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.

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.

In an interview that debuted prior to Dynamite, Khan said that whoever holds the title after November's annual Full Gear pay-per-view will get an automatic spot in the Classic. However, the titleholder will have to win the tournament final at December's Worlds End PPV in order to keep their championship.

...

Khan also reiterated that the rules around the Continental title will remain the same: no interference and no one allowed at ringside.

This is a little weird. Because now that Eddie has dropped the title to Okada, it has to be explained that Eddie is the Continental Crown winner, but not the champion, and inversely, that Okada is the Continental Champion, but not the tournament winner. Feels like adding mud to the water.

Is the Continental Championship part of the newly revived rankings? If so, why did Okada get a shot without having wrestled a singles match in AEW? Did his ranking in NJPW carry over? I guess you could patch the holes in the story by just saying "The Bucks used their power as EVP's to force Eddie to put one of his titles on the line." But, man, this is really fucky.

Good news out of all this, unless he drops the belt, we know Okada will be in the next CC tournament.

@Neon_Carnivore @GeekFTW I don't mind a title being reset every year with a tournament and otherwise working like a regularly championship. I forgot that the rankings were back, in which case it does matter more that Okada got a shot out of nowhere. However, I don't feel like they've referenced the rankings that much in general. Still not convinced they're a good idea, but I'm open to seeing more.

100% expecting the rankings to probably be gone again by the end of the year lol. I like em, I just don't see TK utilizing them properly.
