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.

That ad covered mat is atrocious. I agree the new ref shirts look like fast food workers, although I was thinking Wendy's not McD's. I could live without all the celeb cameos, Hogan getting booed was great and you could tell he was bothered by it.

I don't mind Undertaker, his podcast is decent when Teddy Long is on talking of the old times, but maybe leave Taker on the Axxess events with very rare appearances. To answer Geek's question... I believe he is very much living the gimmick like Flair, he took that gimmick in 2000 to heart and ran with it, he likely is a bad ass, I certainly wouldn't have picked a fight with him in his prime, but mostly I think it's the gimmick and he's just living it. As to Katy's thing about him being an old loser... well yeah, he rides Harley's, as somebody who likes to kick tires on bikes from time to time and that is almost all you see on them and at the stealerships these days, silver haired assholes. I do still love the old Fat Bob they were making a few years ago, it's now discontinued because their CEO has decided to double down on existing high price point customers... old people.

I remember thinking when Endeavor bought them that maybe the Saudi deals would end because of how Endeavor cut ties with them... now we know that isn't happening, they still have 3-4 years on the original deal, but Riyadh Season is on the ring mat, they seem to have doubled down on the so called "blood money."

All around, there was nothing in my borrowed stream would make me buy Netflix for WWE. Just as I figured. We'll see where they are in a few weeks in terms of booking and quality.

EDIT: I forgot to put full Hogan thoughts... you know that Real American... lol, anyways...Fuck that jabroni mark bubba. The fucker arrived wearing a MAGA Powers (Trump, Vance, Hogan) shirt according to social media, apparently he was made to change into the beer shirt for the appearance, he appeared or the RNC and verbally sucked off Donald and friends to huge applause, why would that fucker think he could come to California of all places and not get booed the fuck out of the building. Trumplicans are going to annoy me for life I guess.
