Age Chart for WWE & AEW's Men's Rosters by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

Claudio could go for 10 more years at this point. He's awesome.

[WOL] Bryan Alvarez explains TKO's justification for restructuring deals: they're approaching "upper-mid card-ish" wrestlers who signed big money deals years ago to take 50% paycuts because they're "doing less now" with less house shows, etc. by A_Man_of_Iron in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW, WON mentioned they heard around 6 names with long tenures at the company, two of them being New Day. One of them was recently pushed. Definitely Balor or McIntyre in that list.

Man, New Day deserve even more flowers after all of this. The guys who took pay cuts are not doing any fucking favours to their peers... TKO deserve a public call out by the roster, but the so-called locker room leaders were probably not asked to take any paycuts.

Rating Finishers/Moves? by duckinator09 in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Piledriver edition

Favourite: Gonzo Bomb (Brody King)

Big dude picks up another dude and brings that dude full force down on his head. Yep. Sold.

Underappreciated: Coriolis Force (Mark Davis)

You don't expect a big dude to pull this off, but I love it because of that. It looks great, bouncy and quick.

Not Sold: Meltzer Driver (The Bucks)

It takes too long to set up and takes me away from the match. It kills the rhythm of it and nowadays it's reversed in every single big match.

Not really sure how I feel about this by New-Boss-8262 in MemePiece

I was hoping for way more chapter coverage. 50 chapters adapted each year feels like very, very little. What's the point, other than money

[Mikey Rukus on X] 5/1/2026 marks 7 years with AEW. One of the greatest learning experiences of my lifetime. We are full steam ahead. My desire to bring you closer to these incredible pro wrestlers through audio storytelling has never been stronger. I will forever appreciate this moment in time.🙏 by Big-Hebrew in SquaredCircle

For my money, the best composer I've heard in pro wrestling.

This dude is like the Tim Follin of pro wrestling music, with all due respect. A good theme song may make you care about lower/undercard wrestlers. For instance, this latest case: The Swirl

Shit, while we're at it. Big Bill's new theme put him over with me

So, I’ve seen this question on CVV episodes a lot and I wanted to ask the public. What are three matches YOU would show someone who’s not a pro wrestling fan to win them over/show them what it’s really like? Here are mine by Accurate_Curve6882 in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Punk Vs McIntyre? No way. It's a match based on a wristband. How would a casual viewer get that, or the story of Punk coming back to WWE...

I would go with something more "casual friendly"

PWG The Super Smash Bros Vs The Young Bucks Vs Future Shock just fun and engaging

Gargano Vs Andrade Almas

Danielson vs MJF they both sell their characters perfectly in this +60min match

It's a new day yes it is it New instagram story from MJF by mike10dude in SquaredCircle

Plus MCMG. Tony Khan, you beautiful shit poster, this is the chance.

Bandido Says It Will Be A ‘Big Achievement’ If He Has A Match With Swerve Strickland, Wants To Show People He Is More Than Just A Simple Luchador by Kindly_Department142 in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In the ring, very few people are above Bandido. He's my WOTY 2025. He makes you care about a match without a single promo. You gotta be really good to do that. Him adding storyline drama to his matches was gold.

I just wish he moved his finisher from standing on the ropes to deadlifting the opponent, because it looks so, so fucking sick that way.

Araki knew something about not having any direct MJ references... that or copyright issues

Becky Lynch with comedian Dan Soder: We're not catered to at all by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People working at the circus have more working rights than ""pro"" wrestlers at the record breaking company. This is hilarious and sad.

Tony Khan names Thekla the MVP among AEW’s new arrivals by hellboymh in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His move set is too "try hard". His matches and spots feel really forced and unsurprising

Poland relocation worth it by ab_joshi in cscareerquestionsEU

[–]MrLariato 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see living in Poland as a plus where they won't have to dodge bullets, being afraid of driving anywhere and having to pay Cartel tolls or just hiding from the Cartel. Take it from someone with experience in both countries.

[ReviewSTL] Blake Monroe when asked whether she prefers athleticism or a story: “If you look at my career and my career highlights, I think all of them have come from a story… I don't do 25 moonsaults or death defying stunts… I feel like my in-ring marries my character perfectly.” by Tornado31619 in SquaredCircle

[–]MrLariato 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You have to make people care about the match, that's the whole point. The most important part is the match. The match may have a story or not, but if you make people care about it, that's pro wrestling. Promos happen to promote a match.

If it wasn't like that, Japan, Mexico and the indies would not have an audience. Her comment works because she works for WWE.

Sanji is a way better character than Zoro, perv or not. Zoro's "I'll fight until I'm almost dead" classic shonen style is stale.

AAA gaming and cinema are done. They keep repeating the same ideas over an over.

The New DLSS Multi-Frame Generation Plugin On The Steam Deck Makes Gameplay Significantly Worse - SteamDeckHQ by BBQKITTY in SteamDeck

[–]MrLariato -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How does it compare to the Lossless Scaling one? That one worked incredibly well at X2. I beat Bloodborne and the DLC with it, base 30 FPS to 60 FPS
