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.

Darby with a flamethrower is terrifying, but man that final segment got me excited for the ppv.

The kayfabe of TK bringing in Darby made so much sense because he is probably the only person who can overpower The Bucks in terms of telling security who to let into the building.

I dig.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Completely covered the how did he get by security! He got the guy that signs the checks lol

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did I dream that, or did they just bring back the Bloodbath?

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And a good one too. That shit looked chunky af, they got the good effects guy tonight!

Edit: lol and they dumped so much it bled through the top canvas layer.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

If you did I did too!

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Toni didn't watch for the shoe

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

The shoe giveth and taketh

Really awesome show tonight. Felt like a 90s show in a good way - wild, unpredictable, and dangerous.

(Not in a bad way, with nonsensical stories, short inconsequential matches, and rampant misogyny).

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Sonjay out here wrecking shit

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Satnam on one knee is as tall as Bryan

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nigel has been saying it for months, Copeland is a psychopath

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

He just knows that Malaki has a blood fetish!

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

TK rolling in with Da.....did Darby take a lesson from Eddie!?

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Oh Toni, you silly tease

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mox crowning Takeshita with the mic was just funny.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I want an all horn version of the Double or Nothing song

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

I thought that was a gun at first lol

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Ugh, I hate when big guys like Luchasaurus get caught in the ropes like that

I hope he's okay

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah that looked nasty

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Just got to that spot, ow. Hopefully he's ok but I could see his knee being hurt from how he twisted.

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OC and Will Ospreay open alot of shows not that I'm disappointed about it

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Could be much worse!

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Lmao, Will has so much energy and Orange just doesn't

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

Perfect combo lol.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nick Wayne looks like the old tarp on top of my firewood

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some damn good matches on this Dynamite for being just before the PPV!

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

Better than the TNA Specialβ„’ (which is having your Go Home show be a Sunday Night Heat, which has happened at least 4 times in my recent memory lol).

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah the graphics popping up for what's next is insane

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Good Samaritan Don Callis couldn't let blatant cheating happen

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow his music actually cut him off like he's really desperate for TV time

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

He can say it's a gimmick all he wants to help him sleep at night

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I was hoping the Takeshita vs Sydal match wouldn't be a squash match

I think they could put together a damn good match

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

Love Sydal but I see him and I expect a squash nowadays.

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

I suppose I should do the same :(

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 year ago

There's enough signs that Darby is definitely showing up

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)
