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.

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

Technically yes, in Berlin lol.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Legit my first thought after reading your comment was "oh, is Bubba back?"

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

Technically, Punk only fits three of those criteria.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you still believe Punk is a lefty I have a ~~bridge to sell you~~ co-op that would love to have you as a member.

He hasn't really given me any reason to doubt his politics, to be honest.

Just because I agree with him politically, doesn't make him less of a toxic bully.

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

Punk's politics seem to just be an extension of his narcissism, and wanting to be seen as anti-establishment.

Having allies is helpful - and I'm glad he's a vocal supporter or trans and women's rights - but none of his actions make me believe he's left wing in a political theory usage of the term. Liberal, sure.

He's retired and bored, happens to a lot of retirees, let alone somebody that retired in his early 40's.

Here's what he said after walking out with Nic at TripleMania:

Nic Nemeth is a good friend of mine, and I’d worked down in Mexico years ago, and wanted to go back down and see AAA and support Nic, and I was excited to go back down there.

No, no (I’m not looking to wrestle). I’m looking for an investment and looking maybe to do something with AAA, and I don’t know. We’ll see. I enjoyed what they did. There’s whatever the crowd capacity was, the building was full. 15, 20,000 people, and they drew a heck of a crowd.

Hopefully there’s something that will come out in the pretty near future that will kind of make all of this kind of clear and kind of see a path going forward. I’m not exactly sure the path going forward. I’m not just being vague on purpose because I’m not exactly sure what’s going to happen.
