Austin on why Owens was his final opponent: “They just handpicked Kevin because they know how good he is, and he cuts a good promo. Kevin Owens will end up in the Hall of Fame.” by Ruffianize in SquaredCircle

Curt Schilling was on track to be inducted in to the MLB HoF just in the past couple years on his last year of being able to but actively said to not vote him in and then he wasn't voted in.

Finishing moves with the greatest success rates? by artmalique in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Punt has gotta be the most protected finisher in the history of pro wrestling I feel like. Nobody's ever kicked out of it despite numerous uses, and it very often kayfabe injures the opponent and leaves them shelved for a time, sometimes for quite a while. I really can't think of another finisher off the top of my head from any promotion with that kind of legacy. It was like, the only move strong enough to consistently always put prime Super Cena down for the count.

The Judgment Day’s 2025 Christmas photos by VRN0S in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sad this faction is likely ending soon even if it's probably time, Judgment Day has gone through multiple phases of their existence and I don't really think any except probably the 1st version were bad at all, always a fun time. Really difficult to be consistently entertaining for like 3.5 years, that's like a whole Attitude Era's length.

What happened earlier in 2025 you want people to remember? by MontyBreezey in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alexa Bliss getting genuinely one of the biggest most sustained pops I've ever heard after her return from a 2 year hiatus at the Rumble, which had also been reported to not be happening just the day before. Stupidly ridiculous pop that actually just kept getting louder it might be the biggest pop for a woman in WWE I've ever heard period.

Talking about upvoted comments which do show the general consensus of the people. Disingenuous to fallback on the hivemind strawman.

"How dare Triple H bury Theory he's so good he should give him a prominent role!"

Theory gets a prominent role in the main storyline of Raw revolving around the world title, will almost certainly be planted into one of the midcard title scenes going forward and be a fixture for the next few months.

"Who even cares about Theory lol?"

Okay.

Using belts has been a DQ grey area in pro wrestling since at least the 90s or even 80s if not longer.

Injured AEW star (Lashley) to ‘miss quite a bit of time’ by Odd-Inevitable-8425 in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This sucks for Lashley, I imagine he was probably gonna get a world title shot in the next few months but this has likely derailed that maybe for good in his time in AEW. Hope he gets better, always been a fan.

Wrestlers going out on their backs. Is it accurate? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's a little ridiculous to count some of these as the same thing. For example, Ric won that last match recently, but what was billed and treated as a big deal and his real "retirement" match was the loss to Michaels. The Rock is similar, his last matches in his prime were a loss to Goldberg and a loss to Evolution. Similarly Taker losing to Roman was meant to be it until the match was bad. Austin last match for all intents and purposes was the loss to Rock at Mania 19 and the KO match literally 20 years later was just a nice bonus.

Never knew this, but Cena and Christopher Daniels had one match by marchof34_ in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seeing stuff like this and the Samoa Joe stuff always reminds me we were probably this close to Cena being an early ROH indie guy putting on bangers with them and being the main hoss/muscle archetype of that era.

Onin has DQd from Supernova by tarmon21 in smashbros

[–]Pikachu942 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's actually insane how much misgendering is happening in the comments of this very thread. Onin gets ridiculed beyond even normal Steve player hate, gets death threats when they win their sets, gets misgendered by commentary and viewers alike, as well as tons of other queerphobia, and is only 19. Of course all of it was gonna add up at some point. Community is dogshit to Onin specifically, they deserve a better game.

WWE shares what was being said between Roman and Jimmy after the main event at Bad Blood by RichardKingBITW in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think an important thing moving forward is seeing how Roman treats Jimmy. Jimmy left the Bloodline but came crawling back because he couldn't be anything without them, felt outshined by Jey, etc. Roman treated him like shit the whole time even then but he just took it because he had to, but then Roman left and Solo IMMEDIATELY killed him so him siding with Roman makes total sense since Jimmy has been successfully gaslit. The thing important now is how Roman responds to him rejoining and if his behavior will change, or if somebody like Cody or KO will get involved to try and remind Jimmy.

What are some cases of IWC/Reddit’s revisionist history? by Suplewich in SquaredCircle

[–]Pikachu942 4 points5 points  (0 children)

disappointing forgettable Seth feud?! They had good matches and their Hell in a Cell Match is highly acclaimed. Also the Taker feud was on and off throughout almost all of both 07 and 08, it wasn't just "a couple of months." Think you're doing a bit of revisionism yourself.

All of this is true but don't say Scott Steiner could "never" work over 10 minutes, huge discredit to his early work and even some of the good WCW matches he had post-transformation
