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.

Masato Tanaka wants to wrestle in the United States.

Masato Tanaka took to Twitter/X on August 14 and announced that he had been granted a new visa from 2024 to June 2025. He expressed his gratitude and stated that he wanted to go to the United States and wrestle as much as his Japanese schedule allows.

I have been granted a new visa from 2024 to June 2025. Thank you very much for offering me. I would like to go to the USA as many as possible if my Japanese schedule allows. I am not good at English. So please contact to me and my agent Kikutaro. @kikutarosan #pwzero1 #ECW

Tanaka previously had a memorable run in FMW and ECW; he had some unforgettable battles with Mike Awesome. The former ECW World Heavyweight Champion has won titles in NJPW and DDT, among other companies. Tanaka remains active in Japan, as he has wrestled for NOAH, DDT, and other companies recently. He competed at a few shows in the United States in April 2024, including Joey Janela's Spring Break 8.

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

What I wouldn't give for him to be able to have one more match against Mike Awesome πŸ˜”

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

WTF??? I could have swore I read that he and Mike Awesome both died around the same time???

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

Nope. Still an active competitor to this day at 51.

Hopefully he comes back to DPW.
