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.

Last night's Smackdown should be the last regular weekly usage of the tech, and some layoffs of related personnel is to be expected.

Solidarity with the workers losing their jobs.

But I'm glad WWE are doing away with it, it always looked really tacky imo.

I hate that shit so much lol

On the one hand, thank whatever god might be above, on the other hand, I hate this is part of layoffs and a loss of the stage.

I'm more upset about the loss of the tron. I think the titantron stage is one of the key features that made WWF stand out from WCW and helped those of us who could only afford nosebleed tickets, we could be in the arena feeling the magic and be able to see the screen so we didn't have to watch two ants on a sand hill fight.

It's simple but iconic.

They won’t be missed. There were only a few that really added to a wrestlers entrance. The rest just looked forced and didn’t really work well. The best one I remember was when Apollo Crews came out and had those two lion statues on either side (it was during his brief royalty gimmick, was that it?). At least they looked like they were a part of the stage set and not just floating graphics.

they should cut back on the sexual assaults and funding of genocidal regimes first.
