We Need To Talk About The Elite
51:12 Share

Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! I am your host Marie Shadows, and today, I'm talking all about THE ELITE!

AEW Drama seems to be done, and Kenny Omega tells fans to move on from the All Out Brawl incident back in September. However, I have some questions left. 

Hey everyone,

I’m exhausted talking about The Elite and AEW. I’m being honest. And you might be thinking: Well, why do you cover it? Why do you talk about it?

Because I want All Elite Wrestling to improve. That statement might be difficult for some to believe. I know I’m blocked and/or muted by what feels like a large percentage of AEW fans, so not sure how far this will reach people.

Please listen to this with an open mind. An open perspective.

This is part one of an AEW talk about podcast. For the mini break I was, there were topics I wanted to discuss but held my tongue until I decided to create content again. I didn’t want to say my thoughts on Twitch because then what would be the point to say it again, you know. Even though I do that anyway.

In this episode I talk about The Elite. Listen, The Elite can still make me feel and that’s a good thing, however, I need them to grow up a little. There’s a time and place for pettiness — we all do some petty things to each other — but when it’s a constant pettiness that is blatant passive aggressive jabs, it tells me they are still children.

I talk about the interview that Kenny Omega did with Sports Illustrated. I go over his quotes because red flags are raising. He mentions how we should move on from the CM Punk / The Elite drama yet during the second match of their best of seven series with the Lucha Bros, played the crowd like a fiddle and took so many jabs — in directly — at CM Punk. I understand it was a Chicago crowd but damn. The icing on the cake was during the Being The Elite they added a choice of a song and then highlighted the “Fuck CM Punk” chants.

The Elite used to be good at telling stories. I think the only story I’m invested in is Kenny Omega vs Will Ospreay. I talk about that in depth on this podcast episode.

For the record and in writing: I have drawn my battle line in the sand and side with Will Ospreay in this Wrestle Kingdom 17 at The Tokyo Dome dream match. Allegiance is with Will Ospreay and The United Empire.

Please listen to it all and let me know what you thought about.
