Are you ready for some football? This week we are joined by a very special guest, Max Bacon of the Hoggin' the Mic podcast, to take a look back at the strange, sleazy, ill-fated experiment known as the XFL.  We keep the football theme going with a brand new Fave Five about football players turned wrestlers, and since it's an exciting time of the year for wrestling fans as well as football fans, The J-ster challenges the group to a Royal Rumble-themed Steel Quiz Match.

New co-host David Modzelewski joins Chris and Eddie to discuss instances of the WWE attempting to alter history or erase certain wrestlers from memory.

It's the "season finale" of the Blue Barred Cage, so we chose to take a look back at some of our favorite moments from the first year of the show. However, things didn't go exactly as expected, and it has led to a major shake-up for the podcast. We have chosen to post this episode with the ending intact, so our fans understand what happened (we warn you, there is some very NSFW language). We hope that you will join us soon as we embark on season two.
