This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

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.

I don't get it......why has EVERYBODY ALWAYS hated Disco Inferno? It's not like this is some new thing either. He was this despised back in 1997. I never got the hate.

He's not the best wrestler of all time, but it's not like he had a WCW title run or anything. He was just a fun little midcard comedy act. And everybody acts like he was worse than David Arquette.

He wasn't so much 'hated' back in the 90s so much as no one gave a shit about him (because as you said: he was just a 'fun little midcard comedy act'). He was a competent wrestler, enough to get a spot on a regularly televised wrestling show in Bischoff's eyes at the very least, but he had a ceiling and he was bumping his head against it from the first on screen appearance.

The hate comes from the same place a lot of wrestlers hate comes from now-a-days: He thinks he's king shit and all his own thoughts are correct and speaks from a place of authority on the topic of modern wrestling on several public platforms where the entire world can see him showing his ass in live action and as such everyone (rightfully) dogpiles on him including numerous other wrestlers who have accomplished more in shorter times than Disco ever was capable of.

Sadly he's the equivalent of an orange cat: He only has 1 brain cell and it's shared with other people.

But hey he can do the disco dance thing I guess lol.

Hey, not even mosquitos are as bad as Disco, how dare you compare Vampires to that guy.

I feel you have really fucked up if Tony Khan is joining in. That dude loves old wrestlers
