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.

@GeekFTW I really dislike Iron-man matches

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I don't mind them, but I'm not a fan. It always ends up kinda formulaic, either we go to the full time with no falls and gotta do a surprise sudden death, or they have a dozen falls which dont matter before the match finish. Both kinda suck.

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 4 points 16 hours ago

That AND it takes forever. Nothing good in that

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was at a friends house tonight who has Netflix and it was the first time I watched RAW in a long time and...man that was the most boring wrestling show I've seen in years. are they all like this now? just talking segment after talking segment with mediocre matches sprinkled in? thank god it was only like an hour and a half.

And why do I feel like they're going to rehash the "legend killer" gimmick and give it to Gunther.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 5 points 22 hours ago

it was brutal. the ONLY good thing is we could skip a lot of it so we only ended up watching like maybe 20 to 30 minutes worth.

It also felt like the Rhea and Sky stuff was just a copy of Timeless Toni Storm and Mina.

My guy (val) your biggest feud on TV was with a Japanese stable that wanted to chop off your dick. you got no room to talk about "ideas that were proven failures". you then became a lackey for Stevie Richards of all people.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 22 hours ago

Pretty sure the twat spent more time during his career on Sunday Night Heat than on Raw lol

[–] ImADifferentBird@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Val: "I am not going to say anything negative about Mick Foley."

Also Val: Lengthy passive-aggressive post about Mick Foley, interspersing praise for him with shitting on his principles, ending with a meme calling him a cunt.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The meme is an addon referring to Val being a cunt, just to be clear. Val's post ended with the word ideas and nothing further without an image.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the correction.

Also, meme is relevant. Val is a cunt.

I usually use the holidays to catch up on NJPW & Dragongate, but this year the kids have already maxed out our data cap for December. πŸ“‡πŸ§’πŸŽ„

hiding the video cause its huge on desktop lol

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe it's just me, but the video a normal size on my phone, but ridiculously big on my PC.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah it's how Lemmy formats it when you upload the video directly lol. This is why 99% of the time I use a video host but I was lazy and fuck it, it's Yule.

for the record on piefed it looks fine :3
