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.

I like Andrade. I like Carmelo. They work well together. Please end this

Randy and Triple H were great there, it went a little longer than I'd like but it was good stuff to me.

I don't want the COO, I want the Cerebral Assassin who carried a sledgehammer everywhere he went, wore leather jackets knocked down my front door and tossed me out my dining room window... I love that the characters can show they remember the past now.

Edit: Shows ending and I have some critiques... Jeys rejoining Roman is happening too fast and easy, like this is rushed. And holy fuck MCMG just got here and are the champs. Triple H liked him some TNA.

Edit 2: I'm kind of fucking pissed about Andrade and Carmelo's so called "Best of Seven" series... L.A. Knight turning on both of them and making it a triple threat in Saudiland is embarassing and trash booking that wasted weeks of my time.

The acknowledgement of long-term storytelling since HHH took over has been real well done. I grew tired of WWE having an 11 day collective memory many years ago.

Agree with Jey, it felt like he should have been the last one to join who finally makes the big difference (which I say cause unlike WWE, I haven't forgotten about the fact that they also signed Hikuleo lmao)

MCMG, I expected that. They're new to WWE but lbr if there's one team who in kayfabe could show up and just take the titles easy day 1(ish) it's MCMG.

I hate 'Best of..' anything. So much. If it's 3, we know it's going to 3 and 1-2 don't matter. If it's more than 3 it's just too damn long. If you need 4-7 matches to figure out who the better man is then both of them suck ass.

I imagine they are saving him for Survivor Series/War Games... OG Bloodline with Sami vs. Solo Bloodline with Solo winning thanks to Talla Tonga.

I can see that happening. I can also see the "ITS THE BUTCHER AND THE BLADE!!" moment which comes with it lol.
