Welcome to Squared Circle History!

About the Author

Ian T Mello is a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, music, and Batman. His love for wrestling runs deep—ECW remains his all-time favorite promotion, but he’s a devoted fan of the sport in all its forms. Having attended more live events than he can count, he channels that passion into Squared Circle History, the YouTube channel he launched in 2019. There, he writes, edits, and produces retrospective videos that chronicle entire years in the history of wrestling promotions. This book marks his debut as an author.

Away from the squared circle, Ian’s creative life is just as rich. He holds a BFA in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University and is skilled in the Adobe suite, giving him the tools to craft stories both on the page and on the screen. A lifelong lover of music, his all-time favorite bands include Clutch, Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Thin Lizzy, and Creedence Clearwater Revival, among many others. His favorite television show is Seinfeld.

A lover of great stories across all mediums, his favorite film is The Big Lebowski. True to the spirit of that movie’s most famous line, he abides.

Away from writing and production, he enjoys traveling with his longtime girlfriend, Sara, playing games with his siblings, and spending time with animals—especially dogs, turtles, and cats.
