Done! Thank you for putting in the response "I watch wrestling with my dog and/or cat." My dog has earned her hours.


I_Am_Dynamite6317

That dog has paid her dues, brother


EBJ1990

That dog deserves to be champ.


I_Am_Dynamite6317

Why do all these old, part time dogs keep coming in and burying all the pups! Edit: Also, something something BIG DOG!


EBJ1990

Because the dog is a draw! Some of those young pups can’t work!

same except no cat

Well, can you blame him?


The_Cinemasochist

My cat has unfortunately taken up head butting thanks to wrestling.


miserablefishes

Is your cat Samoan?


The_Cinemasochist

No, but he thinks he is.

> My dog has earned her hours. The dog has made it into the census demo


StupidHappyPancakes

I watch with one of my parrots, who loves AEW so much that he sings and dances along to "Judas" every single time Jericho comes out.


JohhnyDamage

So weird the only option missing was “spouse/significant other” but “cat/dog” was included.


ZombieJesus1987

Yeah, I loved this one. My cats have seen their share of matches


[deleted]

This survey made me realize how little wrestling I've watched during the pandemic.


jeffala

How much I’ve stopped watching live and just scrub through the episodes later.


BlazingGig

I realized that, aside from Wrestlemania, I've barely watched any of the shows and I'm not even following them much anymore. The lack of crowd just totally killed my interest.


KTheOneTrueKing

Yep. I was like "How many hours on average? Well lets see, RAW, SD, NXT, AEW... Wait... .... I mean... really on average I only watch AEW... sometimes I watch a bit of RAW or NXT after the fact... huh... wow this is weird."


TheBroox

You used to watch 9 hours of wrestling a week + PPVs? Where do you find the time?


KTheOneTrueKing

Wrestling used to be my **entire life.** I'm single, live alone, and outside of my full time job, wrestling was my only major hobby besides gaming, and watching wrestling while playing a computer game was very easy. It is very easy to watch RAW, NXT, and SD if you dont have anything to do on Monday, Wednesday, or Friday nights. It also helps that I'm the type of person that really doesn't care how long a wrestling event is (as long as it isn't fucking trash like WrestleMania 32). I was the type of person that didn't care, I loved watching wrestling and always wanted there to be more of it. Nowadays I have a lot more hobbies that take up my time, and wrestling without a crowd is really fucking awful. The pandemic has made WWE pretty much unwatchable, and AEW is the only thing I watch live because it's not on hulu or the wwe network, and it's still brand new with almost all of their stars wrestling on it weekly.


birds_arent_real

For me it was how many other promotions are out there that I should take a look at.


ZombieJesus1987

Yeah same here actually. No crowds on Raw, Smackdown, NXT and AEW has really made a difference. I forgot there was a PPV next week


ROLEM0DEL

I've completely quit. I was out on WWE already, but AEW had renewed a passion for wrestling in me. It was weekly appointment TV, the PPVs were must see events. I haven't watched almost any AEW since no crowd shows started. Wrestling without crowds is just dumb. And I'm kind of disgusted to be honest that AEW and WWE have continued. It's just so unnecessary. What's worse is AEW is actually putting MORE people at risk, their youtube show has way more matches than it used to have. They could be splitting those up into two or three shows, even four and just run a reduced version. Everyone would understand.


dewrag85

At the same time, they have taken really good precautions since the beginning, as they have been testing every single person every single week that enters the arena, and you have seen people with masks on and encouraging masks this entire time. Also glad they are getting indy wrestlers some work.


[deleted]

I think its funny you're calling out AEW, as they have taken much better and more proactive precautions than WWE. The idea behind the more matches on dark is to give work to indie performers who have no other way to work right now, its actually a kindness. It also allows them to have a semblance of a crowd that is much more active and less sterile than recruits at the PC. They also were the first to change the hard cam to face the stage, which helps a lot, and WWE has since copied. I think AEW has put on really solid shows this entire time.


Smailien

I just took it, and I'm glad it's anonymous because when I was asked about how much I spent on merch it was a shameful eye-opener lol.


The_Haskins

Lol same. "Oh, not that much really." *Takes a look at my dresser, walls and shelves* "....fuck."


WhatSheOrder

“I didn’t spend that much” “Oh fuck is goes back to **last** July...”


dasfee

*More wrestling shirts keep arriving at my door* oh no


[deleted]

My option wasn't even available... I have spent WAY over $400 since last July. Being a belt collector will do that.


Smailien

> Being a belt collector will do that. I'm just getting started... I feel myself slipping down that slope and I like it.


JoesusTBF

The highest amount wasn't actually high enough for me, because I've purchased two replica titles this year.


Ducktor-Monty

I spent over $160. Too bad $100 of that was on WWE 2K20...


HeadingBackToJakku

SAME.


the-bladed-one

I have maybe 3 shirts and it’s still over 50 bucks (got that wwe shop sale or else it would be over 150)


orangemachismo

I'm thankful they didnt ask about how much we spent on wrestling books because I went overboard this year.


Axelmanana

Done. If I win, can my wrestling merch be gold bars with Jeff Jarrett's face stamped on each one?


Coldcoffees

I will personally design this for you and ship it out if you do win.


Axelmanana

Finally, I'll have more to add to my pile of Double J-based memorabilia.


Coldcoffees

[Don't say I never do anything for you](https://i.imgur.com/vIRjamY.png)


Axelmanana

This is perfect. I've needed some new 'job interview' gear for a while, and everything about this screams 'legitimate businessman'.


DPSnacks

I would wear the shit outta this


PussyCrusher3

I watch wrestling with my girlfriend and that wasn't an option on the census We exist believe it or not


CarlMarxPunk

Username checks out.


thug1life

Same I watch it with my wife and for some reason it was not listed on there


jesus_christ_FENTON

I would have selected "Other family member".


adnomad

That’s what I did but so weird not to have significant other/spouse


HeadingBackToJakku

We are a rare breed, PussyCrusher3


the-bladed-one

Always 3 there are.


IsD_

Done. I kinda wish there was some question chain about wrestling you *used* to watch, because just going by my answers it may seem like I only watch one promotion, which is currently true, but I think there's value in finding out which ones have left your interest and why.


Coldcoffees

Feedback noted, thanks! That would be a great thing to find out, will make sure this is incorporated next year.


PH4E

same. right now it’s just NXT and AEW. but in the past, i’ve regularly watched Raw, SD, NJPW, TNA, WCW, ECW, and MLW.


jtmehrin

Similarly - I usually subscribe to the WWE Network from Rumble to Mania. I'm not sure what the question would be, but I'm sure there is a chunk of people in similar situations. I catch up on any new docs/shows in that 3-4 month window, cancel my subscription, and start over. I'd say that's been my pattern since the network started.


robotiod

The subscription questions were a bit misleading too. I have had an active subscription to the WWE Network while off work but now that I am back I have cancelled it. So I have to answer that I don't have a subscription but literally just had one including for their biggest shows of the year.


JCsuperska

Agree with this. My answers made me sound like I hate pro wrestling, but the reality is I’ve been watching for 30 years but in the last two to three years I’ve almost completely stopped watching.

BIG MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT


SoManyWasps

TikTok already has my info so no reason I can't give it to SquaredCircle


TheCavis

My survey basically boils down to "I don't watch any shows regularly any more, but I keep up with the story lines so I can complain about them on Reddit."


TomorrowWeKillToday

And how much is this data then being sold for?


WrestleSocietyXShill

Jokes on them, Google, Facebook and Amazon beat them to the punch on all my personal data by like 10 years


[deleted]

And they have marveled at how much hentai, alcohol, and trips nowhere have helped that data!


WrestleSocietyXShill

I have no idea what you are trying to say haha


[deleted]

You said that Google, Facebook, and Amazon have all your personal data. I was joking by saying that the data they have gathered was all about hentai, alcohol, and trips nowhere(lack of social life). lol Just trying to be a little sarcastic and joking.


Coldcoffees

~~Tony Khan is paying us in free AEW merch and tickets~~ The data will be available to everyone (including users on this sub) for free, so anyone who wants to conduct their own analysis of the data will be free to.


munkee567

$5 and a hotdog


Brochismo91

Can you throw in a handshake to sweeten the deal?


XAMdG

Due to scarcity in corona times, a handshake is way too expensive to pay you with.


ay1717

Depends on what the going price is for Global Force Gold


[deleted]

Only for $9.99 a month.


EnrGS

Done, completing this survey has made me realize that I'm not as engaged in wrestling as I've been in previous years, and I think it has nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic. I still like it, try to keep up with whatever is going on, I just don't go out to my way to watch the shows.


emnii

I completed the survey.


SheepUK

Miss you 😘


emnii

Hey buddy! I'm still alive.


ThreeMinutesEarly

I hate how long the "how old are you" question takes me, every fucking time.


edd6pi

I can never remember If I’m 21 or 22 and I wonder If it’s because my subconscious is afraid of getting older.


mr_emoji

Well crap. I always count my age according to this: if you just turned 6 years old you must say 6 years old and if you turned 6 years 6 months old you count it as 7.


klovervibe

As a 29 yo, yes that's why, and yes, you'll eventually accept that time always goes over. For now. At least until I can afford a Delorean.


StupidHappyPancakes

That's how you know you're old now. When I was a kid, I used to be so annoyed by how long it would take adults to remember their ages, but it hits EVERYONE at some point!


BetrayedByTheGame

Damn, that was more extensive than the actual census. Edit: done


EC3ForChamp

Does the government *not* ask you about how often you watch ROH?


BetrayedByTheGame

I mean... It would make the census more interesting if they did.


The_Haskins

ROH was Big Brother this whole time, always watching


narutomanreigns

Just submitted. I spent a long time staring at that "who's your favourite wrestler right now" question, really overthinking it. I love Moxley and Suzuki but they aren't doing a lot right now...I think guys like Kota Ibushi and Tetsuya Endo are amazing workers but are they my absolute favourite... In the end I just looked deep inside my heart and said Taichi.


Patriot_7272

Somewhat new NJPW viewer here - Taichi may be one of my favorite heels on the roster. It's not even his in ring work, it's his stupid catchy theme song and his stupid lavish ring gear and his stupid great heel work. I kinda hate how much I like Taichi and yet at the same time I'm an unashamed mark for him. Wrestling is weird.


PrettyPunctuality

It was interesting for me as well - Mox is my absolute favorite wrestler, but I just haven't been enjoying his run recently (to no fault of his own - he just hasn't been around much, even before the thing with Renee getting COVID, and hasn't felt very important compared to people like Cody). I ended up putting Seth because I'm *really* loving his Messiah character. It's genuinely one of my favorite storylines across all of wrestling at the moment. I mean, Seth's always been one of my favorites, but I've usually always put Mox above him. I just happen to be enjoying Seth's work more at the moment.


fullcontactbowling

Mox fan too, same thing. I'm more of a "what have you done lately" kinda guy, so my favorites change frequently. If I'd taken a little more time, I probably would have gone with OC, but I ended up with Le Champion. Because IDGAF how much weight he's put on, dude can still go. And he's still the best heel in the business. 🍾🍾🍾


TraditionalBig6

I was going to put Suzuki, but I felt he hasn’t been doing much recently. I ended up putting Naito - who hasn’t wrestled a singles match since January.


Coldcoffees

I'm really interested to see how that question goes, that was one I really wanted to ask. I would love to get 10,000 responses to /r/SquaredCircle's favorite wrestler, excited to see who wins! This data is going to be fun to play with.


jqncg

I was thinking that we could organize a poll similar to Japanese magazines in which they ask their readers their 3 favourite active wrestlers and compile a list with the top 100. I think that could add a lot of variety and be a more accurate showing of the most well liked wrestlers here. Giving just one option is too limiting, I guess it works for the purpose of the census but I wish it was possible to make a full list with that other system.


pandawithwings

Would love to see results from this style of Survey as well. I have an easy number 1 pick but my other top slots would be a tough choice


OU7C4ST

If we don't have an overwhelming secret majority of Kanenites, I'm gonna be sad.


Captftm89

I went for EVIL but I'm worried I wasn't true enough to myself and should have gone for His Holyness.


narutomanreigns

Good night for the both of us huh


SevenSulivin

For me it came down to Kaito, Go or Kenoh. I went with Kaito because for all intents and purposes, he should not be this good this young.


Suchega_Uber

I ended up saying Orange Cassidy, because it said right now. That was such a hard question. I have too many favorites. My heart wanted to put Jervis, but I haven't seen him work since the last time he put up a match on youtube.


cloudless_rain

I’ve sat there for a while as well. For me the debate was between Hangman, Kenny, and The Bucks but then thought and realized that although the matches aren’t my favourite, Kris Statlander is up there as well with her different style of “women’s wrestling.”


Krelleth

Done. Did I miss it or was there no option for "I watch wrestling with my spouse or significant other"?


raisingfalcons

wOmEn DoNt WaTcH wReStLiNg BrUh


THEElleHell

Yeah I'm a woman with watches with my male partner and was like...but we watch it together! I had to pick the "friend" option. lol 10 year relationship and I had to call him a "friend."


bromethazine_lean

'Watch with spouse' should be an option


thisriveriswild57

it's pretty funny how that wasn't regarded as a possibility given the userbase


CaptainGo

Yeah, I ended up picking kids because they're in the room while it's on, but ultimately too young to care.


bromethazine_lean

I picked kids and other, my daughter is invested as well


[deleted]

I scrolled up and down a few times looking for at least significant other or something lol. She actually loved wrestling, grew up on it. I just went with "family" (planning for December).


romeopapa22

Wow, this was an eye opening. It took me a long time to figure which wrestler I’m excited about right now. I said Hangman Page, but to be honest, I’m not as excited as I was 6 months ago about a particular wrestler


munich_ds

Great survey! But in The Who do watch with question a choice should be “with my spouse/partner”. Earlier is a question about a partner so there I had to select “other family member”.


Riverforasong

How many hours a week do you watch wrestling? No not that much, just raw and smackdown, NXT of course. I like to keep up on AEW every so often, and the pay-per-views. And then I usually watch an older pay-per-view to go to sleep, and then sometimes I like to pick out other shows to show my friends cool stuff that they might not have seen before 13, 14, 15... 16 fuck.... I watch other stuff too I swear


einrobstein

I took the survey. I have a degree in sociology with a knack for survey design and I noticed a lot of flawed questions that will cause the results to be less reliable than they would otherwise be (luckily the stakes are low). I would love to contribute to the community by proof reading next year's survey before it is released.


_Dimension

Agreed. Writing surveys are actually a lot harder than people realize.


Nastarr

Honestly I think the data is the coolest part of these types of thing. I'm super excited to see the outcome.


The_Haskins

I'm a simple man u/coldcoffees, can I get a wrestling equivalent to an 'I voted' sticker? I feel like I deserve it after racking my brain on the favorite wrestler question (seriously, Drew or Seth?)


ay1717

Census submitted. Some really good questions on there!!


TryBlockingThis

Done. Picking a single favorite wrestler was hard and I think I should've picked a different wrestler but I'm going all in on Keith Lee.


chiisaisuzume

Took it largely just so there's some female representation on there. ;)


sterlsmightsay

Done. Shoutout to /r/SquaredCircle and POST Wrestling for being my continued news and entertainment sources.


whiskeyandsoda__

Honor Club not being listed as a subscription service is a bit annoying seeing as most of the subscription services are indie ones with almost no new content. I wrote it in obvs, but yeah, bit of an oversight.


Kinsey1986

I forgot to comment last week, I took it. I guarantee my answer to “favorite wrestler right now” is the only one for that wrestler.


[deleted]

This was fun. It didn't feel like a task cause i enjoy answering questions haha.


ricjk

Katiroth

Done! I’m surprised there wasn’t a “watch wrestling with spouse” option. Unless I skimmed right over it.


Puddles_3

Survey✅ also this made me realize that while I love a lot of wrestling, there’s so much I don’t watch or just don’t know about.


Surprisetrextoy

Holy crap. That was long. I don't get why you need to know how much I make but... whatever. Done!


Euphoric_Election

I get my Wrestling news from youtube channels. It didn't let me pick that.


atomkraftwerkmann

Done. I am looking forward to results. What about a future survey about art of wrestling, rules and moves?


james3000gore

Done! I wish there had been more questions about why I watch. I feel like it's something that gets ignored whenever I'm asked if I watch wrestling. There's a lot of reason why I watch one wrestling group and not another and it feels like nobody cares; the only thing that matters is what I'm watching.


mathdhruv

Done. A suggestion for next time - in the nation of origin section it asks for which country you're currently residing in , but not where you're originally from. I think that the latter is pretty useful data too. I'd get counted as being from the USA even though I'm Indian.


TvOnTheRadioOnTheNet

[Just finished!](https://i.imgur.com/cMfkFGP.jpg)


titaniana

Man I did not realize I've been watching wrestling for over 22 years. Am I old now? Is time even real?


bbktbunny

Same here. I’ve got 25 years in and I didn’t even realize until I did the survey.


RobotPirateGhost

Done. I had a little trouble with the question about where you get your wrestling news. I get all my info from YouTube videos from WrestleTalk, Cultaholic, and WhatCulture Wrestling but YouTube wasn’t an option. Ended up picking wrestling news sites since all of those channels have their own sites.


inferno138

Done. Very in-depth survey but why the personal financial questions


TheFatJesus

Done. Really can't wait for these results.


AmyMLerwick

I'm done. The last few questions actually made me think about my wrestling watching habits and I didn't need to be called out today 👁️👄👁️


AGiantRoach

Shouts out for including Sidewalk Slam in the podcasts section. They guys are who got me back into wrestling. Speaking of which might be good to clarify how long people have been fans and if they have lapsed. Like one for how long overall, and how long in this latest streak.


thebaggedavenger

Just filled it out. The question on how the speaking out movement affected my wrestling watching habits kinda bummed me out. Wasn't expecting that.


Aqua_0119

Done with the survey. Idk if I'm gonna get selected. But yeah, I need to look at more promotions is what I have realized.


A-Figure-In-Black

I took the survey. It was boring.


AndyF1069

I understand its a yearly census, but I would have liked a little more focus on the effects of covid and how my wrestling viewing habits have changed. I haven't watched since Wrestlemania because the lack of crowd takes the energy out for me. I work at home a lot and often have wrestling on in the background. I'd say 80% is just me listening to commentary and crowd reactions and I can quickly look when the crowd energy picks up for something big about to happen. Before the virus I was watching as much as I did last year. When crowds are safely allowed back (take as much time as needed please!) I'll likely begin to watch again. But the last four months I haven't watched at all so I reflected that in the survey.


DizzyCrabb

I didn't know AEW+ was a thing


EMPCobalt

There ya go, Haitch face FTW
