Squared Circle Podcast

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! Sometimes, girls become super insufferable that you need to call them out, and oh boy did I call them out.

https://patreon.com/marieshadows Hey friends, Let’s get into it. I need to be honest: right now, Konosuke is not my IWGP World Heavyweight Champion , and it’s not just about him. There’s a bigger picture here—how NJPW operates, how talent is booked, and how the prestige of the belt has been handled. Konosuke is strong, can hit hard, and he knows how to get a reaction. He can point at the hard cam,...

I’ve seen how fast people throw away their morals, how quick they are to scream about decency while showing none. This episode — this...

In the latest installment of Discord Notes , I opened up about more than just wrestling. Volume 7 is about building strong foundations — whether in conversations, communities, or creative platforms.
