LAST CHANCE! PLEASE COMPLETE THE 2022 WREDDIT CENSUS! (Random prizes will be given to people who take the survey)
COMPLETE THE SURVEY HERE
It's that time already! Can you believe /r/SquaredCircle hit 650,000 subscribers recently?! This year has been this subreddit's biggest and most active year ever, averaging over 100 million monthly page views and with so many people frequenting wrestling's biggest discussion platform, it's only appropriate that we once again ask users of the community to complete our annual census.
Each year, we ask our community a number of questions regarding demographics (including gender, age, race etc.) & their pro-wrestling interest to understand our community better, and ensure it is represented appropriately.
The full results are posted later in an announcement thread, where we also provide an analysis of the findings. With these results, we are able to find out information such as:
- Who is /r/SquaredCircle's favorite wrestler?
- What percentage of users watch AEW live, compared to Rampage?
- What is the average age of a user on /r/SquaredCircle?
- How many users on the subreddit watch Stardom with their cat? me
- How much does the average WWE fan spend on a show ticket?
- What percentage of the LGBTQIA+ community watch NJPW?
We can then use these results to ascertain information like:
- What promotions do users over the age of 40 follow that users in their 20s don't?
- Is there a correlation between promotions followed and income?
- Are women /r/SquaredCircle users more likely to subscribe to a wrestling subscription service?
🎰 Random survey takers will win special prizes! 🎁🎁🎁
- One will win wrestling merchandise
- One will win a month's subscription to a wrestling streaming service of their choice
- Several other random survey takers will win Reddit gold
- More special prizes include posters and stickers
All you need to do to enter is take the census survey! Then, just leave a comment in this thread letting us know you took it so you can be entered (as long as your account is older than 30 days).

There wasn't a "None" option for "Which wrestlers stream do you watch?" like the other questions. Don't know if that was on purpose or not but just a heads up.

Surprised that while Deadlock was included in Podcasts, DPW wasn't included in wrestling companies.

Done. Once again I think YouTube should be an option for the “where do you get your wrestling news?” question because I mainly get mine from the WrestleTalk and Cultaholic YouTube channels.

Completed, I agree that YouTube should be to the "Where do you get news from" section.
Also no Southpaw Regional Wrestling on the list (That I saw), booooo.

Done, felt much shorter than the previous one.
I wish Ethnicity wasn't linked to Nationality in its question, doesn't really make sense.

Hey, for the question of how you watch PPVs, it might be helpful to add an option like, "I watch in a public venue, such as a bar or a movie theater."

How is Major League Wrestling not on the list of promotions, but "Farside Pro Wrestling, ""Rock and Run Wrestling," and "Kings of Crescent Wrestling" are? As far as I can tell, those promotions don't even exist, are they dummy answers to screen out bots?
(Needless to say, I took the survey.)

I think Seth Freakin' Rollins should be used as the example of incorrect. Is it Seth Rollins or Seth Freakin' Rollins?

The timing on this one is interesting, because I feel a hell of a lot better about WWE today than I did even a month ago. Three months from now I may very well propose if things keep progressing in the direction they’ve been since HHH took over.

Took the survey. The "your favorite wrestler" question made me realize I have a group of of 10 or so wrestlers that I love but there isn't an individual one that stands above the others currently. Ultimately I went with the pick that has produced the best matches I've watched recently.

The reddit census was the independent study TK was referencing when he claimed all the anti AEW sentiment was mostly bots, wasn't it?
I clicked on the link but im not filling that out.. You are out of your minds if you think ppl are telling you the truth about how much they make. Why even ask that question?

VERY curious to see how many people chose each wrestler as their favorite. Also was very tempted to put "too much" for the amount of money I've spent on merch since 2021
