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.

Fantasy Booking Friday! (lemmy.zip)

Welcome, wrestlefriends, to SCZ's "Fantasy Booking Friday"!

After twelve long years... January is finally over.

On the first Friday of each month, I'll be presenting a fictional wrestling scenario, and it's up to you, dear wrestlefriend, to play armchair booker and decide how you would make it happen. Your submissions can be as straight forward, or as goofy as you like, the only rule is: keep it in the realm of wrestling (Death Battle already booked Batman vs Spider-Man).

This month's scenario:

Can I get a do-over?

Take a terrible wrestling storyline or feud and rewrite it. One caveat, however, you can't change the participants. For example, you still can't have the NWO in your Invasion rewrite.

Note, I said rewrite it, that doesn't necessarily mean you need to make it better.

Just to be clear, this is not a contest, there are no prizes to be won. This is purely for entertainment. Happy booking!

Finger-poke of Doom: Watch Nash shoot and once Hogan pokes him, he just lays him the fuck out (brother).

Elite Hunter Frankie. Man how lame was that? And it had all the potential in the world to be fun. Just turn him into a backstage Punisher laying traps for the elite and have them constantly looking over their shoulder for some crazy elaborate trap or wacky ambush out of a broom closet or something.

Really lean into how insane this could go. Like if Daddy Ass can be kidnapped I don't see why Nick Jackson couldn't have been hung over a tank of pirannhas. Real Looney Tunes meets Jigsaw Killer energy. Kaz doesn't ever even have to do a single run-in for the whole gimmick, just have him lurking in the shadows, a perfect kayfabe reason to thin out the Elite numbers on any given week.

Also the urge to just make this post about reversing bad booking decisions rather than detailing a feud itself was so strong... Ah fuck it:

Cody doesn't go over Malakai, Punk doesn't go over Hangman, Goldberg doesn't go over Owens or the Fiend (and while we're at it Goldberg never comes back after that one time he squashed Brock and it was awesome - no 50/50 bollocks, we just leave it at that), someone else goes over Jade for the TBS belt much sooner (anyone, idc), Jericho doesn't go over Kingston, and lastly a controversial one but I'd let Kip go over OC for the International belt (and while we're at it fuck the name change we're keeping the All Atlantic name, I don't care that it's dumb, in fact that's why I love it!)

I actually liked the All Atlantic name, it kinda reminded me of some of those obscure, but still prestigious territory titles. Meanwhile: International, Intercontinental, Interchangeable.
