Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows, and I was able to attend the AEW Media briefing with Cody Rhodes that discussed all things about tomorrow's AEW Dynamite (8.4.21) Homecoming.

Welcome to The Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! On today's episode, I am tired of the rumors circulating about CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. These two men who had one hit wonders don't need to step back into wrestling when the industry moved on and we have hungrier talent than before all around the world. They have done a lot for the business but this overshadows the home grown ta...

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows. It was originally to be Kota Ibushi vs Shingo for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. However, Ibushi is still feeling the affects of the second vaccine shot. Tanahashi - after defeating Kenta on July 24, 2021 - became the replacement for Ibushi. Tana vs Shingo was a last minute match during the main event of Tokyo Dome. Bot...

"The decisions aren't hard; only the work is." A quote from Jay White during a written interview done for the Fale Dojo.

AEW D...

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! I discuss Shingo vs Ospreay for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship while giving insightful commentary on why Ospreay had a smart strategy, why Shingo decides to sacrifice his body in hopes of winning, and both guys giving it their all. It was an amazing 45 min match from start to finish, and Ospreay completely, without doubt...

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your unapologetic host, Marie Shadows. AEW still has a long way to go to be the damn amazing show it once was BEFORE the Pandemic. I don't want a perfect product. I want to see logical storylines, no more sloppy match cards with filler content and forced stories. I want my intelligence to not be insulted. And I need The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega - The...

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! So, over on twitter, wrestling fans complained about the 40 mins for a main event that featured the NEVER Openweight Title between Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Jay White. The story went over everyone's head.

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! On this episode, I discuss the history of Iron Fingers and why it's important in New Japan Pro Wrestling and why Taichi has it.

Tha...

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! I talk about the Young Lions: Gabriel Kidd, Yuya, and Tsuji, and how all of them have stepped up during all the tours and shows!
