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.

This isn't game of thrones. It's a live show with no beginning or end. You're asking me to catch up on 20 years of story to understand this? Means it's no good then. Every other story or feud has made total sense to me as a new person. And also it's not that I don't understand what's happening, it's that it's stupid, that's what makes no sense to me.

Nothing is supernatural? Why the fuck are guards just flopping over? What are they being gassed? Why is a wrestler running away from another wrestler crawling towards him face first instead of punching him? Why is Chad gable acting like he's alone in a room when he's I'm an arena full of people? Why did the Wyatts kill and maim an entire crew without consequence or explanation? It's stupid. It's about as stupid as when I was a kid and the undertaker was shooting lightning and I knew it was stupid then. Or when the yeti showed up to assist the giant in wcw. I hate this supernatural shit. It's childish and cheesy. If I wanted to see this I would watch a horror movie

It’s a live show with no beginning or end

Correct, but the storylines do have beginning and ends, and the storyline you're hopping into right now is the 8th chapter of the 4th book in a series. You can hop in at any time and fully understand new stories that are presented going forward but you obviously aren't gonna get the full details without doing a minimal amount of catch up work, no.

You’re asking me to catch up on 20 years of story to understand this?

No, I'm saying you missed 20 years of story so you shouldn't be surprised at not getting something. What WWE (and anyone else involved) is asking you to do is catch up on what's relevant. It's 2024, WWE puts out YouTube videos, compilations, and tons of things to help people get caught up. Watch 2-3 videos and you're caught up.

Literally everything else you said.

Sounds like you have a problem with suspending your disbelief then. I can't help you with that, that's a part of basic media literacy. Sorry I'm not trying to insult you, I just literally cannot help you. It's pro wrestling, it's not supposed to be 100% serious and logical all the time, we're literally watching people in their underwear acrobatically fake-punch people and smash each other with pieces of metal that would kill any human being on the planet lmao If you're trying to find logic in everything..
