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:

Aww don't cry Michael Cole! You're gonna make me cry!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Samantha, Triple H, Michael Cole, it's great to see the entire team excited and happy for the story to come together and end like this. It adds to the entire show for me.

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

Yeah it was a shock hearing her struggling to get words out, then cole choking up and you could see how proud Trips was. I haven't felt this excited by a match for a long time, like I was standing on my couch screaming like I was 10 again.

As Michael Cole said at the end of the show "God damn it I love professional wrestling!"

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

Cole has been an absolutely phenomenal part of the Cody story

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

The maldad Cody actually did it

I'm a little disappointed that Bayley didn't come out with the Bayley Buddies... instead, she had a knockoff version of The Boys.

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

Local Enhancement Boysβ„’

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

Randy Orton telling KO to slow down on the golf cart was the best part.

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

ITS JOOOOOOOOOHHHNNN CEEEEENAAAAAAAAA!

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

Did The Rock invent time travel?

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

Being tan, jacked and bald really helps

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

Roman took his eye off the ball for revenge on the one betrayal that has shaped the Tribal Chief the most

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

For one brief moment tho I was on Romans side, you want to dress up like the traitor you gonna get hit like the traitor, a well earned receipt, but then it was back to usual.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

There better be some funky shenanigans soon or calling it bloodline rules was pointless. This is just a no dq match.

Edit: YES! LET THE SHENANIGANS BEGIN!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Right, why did The Rock, still pissed at the Cody Crybabies not come to do commentary or something, we know he's there.

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

Either he's gonna come out near the end of he's planting the seeds of hate, making us want something like him talking shit on commentary unrestricted.

Cody Rhodes with the Young Bucks in the video package, that's a little odd to me considering the Punk stuff going on right now.

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

Tonights ad count is a lot less than last night, guess they decided to not go so overboard.

Prime Logo remains on mat and turnbuckles for tonight.

Rollins - McIntyre

At least at the start no ads except Dude Wipes on the posts... replay by snickers and WWE 2k24, assume all replays are like last night.

Gin & Juice by Dr Dre & Snoop Dog sponsors the Final Testament vs. Bobby Lashley Group.

---- Missed everything up until Heyman walked out ----

Logan Paul - KO - RKO

Obviously Prime everywhere. Prime pimped by announce team. Prime truck, like the Austin Beer Truck or Angle milk truck. Prime hydration station is back again.

Announcers push Peacock ad for new streaming tv show about Rome or something.

Bayley vs. Iyo

Dude Wipes on posts.

Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes

Brought to you by 2k24, over 200 superstars available now worldwide!

Dude Wipes on the posts... apparently last night they realized they went overboard because tonight has been very tame with no ads on the wall or apron from what I could see.

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

LA Knight really worked his way into a singles match at Wrestlemania in less this quick

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Are we sure AJ styles and Johnny (insert company/show name) aren't the same person?

Soo I think Ishowspeed just got killed by Orton lol can't stand his stuff but gotta respect taking a bump on a table that didn't break lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Logan is about to get his shit pushed in and somehow steal it πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

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

It's got to involve that person in the prime suit, I wonder who it is, usually when it's KSI they don't have the face mask covered like they do tonight.

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

I have no idea of any side-person who joins Logan as I'm 40 and don't care about Logan Paul and his activities, but whoeever it is got dropped lmao.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The shenanigans have started

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

And what shenanigans they were! I'm so glad no one was home during that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Hey guys how do we make the Final Testament match against Lashley Group even more misplaced? I know, let's make Bubba Ray Dudley the referee! WTF that's random.

Man Samantha does ring announcements like she's trying to get all the gangs together.

Yes Stephanie we are ready

My god I love Seth Rollins' outfits.

Genuinely surprised they've actually put the belt on Cody. Good on ya.

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

If they hadn't done it this time I think there may have been a riot lol

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

This ungrateful crowd should be thanking Drew not booing him

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My phone lost sound during the Seth/Drew post match, can anyone recap the Drew/Punk interaction?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I didn't catch it all but Drew was basically telling him not to comeback because he'll end his career.

Punk was saying that it should be all about Drew but he's still worried about him

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

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­

Tasteless of Punk to attack Drew unprovoked

Damien cashes in finally

How long until Gunther is WHC?

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

Where did this Zydeco come from? They look like they belong in New Orleans, not Philadelphia.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

I’ll admit to not watching for a while. But, I gotta ask: was there really nothing that could take the slot currently filled by Hurt Business Lite vs. vaguely generic House of Black rip-offs ? Maybe they needed to fill 3 minutes in the whole show?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Ehh, it's obvious certain people are big enough that they pretty much should always get a match. Lashley is getting the Profits and Kross some time.

Same with Bianca, no way she gets left off and we got a Jade showcase, Naomi and some Damage Ctrl out of it

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚So each guy started with 5 finishers stored

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Got them taunts in ahead of time to build up the meter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

2nd match cursed with equipment issues both nights

But the fans bloodlust for tables was met

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I missed everything from the Lashley winning to now with Paul Heyman coming out, what did I miss? Fucking city code enforcement made me move my car from the same spot it's been in for 5 fucking years, assclowns.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

La Knight beat AJ Styles and a HoF package/Ad

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

Cool, I think that was a good decision, AJ Karen's been asking for a beating for weeks.

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

Well after the Lashley match snoop told everyone, not so slyly, he was gonna go get stoned, then I also did the same and yeah that's all I got.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol Cody gets his wife booked, it's admirable honestly
