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.

Tony Schiavone: "My facial reaction was trying to put heat on the Bucks being assholes in storyline... Social media is idiots coming together and trying to come up with their own ideas." (stream.new)

"I didn't give a shit about the footage and still don't. Some people say 'Oh that footage you showed is like the Fingerpoke of Doom' for AEW.

You know what? That's what YOU want it to be. Because you want to see us fail.

And there's no way, there's absolutely no way you can compare us to WCW. You can't. You may want to. You may think you're right. You're wrong. I was there at both, you were not."

People should be ashamed of themselves for making Tony have to think about late stage WCW again

the best thing about elon buying twitter is that it made twitter less relevant than ever

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just wish more big names would drop it and hop on the mstdn bandwagon already (or even bluesky fuck), but I get it.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago

yes i'd love more ppl on bluesky (only cause i like the interface more than mastodon and threads) but also because the moderation lists and labelling services are amazing.

i subscribed to a labelling service that can automatically hide or warn about twitter screenshots which is just a godsend.

Unfortunately that same thing was making the rounds at Bluesky.

Last 30 seconds of the video clip is some chef kiss.

Go Tony.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Because of my belief that Tony Schiavone is on the same level as Jim Ross and always has been, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

Yet, some part of me is having a hard time with this, I've watched him for a long time, including his stints with Atlanta Braves/Braves AAA announcing, and I don't remember him being that good of an actor. But.. Batman is his superhero of choice... fuck it I'll believe him for now.
