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)/Websites.
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.
Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

Any posts violating these rules may be removed.

Cosmic Angels (and out of all of them, Tam/Poi the most) lean hard into the Japanese Idol shtick. It's part of the reason Mina Shirakawa dances, she used to be in CA way back when. Tam herself mentally is fantastic. This woman writes pages of lore on her social media for her big feuds (and is possibly influential in the booking). Her matches will always excel.
Also don't be fooled with Saori, she has perfect resting bitch face but shes apparently a big dork according to the rest of CA lol.
I'll break your heart off the bat, don't expect Syuri/Sohrei lol. Ami is Syuri's right hand woman basically, most tenured in the group along with Syuri so they don't have m, and i'll spoil it for you now but Ami gets injured a couple months ahead of where you are right now and is out until..like this week or next week lol. That being said, I love them both and both are fantastic.
Very wacky. Most of their shows (the ones that arent huge ones) take place at Ichigaya Chocolate Square, which is basically a small room with a mat, and fans sitting right up to the edge of it. No ropes, no turnbuckles, and a lot of creativity lol
Ok this is embarrassing but I checked the promo I saw and I confused Ami Sohrei with someone else.. To be fair to me though, not only was it a shocking scene but I tried to unsee it as soon as I saw it, in anticipation.
It was actually a wrestler called Himeka. And it was a press conference scene where at first Syuri and Himeka seemed really aggressive towards each other, only for Himeka to fucking kiss Syuri?! And it also sounded like she made a pun afterwards about Syuri sounding like yuri lmao. NOT what I was expecting to see in a Japanese promotion.
I feel pretty shitty now that I thought it was Ami Sohrei (and a little disappointed if I'm being honest). I've only seen her in multi women matches so far and I'm probably a bit overloaded with new wrestlers to keep track of right now. Plus I only watched the promo once and my eyes fell out of their sockets and I immediately started jumping to conclusions lol.
Honestly not all that surprised to hear that she's a creative mastermind. I definitely got the impression right off the bat that interesting non-title match storylines are kinda her domain.
lmao! no worries, it happens. As for Himeka...yeah that was def Himeka! LMAO. She was fantastic, the 'Jumbo Princess', was Maika's tag partner back in those days in DDM. Unfortunately that promo was from (if I'm seeing the date right) April 2022. Himeka went on to retire in April of 2023 (in good health and spirits!) and hasn't really been seen since (aside from being spotted in the crowds, and 1 appearance as a ref(ish) for a match at Nao Kakuta's self-produced show last July, which was a good match lol).
That sounds so familiar to me. I think she might have been at Historic X-over 1. I've watched so much of this in the last few days that I'm slipping here. There's definitely a few that I've seen or at least heard of before though. But it would've been once offs and cameos in US promotions so I can't really pinpoint when and where.
Just have to say, I've had her entrance music stuck in my head on a loop since I woke up yesterday morning. I've definitely seen her before, maybe even in TNA. And she's a wrestler I'm for sure keeping an eye on right now.
You got it!: Queen's Quest (AZM, Lady C and Saya Kamitani) defeated Donna Del Mondo (Himeka, Mai Sakurai and Thekla) by pinfall.
Never worked for TNA, but she did have 1 match for ROH at Supercard of Honor 2024!
Weird, I've definitely not watched that ROH PPV but I've definitely seen Maika somewhere before. But that actually goes for a few of these women, and I'm probably mixing things I've seen lurking on Reddit with things I've actually watched.
You'll have to forgive me because I've now got decades of wrestling in the faulty hard drive in my brain and the filesystem is probably a little corrupted by now lol, so a lot of dates and metadata is missing.
I feel ya lmao
I have to be annoying you a little bit now but I just have to report. It's now day 3 and Maika's theme song is still stuck in my head. Not sure how I'm going to rid myself of it.
On the plus side, Maika is the shit so it could be worse!
