This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

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.

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).

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.

Due to NXT having several major sponsors on things today, I kept track of Mania as best I could... it's a new day, yes it is, in terms of advertisements.

American Home Shield logo appears in corner of screen for a few seconds after match has been going on about 20-30 minutes or so. I also just realized these ads were on the arena banners too.

Replay of Rock winning presented by American Home Shield.

That closes out the ads of Mania. It truly is a new era in advertising for WWE as TKO gets into the full swing of things.

Oof, christ. Really goes to show how little I've come to notice them over the years, I think I'm just autoblurring em in my mind but that's a big list..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

The steady cam was Verizon not xfinity.

Seeing it listed out like this, I feel less weird for feeling a bit overwhelmed by ads while watching. It’s probably the most ads I’ve seen watching something in a long time. I was happy to see the mat ad wasn’t distracting though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Yeah I'm thankful the ring ad is just the outline really and not some big coloured in logo with a text tagline under it, it could be much worse even if I don't like it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

The really bad ones to me were when the ads were white, like Minute Maid and American Home Shield really stood out and were somewhat distracting to me.
