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 or just link the content in the body of the post.
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)/Websites.
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:
Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:
Any posts/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

Some screenshots from the document:
It's actually even worse than we thought...
I should say I'm surprised but I mean..
Specifically, McMahon stated that he had informed Nick Khan and Brad Blum that her presence in the Company posed a liability of such enormity that “unfortunately, [Ms. Grant appears] to have my company over a barrel.”
Humiliated and scared, Ms. Grant believed she owed total obedience to McMahon, Khan, Blum and Laurinaitis and echoed back McMahon’s assurances that she was loyal to the Company and would sooner jump off a balcony than hurt them
Fear, intimidation, humiliation, isolation, and the sudden emergence of Laurinaitis, Khan and Blum in her daily life made Ms. Grant believe that if she was not obedient to them, something bad would happen to her
Nick Khan would personally help Ms. Grant to find another job.
she needed anything, to contact ... Nick Khan or Brad Blum.
I lump these quotes together for a resounding fuck Nick Khan, that fucker shouldn't be in charge.
Jeff Speed, who quit the WWE Board of Directors in January 2023 when Vince McMahon returned to the company, stated that they did indeed reach out to Grant during their investigation. In a statement sent via law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett L.L.P (the third party that led the investigation into McMahon), Speed commented, "I remain confident in our investigation which included outreach to Ms. Grant and engagement with her lawyer."
I pulled this quote from PWInsider who got it from the New York Times. Just because I think it will be interesting if this makes it to court if they can bring the receipts on this.
I also want to point out when they use "Information and belief" that so and so knew something, "Information and belief" is a fancy term for I think or I believe.
Michael Hayes and the unnamed Ref should be sent packing too.
I'm not going to be shocked if they allow it to go to arbitration, but I'm sure hoping it goes to court and discovery and all the dirt comes out.
I lump these quotes together for a resounding fuck Nick Khan, that fucker shouldn’t be in charge.
Amen.
Hayes genuinely must have a briefcase of documents hidden somewhere cause he should have been fired 30 times over by now.
It was off how McMahon's lawyers literally had nothing to say to even sort of spin the story. They must have nothing at all.
Hopefully justice will be served.
