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.

Yup..

Edit: All I want out of Forbidden Door is X number of matches where it's AEW vs NJPW/Stardom. I don't care if the card ends up with 1 singles match and 9 8-man tags, just give me AEW vs NJPW/Stardom.

Don't bring in other companies. Don't fill the card with Collision-filler. I have no hate for CMLL but give them their own Forbidden Door show where it's AEW vs CMLL people per above, and stop shoving in filler you (TK) forgot to book on TV.

This year we have (so far):

Singles Match
Hechicero vs. MJF

Owen Hart Foundation 2024 Men's Tournament Quarter Final Match
Bryan Danielson vs. Shingo Takagi

Singles Match
Orange Cassidy vs. Zack Sabre Jr.

AEW Women's World Title Match
Toni Storm (w/Luther & Mariah May) (c) vs. Mina Shirakawa (w/Mariah May)

AEW TNT Title Ladder Match (vakant)
Mark Briscoe vs. Konosuke Takeshita vs. Lio Rush vs. Jack Perry vs. Dante Martin vs. ???

AEW TBS Title / NJPW STRONG Women's Title Match
Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Stephanie Vaquer (c)

IWGP World Heavyweight Title Match
Jon Moxley (c) vs. Tetsuya Naito

AEW World Title Match
Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana) (c) vs. Will Ospreay

(Edit: and the match I mentioned above with Jericho)

2 CMLL vs AEW
4 AEW vs NJPW/Stardom
3 AEW vs AEW

So CMLL gets 2 loses cause neither Hechicero nor Vaquer are gonna win.

3 AEW matches whose only tenuous grasp of the theme of 'forbidden door' is that Ospreay used to work for NJPW, Shibata used to work for NJPW, and in the other match you may have the mystery opponent be from NJPW/CMLL (tho they're losing by default in that line up, and I'm not counting Lio Rush as an NJPW 'guy). Both great matches for a PPV. Both shit-poor matches for a Forbidden Door PPV.

4 AEW/NJPW-Stardom matches, all 4 of which will be bangers I am 100% sure.

Whereas they could have 4 multi-man/woman tag matches, 4+ singles, have them be all AEW vs NJPW-Stardom (or again all AEW vs CMLL on a different show) and at least I know I'd enjoy it more.

I don't mind having CMLL involved (though I agree, a separate cross promotion show with then would be better), but I at least would want the show to be all interpromotional matches. Let's face it, for those 3 AEW matches, the door ain't that forbidden.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, zero matches should be on the card which are AEW vs AEW. 2 of them are fantastic sounding championship matches which could be done on any other PPV with zero issues and the 3rd is a Rampage piss match, I can name a dozen matches I'd rather see on Forbidden Door and that includes Saki Kashima vs Serpentico for no fucking reason other than I'd be funny as shit to see Serpento's reaction to her rolling him up for the pin 15 seconds into a match.
