Hello you beautiful people!

It was one year ago that the Reddit Apocalypse™ occurred. On June 9th 2023 gloomchen and AKittyCat (two of SQ’s long-time Reddit/Discord mods) set up a new home for us away from Spez and the rest of the flaming garbage dump. It wasn’t always smooth (given everything we had to deal with on kbin, which for the record doesn’t seem to have changed much if at all lol) but we’ve managed to flourish and keep growing bit by bit (and with a minimal amount of bans or deletions too!)

Thanks all for coming along for the ride. If I had a salmon jacket I’d do a fake retirement bit here but ya know~

Anyways, onto the normal festivities!

    Happy birthday! Love this little slice of the IWC, especially how non-tribalistic it is.

    Thanks everyone for making this a nice place to be.

      the best part about this is having zero ratings discussions. :)

        That shit is honestly cancerous, popularity is by far the worst metric for anything remotely approaching quality, and nielsen ratings are not even good proxies for that.

          like probably 90% of the people watching wrestling probably don’t even watch tradition tv anyway

            It’s such a nonsensical point too, some of the best wrestling I’ve seen is in Stardom and TJPW, which have crowds in the thousands and no tv deals in the US. If ratings meant anything other than “old people watch this” there would be a very different breakdown there.
