    • Guerilla Tactics: Sanada vs Tama | NJPW G131 B Block | 9 19 21
      Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast. I am your host Marie Shadows. I dive deep into the match between Sanada vs Tama Tonga because while I was a guest host on Tama's Island via Twitch, Tama said that he could be guy to take Sanada to the next level if they were to have a feud. Their match was amazing & re-watching it told me that, that feud needs to happen. I break down everything:
       -Character work 
      -Promo work 
      -Personality wise 
      -Psychology 
      -Tama has 5% wildfire 
      I still believe Tama should have won because I want him to win the G131. I hope you enjoy it.

    • AEW All Out Review 2021

      Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows! And I bring you my review - finally - of AEW All Out that took place on September 5th in Chicago. I was the Smacked Raw Pod to do a preview and then a review of All Out. I then hopped on again to do Unpopular Wrestling Opinion with Kyle. Life is good. I love wrestling. However! In my review this is what I discuss:

      -How The Young Bucks can tweak their in-ring psychology to make stronger stories/matches so critics can shut up.
      -Explaining further & deeper why I am no longer a CM Punk fan.
      -Talking about why Ruby Soho winning the Battle Royal may not have been the best choice while giving an alterative on how her story could have been build by coming up second to Thunder Rosa.
      -That WWE foot on the rope spot.
      -The Good Sisters
      ect.
