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.

One show I spotted that you don't seem to have listed here is the Mark Hitchcock Memorial SuperShow on 04.04.2024, RVD vs Mike Bailey and a crazy looking Ten Man Tag lucha match!

Added!

I was slowly adding the shows happening this week to my calendar and gave up somewhere around Thursday evening, there's too much to watch!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

My girlfriend and I spend about a week to watch what we want!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maika and Tall Saya have discovered American Walmart.

Great Value lasagna is okay if you're in a rush to make a turd. The GV Southwestern chicken & pasta is where it's at.

Seriously, that shit is the bomb.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

I love how its basically become tradition for Japanese wrestlers who go to America, the men all hit up the fast food joints, the women all raid the grocery stores and conbini they can find (at least 5-6 posted photo's and videos lmao)

spoiler for Stardom

SAKI KASHIMA HAS A BELT AROUND HER WAIST AGAIN ALL IS WELL!

(Not something that happened during the show, but related)

Cody, a few times over the years, talked about how Dusty had a watch, a rolex. He said in his eulogy that Dusty had promised he would give Cody that watch when he won the championship. Dusty had ended up selling it for cash to pay for Cody's acting lessons, and Cody never found out until after Dusty had passed.

Levesque, Khan and Prichard gifted Cody the same model of watch this weekend.

It amazes me each year how many shows there are. I caught TJPW’s show last year and it was a delight.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

People know when to capitalize on a big thing!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Stardom starts at 3pm, BloodSport at 4pm...why 😭

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Me, spends 3-4 days watching way too damned much wrestling.

Also me right now with a few mins of downtime: "Guess I should watch an old show or something, got time to kill.."

🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago
