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:

Not actually a match, but Roddy Piper beating up Bobby Heenan for ruining Santa Claus. When it aired, I was already old enough to know that Santa was kayfabe. But, I had a younger brother and several cousins that still believed in the magic, and this episode of Prime Time is what made me a Piper fan for life.

I donβt remember a lot of the moves, but when I think about that pure childhood feeling itβs Juvie v Reese in WCW. I think Iβve even seen it on worst matches lists. But I liked the cruiserweights and it felt like this huge David v Goliath match and I was so invested in it.
no i get it! juventud had so many moments like that in wcw and it really made you get behind him
The juice was always amazing.
Royal Rumble 92, Flair's win. Growing up I only really had WWF on tv and the occasional WCW episode now and then so my old man (the type to go rent a dozen VHS tapes, copy them with his 5 VCR switcher set up, swap the tape reels and return the copies lmao) would head to the variety video and get random PPV's for me to watch (after the aforementioned copying lol).
RR92 was one of the first ones and I swear I damn near wore a hole into the VHS ribbon watching that match.
Edit: And if I can throw in a 2nd, Ultimate Warrior vs Macho Man. Warrior whupping the dog shit out of Savage, Sherri coming in and attacking him after the match and Elizabeth finally having enough and saving him/reuniting with him. I had a WWF home video release of big wrestlemania moments with Randy holding up Elizabeth on his shoulders on the front cover which sat on my bookshelf for the first half of my life lol.
i get it! that was the first wwf ppv i remember getting because i loved ric flair); it's also the gold standard for commentating since heenan and monsoon were amazing!
Bobby and Gorilla are my JR and King.
i feel the same way with jr and tony (or tony and dusty) :)
For me it's probably any of the best of seven matches between BookerT and Chris Benoit.
Hulk Hogan vs. Ultimate Warrior at Mania 6. This was like the ultimate confrontation when I was a kid.
Now I think they're both trash, both in the ring and as humans. But that's the way things go sometimes.
Sadly :(
For me it would probably be a match I never actually saw and was probably done many times in various house shows around the county.
I remember being 5 years old and for weeks WWF Superstars on KMSP played promos promoting am upcoming "world shattering" match Between Hulk Hogan & The Big Boss Man at the Target Center. I begged my dad to take me repeatedly, but we could hardly afford to keep the fridge full in those days let aline stick a 5 year old me in a car for 2 hours to get to Minneapolis for who knows how many hour show and over priced crap that a 5 year old would need to commerate going to a WWF House show.
I know that feel :(
