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

Are we going to live post here? Or maybe on Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Here, as we always do. Anyone who wishes to live post on Mastodon or anywhere else is more than welcome to as well lol.

We always do the live thread here, but definitely feel free to post in Mastodon as well.

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

Sooooooooooo........wait. Are we just going to ignore the devil stuff, and say Cole is a face now?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Coming back from a long-term injury almost always results in a face turn, it's not a new thing. It's been happening for as long as I can remember. He can always turn heel again in the future, wrestling has more turns than NASCAR.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That HHH return pop back in the day still lives rent free in my head.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Bro, that's the exact example that came to my mind as I was typing that.

[–] csm10495 4 points 2 weeks ago

Cole is the face, the mask was on his face. Now it's off so he's a face again /s idk lol

This is going to be the first AEW PPV I'm not watching live. Not a failing on AEW's part, other than scheduling a PPV on Yom Kippur. Looking forward to seeing it tomorrow.

Enjoy the show, folks!

Rick Knox is the Elites Nick Patrick

Is Aubrey Edwards the Earl Hebner?

Not AEW's best show, I'll admit, but I still enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised that some of my match predictions were wrong.

The end of the main event, though... FUUUUUCK.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Hated the end of the show, if that was Bryans end, fine, but the whole thing was ugh.

Also could have used (in addition to more NJPW people which I think ive mentioned earlier) more women on the show.

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

Hopefully it goes somewhere interesting but I think I'm still blegh on Mox as champ again. The roster is so stacked I don't need him as a 4x champ

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm ok with it but I kinda wanted at least another month or so build first. This is too soon into his new schtick.

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

I suspect Danielson's neck surgery needs to happen sooner rather than later and the timeline got accelerated.

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

Yeah I'm sure it was Danielsons wish to put Mox over etc. My hope was that Christian somehow walked out as champ last night but ig he wants to extend his reign as the next AEW World Champion

Jack Perry is such a little shithead

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

In the best way possible.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Fucking Rico rofl

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

Nice win by Cage, good to see him with a non tag/trio/ftw title win.

[–] csm10495 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That ending made me sad and almost embarrassed to sit through.

Though me and my wife kept yelling 'here comes the money!' thinking something would happen. Oh well.

I'm getting kind of tired. This ppv isn't really doing it for me since the 3 way.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

It's a lackluster card, which was thrown together and rushed, and they burned through all the interesting stuff besides the Danialson match early on.

Also AEW ppvs are like 7 hours. I'm exaggerating, but if you include the preshow, I might not be.....that's the messed up part.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

In hindsight, all the interesting stuff was first

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I definitely feel they could have included like...one NJPW guy on the card at least given the point of this yearly PPV is to celebrate the life of Antonio Inoki, you'd imagine some NJPW inclusion would be a mandatory requirement besides the token 45 second appearance by his bored children. I know we're 2-2.5mo away from the big NJPW inclusion week so maybe they didn't wanna bring people in but Tony you control the dates the shows occur on too lol.

[–] csm10495 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hologram just slammed his head into the ground. Hope he's ok.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Guess Don got what he wanted from Ospreay. Took his title and his BF

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ How is Adam Cole a face in all of this?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

Wrestling fans have a 2mo memory usually. He's been gone long enough so boom: instaface #kayfabelogic

Oh my god.....the coffee website is real, and their logo is a cartoon prince nana doing his dance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I can't keep up lol, I had no idea this was tonight, and I've been watching. Gotta catch up on Rampage and hopefully sneak in Impact

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Gotta catch up on Rampage and hopefully sneak in Impact

Just did that a few mins ago myself lmao

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

We're watching Rampage now. Obviously Impact isn't necessary, but it turns out I really like TNA

Edit: you have Acclaimed and MxM in pre-show and main card

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

I blame Cagematch for that :P fixed, ty.

TNA is def good stuff.

Jay is slick af. Working the knee just kept on paying dividends

[–] csm10495 3 points 2 weeks ago

I think last year, this show ended with Adam Copeland's debut. Think they'll do something cool this year?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

Those might be the first machine gun chops I've actually liked
