1:00It's not just one, it's 20 different podcasts. All level sports is one of them. In fact, just the other day, I spent time with the riders and producers of professional wrestling. That is a story, because we can all relate every generation. Where is it? All level sports on arrow.net, ARROE.net. Enjoy your exploration. Hey, it's me, that guy that's always asking questions. And the reason why is because the fun begins when you start doing the research. Imagine that. Like when it comes to professional wrestling, why is it called the squared circle? Plus, airline travel. It once featured wide open seating, any place, anytime. So what's changed here? My name is Arrow, I'm a daily rider, a silent wolf. That means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate.

2:00I happen to call it the daily mess, because it's a chronological walkthrough in everyday world. It is my morning writing. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw things to the side because we are convinced that we're going to remember it later on. Yeah, okay. When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal. But by doing the research, that picture actually becomes clearer. This is the daily mess. Pro wrestling has always called their center ring the squared circle. What does that even mean? Well, in the 1800s, wrestling matches actually took place inside a circle. They were drawn in the dirt or surrounded by the spectators. Because of that circle, those associated with the sport of wrestling coined the phrase the squared circle. In later years, it eventually evolved into a square, mainly because pro wrestlers and promoters

3:02took note of how the squared platform with ropes actually worked better. It was easier for crowds to see and much easier to create the stage. Although there was change, the name has still remained, the squared circle. But as a fan or innocent bystander, do you know the size of such a squared circle? It's 20 by 20 inside the ropes, compared to the original circle, which was four feet smaller. The greatest thing to come out of putting up the ropes and raising the plane field still lives in the infamous turnbuckles, which according to insiders in professional wrestling, that's where the greatest stories of professional wrestling still exist. Hey, coming up next, when did airplane travel move to a sign seating? What? What's, you mean we used to get to sit anywhere we wanted? Really. This episode sponsored by Marathon Sports.

Well, the idea for such a question arrived while watching an episode of Rod Surlings, the Twilight Zone, which premiered on CBS in 1959. It's very important to bring this up because it opened up my mind as a viewer to see how we once traveled around the world. And yes, it involved first com, first serve seating. Between the 1920s and early 1970s, a sign seating was not part of the daily flight plan. You bought a ticket and sat anywhere. My goodness, flights were smaller and less crowded.

6:03This meant the airlines didn't have to put focus on crowd control. It was after World War II that airline travel increased. Operational efficiency became important due to balance. It also opened up the door for faster seating. Now here's the shocker. Not all airlines, even today, have invested in the idea of a sign seating. Say it with me, Southwest Airlines. They still believe in open boarding, which they started in 1971. That's when you physically got your ticket at the airport and not online like we do it today. So much change. And yet, not really, not really, but I hope you enjoyed your flight. We'll see you again, right? I'll see you next time on the Daily Mass. This episode sponsored by Marathon Sports.
