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.

There was a lot of praise internally for the Mercedes Moné vs. Stephanie Vaquer bout within AEW, specifically for Vaquer getting over so strongly with the live crowd in NYC for her work. We are told that Moné went into the bout with the express goal of "making" Vaquer and that even with Vaquer getting into town late as she didn't arrive until the afternoon of the PPV (most were in the night before), the feeling was that they hit the goal.

The story that George Clooney sent Moné a bottle of tequila at the PPV was 100% legitimate.

Vaquer looked incredible.

I've always been amazed and how good Mone can make others look, whilst coming across as a bit underwhelming herself. It's the complete opposite to 99% of wrestlers, and is so much harder to do.

Speaking of Mone, I don't get what they're trying to do character wise. If she's a face then she needs to wrestle a lot more, or just do more than that heat-bait dance.

i never got babyface vibes from her; i got cocky egotistical tweener, tbh.

in d&d terms, i don't think she's full on chaotic; i think she's true neutral or neutral good.

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

I wouldn't consider her a face at all

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I get that, what I can't work out is if that is because of my general dislike of CEOs 😁

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

If she really wanted to be a CEO she wouldn't wrestle at all, and would claim others wins as her own

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Well she is the one taking all the risk!

I agree. If they're going for face with Moné, it's really not working. Her whole persona screams arrogant heel.

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

She's face-ish because when she came into the company there was zero chance she was gonna get boo'd. It's like MJF, if they bring him back and immediately is a shitheel, it's not gonna work cause that return pop will always make em a babyface.

Now that she's been around for a month or two they'll be transitioning her heel, especially with Britt back (which, same thing, 100% face pop when she returned so Mone'll take the heel spot).
