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 or just link the content in the body of the post.

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/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

I also feel it's the mentality of some former WWE wrestlers that since they were in WWE, on TV, in the "big leagues" so to speak they feel that results in instant bookings and more pay. it's been this way for years, decades even.

Hell I remember as a kid in the 90s going to indie shows with former WWF talent and they ALWAYS main evented or simply didn't show when they were advertised. I remember going to a show at Old Tucson Studios in Tucson, AZ in the late 90s where it was supposed to be Yokozuna vs Super Fly Jimmy Snuka in the main event. Yokozuna no showed and it was Jimmy Snuka vs some local jobber. match lasted all of 20 seconds. Then Snuka was charging an arm and leg for a photo and autograph.

https://blacksky.community/profile/did:plc:cfdhery3qgnicbbhgntngfnk/post/3m5agkdkm722o Also that bit of their match with Marina/Megan where they sandbagged her on a double suplex (and she deadass lifted em through it anyway)

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Even without the sandbagging that was sloppy as hell. Did they think the match was over after the super kicks or what? They just stood there (and botched a high five, but we've all been there).
