I think I’m just going to spend the day watching #SmackDown Steel Cage Matches

Jeff Hardy took so many crazy bumps in matches he ended up losing lol. Billy Gunn launched him over the cage just for X-Pac to toss him back in before the ref saw. Funny how cage matches started with just one referee in the ring. Not the most efficient way lol #SmackDown 11/25/99

The single referee is outside the cage for this match between Al Snow vs The Rock. So basically pin your opponent for 5 seconds bc he ain’t getting in the ring that fast #SmackDown 12/23/99

The referee trying to get into position to check if feet hit the floor, open and close the door, and count pin falls by himself #SmackDown 12/23/99

No steel cage matches on SmackDown again until 2002 but it’s Kurt Angle (with a fresh head of “hair”) vs Edge, so it was worth the wait! #SmackDown 5/30/2002

My brain every time someone on commentary says the word “steel”

Kurt Angle & Edge Carole Baskin

Using the cage as a weapon

#SmackDown 5/30/02

It’s a miracle y’all!!!! Chris Jericho takes on Edge and believe it or not, we finally have two referees working the match! Efficiency!! #SmackDown 7/25/02

Christian, Lance Storm, Test, and Chris Jericho attack Edge after the match. John Cena and Rey Mysterio show up to help Edge. The talent in this ring rn...... #SmackDown 7/25/02

Stephanie McMahon’s hair and that laptop are in a fierce competition to look like the most 2003 thing ever #SmackDown 3/6/03

This next steel cage match is a toss up tbh #SmackDown 3/6/03

Brock Lesnar vs Mr. McMahon with WWE Champion Kurt Angle as the special guest referee. Incoming 10 star match #SmackDown 8/7/03

Brock Lesnar treated Kurt Angle in this match like 2020 has treated all of us #SmackDown 8/7/03

Eddie Guerrero pulling up in the low rider to take on JBL inside a steel cage for the title! This one’s gonna be good #SmackDown 7/15/04

JBL cheats [redacted] out of another US Title victory #SmackDown 4/14/06
