This is where it starts.
This is CrossRoads Interviews and Editorials, a new chapter under the umbrella of The Squared Circle Podcast. We’re only pivoting a bit — welcome to the next journey.

These three voice notes were recorded before I invited anyone into The Chat Community Discord.
31 minutes. Raw, unscripted, and real.

Topics: burnout, creative pivots, wrestling without the noise, and why this Discord had to be built with structure.

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows!

Hey friends,
Dos Evil and I break down the full match card for MLW’s Summer of the Beasts!
We were both there live — I was working the event, and Dos was soaking it all in as a fan. This episode captures everything we saw, felt, and questioned.

Main takeaway?
MJF crashed MLW and shocked the entire wrestling world.

Yeah. That happened.

His surprise appearance is already up on MLW’s and the Squared Circle Podcast YouTube Shorts, but we were in the building when it went down — and it was electric.

But we’re not just here to mark out.
Both of us raised real concerns about what this move means — especially if MJF is bringing his masked crusade storyline over from AEW.

• AEW tends to ruin everything it touches. Harsh? Maybe. But we said what we said.

• MLW’s on a hot streak right now, and honestly, an AEW x MLW partnership could do more harm than good.

That said...I’ll give MJF a pass…for now

I’m willing to see where it goes.
