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)/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:

  • Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

Any posts violating these rules may be removed.

If you've played it you can feel it was rushed. I wish the roster was more flushed out. I still play it from time to time which I knew was how I was going to play it when I got it.

Current champion is Malaki Black, TNT is John Silver, Women's champ is Thunder Rosa, TBS champ is Abbadon

As it should be.

My issue with this game is that it plays more like a fighting game than a wrestling game. Which I should have expected with Kenny Omega's involvement.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah I'll take any of the N64 wrestling games over FF any day.

Edit: Plus I'm over the drip-feeding-wrestlers-that-arent-even-up-to-date-skinned-for-extra-cash-when-they-should-have-been-in-the-game-day-1 deal.

I haven't bought a single DLC. I'll do like I do with Paradox games and wait for a $10 Humble Bundle.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Paradox games

*twitch* Don't get me started.

I love me some City Skylines and Stellaris, but that business model suuuuucks

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

(RIP CS2 cause there's no hope lmao.)

CS and Stellaris DLC is one of the primary reasons that I'm not gonna use Life By You as my replacement for The Sims ever. I want a company who'll make less DLC than EA, not more.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I actually like CS2! I just need to replace my CPU fan before I play it more lol

Man, they could have made this into a modder's paradise and make it a mainstay in wrestling games.

Instead they made crappier no mercy with a roster years out of date and somehow a more limited CAW system.

I was so hoping for a good mechanical backbone to put mods over without the insufferable limitations of the wwe games but apparently aew hates money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Oh come on, they put out a "Freebie 4 Da Fans" DLC for FREE, what more do you want?

Seriously, the game was listed in some of the recent spring sales and it was barely a discount, let alone the 10 bucks I'd be willing to pay for this game.

Xbox Boom Edition: 63 PS5 Boom Edition: 54 Steam: 30 Steam Elite Edition: 40 Steam Light the Fuse: 60 Steam Bring the Boom: 48

All prices USD. Still too much for me even with these supposed sales.

Cyberpunk 2077 turned shit around, and that game is really good now, AEW could do the same if they choose to just make additions or alterations to this over time. However, I think getting a new team is better if they see this as a thing they want to do going forward.
