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

That's a " I don't get fuckin paid enough for this shit!" Face for sure!
That pretty much dispels any doubt that Punk was the aggressor in the situation. He got in Perry's face, he stopped Perry from walking away, and he threw the first strike.
Still not sure what AEW was trying to accomplish by airing it though.
Yeah I'm glad they showed the footage, no one can say shit now, but why put it on the show, release it in a statement or something.
AEW was supposed to take the good parts of WCW, not the shit parts.
I agree what was the point of airing it, I guess we'll see if the Bucks v FTR match gets any kinda bump from it but I think they could have done essentially the same angle without actually airing anything.
The trouble is stuff is so polarised between WWE v AEW and Punk Fans vs Punk Haters that I think everybody is just seeing what they want to see in the video.
I think im just going to go back to watching NJPW, but would have been on the AEW / Punk Unhappy side - and to me it just looks like a grown man acting like a baby and a bully instead of doing his job. I suspect there was probably more post-match that will never get aired that might make him look even worse (and vindicate TK's response) but the whole thing is just dumb and beyond time to move on.
Man's lucky this was in the UK cause it's definitely grounds for assault and battery charges.
That doesn't make it better - the police in the UK are who chooses whether to charge, not the victim.
Now, the Met won't do anything cos it isn't worth their time, but it would be absolutely hilarious if they did.
That's what I meant, it's 2 American citizens and nobody called the police, it'd be funny but why would they bother?
They won't bother, but now this has been released they could choose to, that's all I'm saying.
That'll come down to an operational decision for the Met, but they are currently too busy beating up minorities and protecting their own from murder and rape accusations, so, bigger fish.
Prioritiesβ’
It'd be kinda funny if Punk got barred from entering the UK because of this.
I'd laugh.
Have yet to watch it or Dynamite (will be shortly) but I've already seen tons of people saying the clip has/is being DMCA'd off (non-aew) social media, youtube the like by AEW already lmao.
Yeah that's why I went with peertube, hopefully it stays off their radar long enough for people to see.
It will. No one knows or cares about peertube enough to go after it anytime soon lol. Same reason I use stream.new for quick clips instead of streamable.
I like Malaki wondering in at the end like it was any other day
Also Taz going to Hook instantly to get the scoop
What a pathetic tool.
Can anyone explain to me why people in Reddit claim this gives WWE free stories to use? I don't watch WWE so I won't pretend to understand what story they have going on with Punk and Drew.
A) Reddit.
B) People are dumb.
C) Cause they think WWE is gonna lean into this somehow for their own ratings grab.
Really what WWE'll do is likely make a slight remark on commentary at some point in some unrelated match or interview so a few people online will chuckle at the reference and otherwise ignore it.
