I honestly preferred Dark/Elevation to Rampage.
SquaredCircle
This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).
Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:
- WrestleVotes
- RingSideNews
- Brad Shepard

Same. I always gave Rampage a lot more benefit of the doubt than some people do (there was a good fair chunk of time where the nonstop sentiment was "Nothing good ever happens on Rampage who cares?!" while 1 out of every 4 episodes was shit and the other 3 were great but no one cared to watch lol).
Dark and Elevation however...I mean they win just by pure numbers. You can fit a lot more matches for a lot more people into a longer 'show' than just filming an extra hour after Dynamite and having it on Youtube made it easier and more convenient.
Hopefully TK's acknowledgement the other day about Dark/Elevation and how much people want em back is a sign that its being worked on.
The same camp that would claim nothing good happens on Rampage would also complain about having to watch Rampage when a big match was announced. "Why isn't this on Dynamite?"
"I don't watch Rampage, nothing worthwhile ever happens on it, Tony needs to fix this!"
"WAIT WHY IS TONI STORM'S BIG COME BACK MATCH ON RAMPAGE AND NOT THE A SHOW!?!?!?!11!eleven"
Like my brothers of the squared circle Tony is trying to make the goddamned show worth watching like you all asked, shut the fuck up lmao
It felt like an afterthought show even before Collision became a thing, it was basically their Sunday Night Heat in that it did advance some stories but was mostly a can miss show for anything top of card.
It was inevitable. No way it was competing against smack down.
That was Rampage, baby! Clap clap clapclapclap!
