Damn, January 2026—wisdom tooth out, cold recovery, but Season 7 of the Square Circle Podcast is here! We're closing 2025 (burnout, reflections, cesspool Twitter) & charging into 2026: chasing conversations, tape study breakdowns, calling out wrestling community BS. No trendy voice—real talk on partnerships (WWE/TNA good, AEW/NJPW slimy), content creator fakeness, women's "equity" nonsense (merit over gender/skin color—fuck feminism ruining minds), and more.

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. This is what happened:

1. Sarah is from the UK; she's a liberal and hypocrite and wants to yell at both men and women. She's a women hater and a men hater as well. She thinks she knows about wrestling, she doesn't. And I made the: Dry Ass Pussy Sticker in honor of her. Buy now: Dry Ass P*ss*y Talk | Marie Shadows2. Lizzy Flangan tried to ruin Tommy Invinicble's career by sending out false allegiations. I read it all. On video, you'll see the tweets. Visit here: https://youtu.be/AEA3evGX5ew
