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.

Right? None of them are putting that shit on display in their homes lol

[–] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 12 points 5 days ago

I've got to wonder what kind of person would not only be present for an event like that, but also put this on display in their home.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 days ago (2 children)

So who else is betting phylacteries?

[–] JelloBrains@piefed.zip 5 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Jewish cases that hold Torah Scrolls? That'd be a weird thing for these Halloween decorations.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

No, phylacteries from D&D, container that holds a lichs essence so it can't die. Like a horcrux but less shitty and unoriginal.

[–] JelloBrains@piefed.zip 5 points 4 days ago

Makes more sense, only remember it used in the Jewish context, I used to love the books of monsters DnD put out for campaigns, but I can't remember shit that was in them.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I've always found it weird and gross that DND uses that word to mean "where liches keep their souls". Seems a little blood libel-ish.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It was used as such cause Gary Gygax studied a lot of religious history and incorporated a ton of religious ideas into the system, for good or not (in this case). Gygax did that a lot in D&D, the whole of it is heavily Christian coded too. Demons, angels, devils, churches, clerics, crusades, etc.

Why is the word still used? Cause if it doesn't involve Hasbro making more money they don't care. Offer em $20 to change phylactery to "amulet" and they'll do it, but not before lol.

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Horcruxes, IMO.

[–] JelloBrains@piefed.zip 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So... are we betting that these are at Cena, Taker, and Lesnar's houses in prominent positions?

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Quite likely.

Waiting to see one end up on eBay lol

[–] JelloBrains@piefed.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd bid a fiver, just for the fucking weirdness of it. Of course I also think it'd be fun to go to Greece and toss it in the ocean for some diver to find later on hoping they found something.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Buy it and take a dump on his face, call it an art exhibit on his life, seal it in resin and resell it for profit.

...don't tho he may buy it himself lol

[–] Fugit@piefed.blahaj.zone 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Where would you display this if you were one of the lucky owners? As for me, I think it would fit lovely between the toilet brush and the tp holder.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

Ooo good idea!

[–] socsa@piefed.social 5 points 5 days ago

I guess I just have better things to do
