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.

MJF sets it straight.

On the February 5 edition of AEW Dynamite, MJF and Dustin Rhodes traded verbal jabs in a heated promo. At one point, MJF mentioned the success of Dustin's younger brother, Cody Rhodes.

Rhodes wasn't a fan of this remark, prompting him to strike MJF in the mouth. Later on in the night, a match between MJF and Rhodes was confirmed for the February 12 edition of Dynamite.

Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas wasn't a fan of MJF mentioning Cody Rhodes, reminding everyone that he's at the top of WWE.

Great job MJF of reminding your audience about the man who is on top in the other company!
— Jimmy Korderas (@jimmykorderas) February 6, 2025

MJF responded to Korderas with passion, saying that Vince McMahon brainwashed his former employees to treat fans like morons and pretend like other wrestling promotions don't exist.

His brother.

My mentor.

A guy who helped shape me early on in my career.

Your old boss brainwashed you into believing we need to treat the fans like morons and pretend other Wrestling companies don’t exist

You dumb ignorant bald grifting fuck.

…respectfully.

Tell me, when he's tellin' lies.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 weeks ago

Does he actually think the AEW audience doesn't know who Cody Rhodes is?

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

MJF is right. The idea that wrestlers and promotions have to pretend other promotions and the wrestlers in them don't exist is WWE bullshit. Especially when we're talking about someone like Cody, who is integrated so deeply into not just Dustin and MJF's history, but AEW's as a whole.
