This week the entire wrestling world, except AEW (screw you Tony Khan), stopped to remember the passing of arguably the biggest name to ever grace the Squared Circle--Hulk Hugan. It is unfortunate though that his death overshadows those of three other celebrities: Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne and Chuck Mangione. While obviously devoting the most time to "The Hulkster", in this somber episode Buddy Lee pays tribute to all fou...

I have a lot to say this week with Goldberg's retirement and Rollins's injury both happening on S.N.M.E.. The excellent showing by the WWE women at Evolution capped off by a stellar Main Event and a great Cash-in by Naomi. Buddy Lee talks all the fall out on RAW and SD highlighted by a gauntlet match to determine Gunther's opponent at SS and a somewhat shady contract signing between Cody and Cena. I honor the passing of an Oldies I...

Buddy Lee previews and offers match predictions for Money In The Bank (a card with only 4 matches). I have a thought, somewhat plausible, as to why this is. I give a special shout-out and thank you to all those who have downloaded the show over the past several weeks; thus giving me record breaking numbers for that period. Discussion on both RAW and SD, the go-home shows, this week. I also talk about the recent releases of R-Truth,...

I dedicated a good portion of this show reflecting on the life and contributions of someone I spent more than 10yrs listening to; and would spend another 10 were he still with us. Podcasting will never be the same without Kev Castle, R.I.P. my friend. Buddy Lee runs down the cards, as WWE has released the night for each match, for WM 41 nights 1 & 2. I take a look at the full lin-up for the HOF and address my thoughts again on ...

Several notable title changes, an excellent steel cage match and the possibility of two T...

Buddy Lee offers his thoughts on who wins at the Elimination Chamber in what seems to be a moderately predictable PLE. A rundown of the weeks action on RAW and SD; one show did very little to garner interest in the Chamber while the other went out of its way to pique interest. I will return one week from Sun. on March 9, 2025 for the next installment of the Steel Cage. Enjoy!

News broke on Thursday that The Rock would be returning on Smackdown and as I figured he'd want to confront WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. However, he did not ask for what I thought he would. What does he want? Cody's soul. What does this mean? Buddy Lee is as confused as you, but I try my best to break it all down and decipher a meaning. I also talk this year's Hall of Fame class and who's confirmed, rumored and should be going in. WWE...

Tammy Sytch (Sunny) wrote a letter to the judge presiding over her case, Buddy Lee has all the details, the decision rendered and thoughts on the whole thing. I offer my coments on the Samatha Irvin story and her leaving WWE. WWE and AEW both release talent (WWE more so); for the most part it looks like a talent swap. I discuss who's leaving, why a...
