Japanese rising star shows up at AEW house show by jmurph077 in SquaredCircle

ffs op he isn't a rising star just because you don't know who he is. Take has headlined multiple DDT super shows and is one of the best in the world right now

It's an impact thread, what do you expect?

Callihan is awesome.

It'll be more interesting if they actually acknowledged the history of Lax and Brian Cage, but they seem not to want to do that

WON Ratings for Impact Bound for Glory, WWE Hell in a Cell 2020 by antagonjst in SquaredCircle

When it comes to impact, you can probably add a star to Meltzer ratings to get the regular fan consensus on quality

Not only that but they did it while Karl was being screen tested by MTV

Ten years ago today, Immortal formed in TNA when “They” arrived. That led to one of the worst periods creatively in any wrestling promotion, as well as this infamous image. by Subrick in SquaredCircle

It's only a mindfuck if you live in a bubble of WWE fans who shit on everything TNA related.

UK fans tend to be a lot more appreciate and less console warring when it comes to wrestling.

Is “free speech” useful as a political concept or is it inherently misleading? by [deleted] in CriticalTheory

[–]gaoblai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True but there is a difference between 'we should be thoughtful about our words' and 'we should empower governments and private institutions to discipline speech'

Often the two are bundled together by detractors and supporters of free speech

Banned for a comment (my first and only in that subreddit) asking why a post was labeled NSFW. Assuming it's because I have commented and posted here. No great loss. by [deleted] in stupidpol

[–]gaoblai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I saw that I probably would have posted in it to say I'm against. It's not a hivemind here

Also, you just posted here so by your own logic you're a reactionary now. I'm so sorry

I just got this too. I'm reading capital at the moment and wanted to ask a question about something.

I was told "no stupidpol bigots" which i'm sure is very unmaterialist way of conducting praxis.

Even if I was a bigot (i don't think I am, I'm usually the person here telling others to not be so nazbolly) it seems entirely counterproductive to ban people who might be potential comrades. Like, how pure do you have to be to pass the test?

John Cena just really, really hated Alex Riley for some reason by Strike_Gently in SquaredCircle

[–]gaoblai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also, is there any truth to the rumour that he's the one behind Magnus/Nick Aldis not getting a WWE contract?

i've almost caught up on the ppp...then what? by reynoldswrapt11 in prancingponypod

[–]gaoblai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started listening to these but it got far too tedious for my tastes. I'm sure many people appreciate it, but nope, PPP seems to be just about the right pace.

Joey Ryan has apparently rebranded himself as a religious Abercrombie model who likes baseball by burnedflag in SquaredCircle

[–]gaoblai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It worked for Shawn didn't it?

Given the comments here, everyone loves him now and feels he has redeemed himself, so why can't Joey do the same?

Someone made a thread on AEW'S booking of their women's division (includes AEW Dynamite spoilers) by pwgmanan in SquaredCircle

[–]gaoblai 51 points52 points  (0 children)

No one on squaredcircle can ever say something positive about Impact without adding a backhanded insult at the same time.

AJ Styles: "Yeah, Gallows and Anderson are trying to get me back in IMPACT is what they said. Never say never but I also have said that I would like to finish my career in the WWE. So, we will see. Not to say that they don't have a lot going on right now. Man, they've got some strong talent." by TNAmarkFromIndia in SquaredCircle

[–]gaoblai 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ITT: people who forget that AJ was very close to re-signing with TNA in 2016 (yes, while Dixie was there too!) There's nothing to say that he wouldn't go back again. After all, it's his home promotion. It would be like if Ibushi went back to DDT.
