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.

Mick Foley reveals MJF hoped to be his retirement match: “I probably would have gone with because he’d clearly done some thinking about it and lined out six great weeks of TV” (wrestlingnews.co)

”I’d like to see a triple threat: Mankind, Dude Love, Cactus Jack. You can do it by way of the cinematic match now, right? Yeah. Man, when I was thinking of having that last match, when I announced that intention, there were no shortage of people from every promotion reaching out to me and one guy I probably would have gone with because he’d clearly done some thinking about it and lined out six great weeks of TV was MJF. We didn’t take a photo together because we didn’t wanna ruin the secret meeting but I heard what he had to say, I really liked it. I had no doubt that he would have pulled it off perfectly. He’s so good and in his prime that he could have worked around my weaknesses and played to my strengths, and I think we could have done something pretty cool. MJF. Final answer. Take that Matt Cardona.”

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

YES! That would indeed be a good day!

They could honestly still build a program with Foley and MJF on opposite sides, just put Foley in a mentor role, similar to the pairing of Darby and Sting. Maybe Mick with Sammy? Or Jack Perry (after his current heel run, of course). Then maybe transition to a feud with Lance Archer and Jacob The Snakob, assuming Jake's health is up for it, a promo battle between them could be legendary.

Now I'm just imagining Jake and Mick having a Pokémon-like battle by pitting their protégés against each other.

"Archer used moonsault. It's not very effective. Trainer Jake used Full Restore."

Kids in the Hall was great! I hope for a comeback someday
