This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!
Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.
Please ensure you have NSFW posts enabled or you may miss out on some threads. Bots are not used in this community.
Rules: (Click to expand)
1. Be Civil.
Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.
2. Keep content related to wrestling.
Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.
3. Spoilers.
Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.
4. Vague/Editorialized Title.
Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.
5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.
Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.
6. Banned Source(s).
Due not necessarily to the content of their reporting, but to their harassing and doxxing of users, the following news sources, journalists, and content creators are not permitted to be posted on SquaredCircle in any context - including direct links, articles, social media, and reports that cite only those sources:
- WrestleVotes
- RingSideNews
- Brad Shepard
- Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
- Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

I've read some papers that blame it on plastics, that increased plastic use in food packaging starting in the 70s leading to almost all foods by the 90s has led to the explosion of microplastics in all people, including fetuses in the womb, as well as pretty much every animal and waterway tested. Others blame it on the diets that "first world" countries enjoy that are high in ultra processed foods and chemicals. I'm no scientist but you can kind of see where those things line up with the increase of larger people and younger people getting sick sooner.
Although, that doesn't explain why young people are getting cancer in higher amounts and older people in lesser amounts.
Of course, scientific papers are kind of wild, tomorrow ten new papers could come out claiming all of that is a lie... my favorite example is the MSG scare, one paper said it was bad about 50-60 years ago and now most Americans still believe that, despite multiple other papers saying that it's fine in moderation just like regular salt.
I may be biased in that though because I use MSG in my recipes instead of salt, I think they taste better, you can buy it under the consumer friendly name Accent. Although I don't like it for things like Fries or Eggs where you need to sprinkle it on.
I buy a big bottle of msg once a year or so on Amazon and it goes into damned near anything I make so I feel ya on that one. (Actually need to top up this month and I might grab nutritional yeast as well and give it a go)
