Wrestling Bios Presents - The History of WWF's Big Blue Steel Cage
The "Big Blue" WWF Steel Cage was introduced to television audiences in 1986. During the WrestleMania II show, fans witnessed the mighty King Kong Bundy take on fan favourite Hulk Hogan in this new steel structure. Typically, WWF cage matches had been held inside mesh or cyclone wire cages, but at WrestleMania 2, fans watching at home saw the reinforced blue cage for the very first time.
The Big Blue Cage would become a cornerstone in the WWF for years, finally making it's retirement way later in 2001. By that time, the cage had got a new coat of paint. On television, the cage had it's last public display in a match held in the UK featuring Edge and Christian. During it's active years, the big blue cage hosted matches featuring legends such as Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, The Ultimate Warrior, Mankind, Ravishing Rick Rude and loads more.
This mini documentary from Wrestling Bios takes a look at the complete history of WWF's big blue steel cage. Topics and matches covered include:
02:04 - The Blue Steel Cage makes it's debut at WrestleMania II
05:20 - Paul Orndorff vs Hulk Hogan Cage Match at SNME
08:07 - WWF No Holds Barred Movie / Match on Pay Per View

17:50 - One of my favorite moments of the early genesis of the The Attitude Era. Bret’s promo was absolutely incredible and the way they played it with McMahon made it seemed like there was a high level of truth behind it all. Everyone from Bret, to Austin, to UT and Micheals were at, or near, their absolute peak and the angles were awesome. 1997 was my favorite year for professional wrestling. The WWF changed significantly and NWO was still going strong in WCW.

I grew up a NY WWF wrestling fan. The Big Blue Cage meant BUSINESS! When you heard 'steel cage' the excitement was palpable. The very sight of the cage on match day was awe inspiring & you knew something special & brutal was about to happen. Years later while watching NWA I was so disappointed that their "steel cages" were simply large panels of backyard fencing. I couldn't believe it & to me as a little kid that fence 'cage" was just oh sooo lame.

[@Rando1975]

Shawn Michael's said in an interview that he wanted the mesh cage for Hell in the Cell as you couldn't bump off of Big Blue.

[@aaronsugar7228]

The Big Blue was easier for Hogan to climb, and was also easier to get a handheld camera between the bars to get a good shot, and in general was easier for wide cameras to focus on the wrestlers. The ability to drop the cage from ceiling was a game changer. Before that, any cage match required a lengthy intermission to set up. As my dad commented to me after the Snuka/Muraco cage match (Buffalo, NY edition), It took twice as long to set up the cage as it took to have the match.

I loved that old blue cage. I also agree that having pinfall and submission's in the cage is just bleh.

[@Mayhem5150]

IDK it always seemed weird to me that you work to get locked into a cage with your rival and the way to end the feud is to essentially run away. I've personally always preferred pins and submissions in cage matches. The sniveling heel should be made to get his comeuppance with his shoulders pinned or by tapping out rather than not being able to escape which is what they usually did every time leading up to the cage being booked. It's all semantics though, if the match was quality the finish could be anything and still be good.

[@dalesides1490]

@@Mayhem5150 That makes sense

[@knottheory79220]

@@Mayhem5150 In the carny days and early territory days, that was actually the idea of the cage. They didn't use the cage itself as a weapon back then (well I'm sure they did but that wasn't the draw), but it was a common heel tactic to just run away from the babyface and lose the match by count out to either prevent a championship loss or for the heel to just taunt the face and work up the crowd. The cage was intended to force a definitive end to the feud.

[@aaronsugar7228]

I believe the "escape the cage" rule was created by Vince Sr as a way to have Bruno lose a match without getting pinned.

[@justinstoreforyou]

Richfield Coliseum was about 20 minutes from where I live. I know they did a ton of house shows back in the day. I wonder if any local fans have any photos of what the cage looked like.

[@e8tballz]

Just a memory, I love to share, at 12:02, you’re showing a listing of house show cage matches. Listed is Shawn Michaels vs Randy Savage. Imo, it was one of the best matches I’ve ever seen. I was 9 so take that into consideration. This was old school Boston and the match was meant to be Jake Roberts vs Savage. When Fink announced Jake Roberts would not be appearing due to personal reasons, the crowd went crazy. I learned more curse words in 30seconds than I had my entire life. People were unbelievably upset. The show went on and then the main event. Even though Shawn was the heel, he was treated like the antichrist and a Rocker who didn’t deserve to be there, he ate it up, he climbed to the top of the blue cage and did the famous pose and flex. Which made the crowd furious.... but worked. Fans instead of wanting him to just go away now really wanted to see him get smashed by Savage. They had an AMAZING match. It was the moment I learned about wrestling psychology. I remember everyone leaving really happy.

[@MBM1117727]

That's an awesome story.

[@mr.mirchenstein6549]

I’ve heard that even tho it didn’t appear on TV til the 1980s, that the cage was originally designed like that back in the 60s or 70s when Bruno Sammartino was feuding with THE SHEIK (Sabus’s Uncle) over the WWWF Title. Made it easier for them to work and for the Sheik to climb with his crazy boots.

[@scypsylock9402]

The last Piper/Orndorf cage match was in the regular cage and not the big blue cage. I can verify that because I was there and still have the tape we used to record from the third row. The big blue cage was painted black because they wanted it to match the theme as well as make it less distracting for the viewers.

[@FirstLast-vl1uy]

The Warrior - Rude match was huge. It for whatever reason had significantly more hype by word of mouth than almost any wrestling match I remember in that era. It was up there with Warrior - Hogan except it seem even more so. You couldnt go a day without out some kid talking about it in school and even for months afterwards. I think it just had alot to do with the way it was hyped, using the past matches with Rude and Warrior to hype it up as like a Thrilla in a Manilla type fight trilliogy. Im sure it had alot to do with the phenomena of the Ultimate Warrior himself. I might be bias because late 80s to early 90s was my era and Warrior was my favorite for years even before he won the title but the energy and popularity he and his fans had was insane. It was at least for a short time in my opinion greater than Hulkamania and it had a different flavor to. Warrior didnt use the same generic phrases as Hogan and other guys. He said weird insane stuff that made you question his origin and sanity. My type of guy. That short reign he had was strangely electrifying in a way no one has been before or since. the Macho King - Warrior match was big too but I dont remember it sticking out as much as the Rude match. I also remember the Hogan - Bundy match pretty well but I cant recall if I watch it as it happened. I think I rented it on vhs years later like I eventually did with every wrestle mania from 1 to 6. I also distinctly remember Warrior "accidentally" pulling Rude's pants down as Rude tried to crawl out the cage door.

I know in retrospect a lot of people don’t take Hogan seriously as a wrestler, but when he suplexed Boss Man off of the top of the Big Blue Cage I was forever a fan from that day forward.

[@BudSchnelker]

There's definitely a generational line here. As someone who thinks of Backlund/Snuka, Flair/Race, Snuka/Muraco, etc. as the gold standards of cage matches, the blue cage seemed way too cartoony for me. I was glad to see it eventually disappear. I will say, however, that Bret v. Owen was the best cage match I've ever seen conducted under WWF rules. However, it would have been just as good in the a chain-link style cage.

I have legit had a fascination with Big Blue since I was a kid. Can't even tell you how compelling these videos are for a wrestling geek like me.

This is my childhood steel cage match

I remember that Hogan/Orndorff SNME Cage match to this day. That was the talk of the school for days

I love the big blue steel cage match and I love the black steel cage match in wrestling I November Hulk Hogan wrestle Mr wonderful Paul Orndorff on Saturday night Main Event on January 3rd, 1987

Many people also remember that Warrior-Rick Rude steel cage match. Probably because of Warrior pulling off Rude's pants mooning live audiences and TV audiences around the world (somehow, they didn't censored that part in our country)
