Released in 2011, The Greatest Cage Matches Of All Time is and isn't a follow-up to the 2004 DVD Wrestling's Most Incredible Steel Cage Matches. Allow me to explain: it does, as the title suggests, focus on memorable Steel Cage bouts, as did its predecessor. However, a number of the featured matches are duplicated, and the name, the artwork, the set-up etc are dissimilar between the two compilations. That being said, this three-disc collection is superior, not only because it has more matches but because it is more comprehensive with its picks, and all the bouts are in complete form, which wasn't the case with the 2004 release.
Hosted by Josh Matthews, this DVD focuses by and large on a different decade for each disc, although the opening third includes bouts from 1979-1989. As this period still included the territories at their peak, the number of companies contributing to this disc is greater. A WWF match between Bob Backlund and Pat Patterson kicks us off and is good for the era. Backlund also faces Jimmy Snuka where the heel Superfly first executes a (missed) splash off the cage. We get Bruno Sammartino vs. Larry Zbyszko from Shea Stadium which is alright and a good way to spotlight their famous rivalry.
