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'm very sad to report that after all this time, I have an update on GeekFTW.

I received this DM from his partner and learned that he unexpectedly passed away back in January.

~~Out of respect, I've omitted Geek's first name and his partner's username from the screenshot, as I always got the vibe that Geek was very protective of his online anonymity. If they(the partner) give the okay, I will reveal it.~~ I've replaced the screenshot with the unredacted one.

~~I initially asked permission to post this but I didn't feel right sitting on this news and not sharing it with all of you.~~ I've been given permission.

Please share your thoughts and well wishes in the comments below.

Ah dude this fucking sucks. Geek was a great guy, he had no idea how postive an effect he had on my brain during some dark days.

The bonk hammer will be framed and hung up for his eternal memory.

I'll miss you buddy - sorry I couldn't repay the favour.

oh no~! he was always there to make me laugh on bluesky whenever i talked aew! πŸ’”

Ten-Bell Salute

Such a gut punch, held out a lot of hope life just got in the way, I'll pour one out for him. Hell of a lot of respect for everything he did to keep this community going, from the reddit exodus, to the Kbin 404 forced moving to Lemmy, tons of posts, just all around you don't come across people online you totally appreciate all that often, and he certainly had my appreciation and respect. RIP.

Howdy folks. I'm GeekFTW's partner. Sorry to have had to give you this terrible news and leave you wondering for so long. I've been going through his accounts slowly bit by bit, but damn is it hard. There really aren't words for how much he meant to me. He was my best friend, my soulmate, my partner in crime. He was my everything.

He went out for groceries on a Sunday morning and never came home. To say it was sudden and completely unexpected would be the understatement of the century.

Thank you for putting his profile picture as a tribute and for being an awesome little community. Please give your loved ones an extra hug.

Fuck 2026.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago

I'm so sorry for your loss

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Thanks again for letting us know. I can imagine what you're going through. I've been in the same situation with loved ones passing and going through their accounts was the hardest part.

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 day ago

I needed some time to process and I've been kinda fucked up all day. The unknown always sucks, but learning that it was the worst case scenario just makes me feel worse.

I'll be keeping his profile pic as the community banner for a while.

Rest in power, GeekFTW.

[–] bluesquid0741b@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago

That sucks. when someone goes quiet you always hope that life has just got a bit too busy.

This was the first community I joined in lemmy, and I always pointed out the way Geek keeps the community engaged.

Rest in peace, mate

That stinks. Geek was one of the few people I knew exclusively online that I considered a friend. He will certainly be missed.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Fuck, love GeekFTW. He has been and will continue to be missed.

[–] Demigodrick@lemmy.zip 10 points 1 day ago

Thats incredibly sad news, im so sorry to hear that. Like you, I was hoping for his return. My thoughts go out to his family.

[–] calliope@piefed.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Oh wow you’re kidding! I kinda hoped he’d just moved on or something. 41 too, damn.

That’s so sad, I hope he rests in peace.

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I just noticed @Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip added Geek's profile pic as the communities header. It's a nice tribute.

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

That sucks, although the way he disappeared I'm not too surprised. There was still part of me that was hoping he said 'fuck it,' wandered into the woods, and was living his best mountain man life.

He's sorely missed here, and I'm sure that can't be compared to how much his family and irl friends miss him.

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Damn. We’ll miss you, Geek; that’s for sure.
