk enjoys the subway. I did, sans the crazy people and the yelling.

: Saturday morning, en route to WrestleCon on a lovely New Jersey Transit bus!

: We made it! Of course, Virgil took our table. We got set up eventually though.

: Our page in the WrestleCon program, vendor pass, MetroCard, and $5 Wrestling ticket.

: We got to meet a lot of fans and potential fans. Thanks to everyone who came by!

: Terri Runnels was set up next to us. D-Lo Brown, in full Aces & Eights garb, made sure to say hello as he passed by.

: One of many lucky winners of horrible WWE Shop merch!

: A blurred image of Marty Jannetty actually seems quite appropriate, here.

: Judah Friedlander (30 Rock) – The World Champion!

: Meanwhile, in Tennessee, my brother (also our designer and occasional podcast contributor), Danny. He was competing in a weightlifting competition, and Hillbilly Jim drove down to hang out.

: Seriously, how many folks can say they had Hillbilly Jim in their corner. Way cool.

: Back in NY… Was this place for tourists and overpriced? Sure. It was delicious, though!

: Mini CM Punk enjoys the view from the rooftop of our hotel before we head out on WrestleMania Sunday.

: Rocking the same shirt I wore for WM XXVI.

: Adam is ready in full Cena garb.

: The flags next to our tailgate location. Thanks fellow Wredditors for hosting us!

: I think he has the pose down.

: Seriously, Mini CM Punk. I got this. Back off.

: These guys were playing wrestler theme songs out of the back of a van. I walked by as they transitioned from Ultimate Warrior to DX.

: This is a Vikings jersey I can respect. Even if it barely sort of happened.

: Uh oh! It’s The Big O! Adam ran into Zack Ryder’s buddies (Chiapetta as well) in line for the pisser.

: The set was simultaneously the best and worst part of WM this year. After quite a bit of jumping through hoops, we got seated in alternate seating. More on that later…

: The view from the hotel rooftop as we reflected on the weekend.

: Decided to walk a bit and grab a beer before heading out. Happened upon Empire State Building. What luck!

: One last round, and we’re out. Thanks New York!

WrestleMania Weekend in New York!

By Joshua Schlag on April 5, 2013 in WrestleMania XXIX

Adam and I are getting on a plane this afternoon to head to New York for WrestleMania weekend! After a beer or two and a few hours of sleep, we’ll be meeting up with Sprung to man our WrestleCon table. I think they open at 9am… We’re not anticipating being there right on time, but probably by 10am or so. Make sure to come pay us a visit, as we’ll be running some raffles for WWEShop.com clearance prizes. Trust me, you won’t believe these things were made until you see them.

More information on WrestleCon: Click Here.

We’re not really sure what the plan is the rest of the night – maybe catch some wrestling, maybe just eat and drink ourselves into oblivion. Got any bright ideas? Hit us up on Twitter.

On Sunday, we’re hoping to meet up with some fellow Redditors tailgating outside of MetLife Stadium, before the big event that night! Hopefully it won’t be raining…

Hopefully we don’t get lost on the subway or shanked in New Jersey, and we make it back to record another podcast next week. Wish us luck!

Podcast Episode 65: WrestleMania XXIX Predictions

By Joshua Schlag on April 3, 2013 in Podcast, RAW, The Steel Cage Podcast, WrestleMania XXIX, WWE

After the shocking close of the go home show, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all ready for WrestleMania… to varying degrees of excitement. Will Undertaker literally eviscerate CM Punk at Metlife Stadium? Will Cena turn heel? Will Paul Heyman show us his best Notorious B.I.G. impersonation? So many questions! We have the answers.

Podcast Episode 64: Cena Gets Rock Bottom’d

By Joshua Schlag on March 27, 2013 in Podcast, RAW, The Steel Cage Podcast, WrestleMania XXIX, WWE

This week on Raw, there was a debate, or something. It was quite exhausting, not going to lie. There were some highlights, though – like Fandango. Who would have thought we’d say such a thing and it wouldn’t be tongue in cheek? Tune in to find out what we think about the upcoming WrestleMania card. It’s fun, I promise.

Hosted by: ‘A-Bomb’ Adam Hess (@ahess49)
