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:

  • WrestleVotes
  • RingSideNews
  • Brad Shepard
  • Billi Bhatti and "The Dirty Sheets"
  • Any post or article citing one of the above as a primary source.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

  • Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

Any posts/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

Their website indicates that if you miss raw or Smackdown you can watch it next day on Hulu. However, that's not actually the case, and I'm pretty sure it's been that way since Raw moved to Netflix in January. And as far as I can tell they're is NO WHERE to watch Main Event in the States any more until a month later on Peacock. screenshot from 2025-05-25 showing advertising Hulu on WWE.com/shows

(Technically yesterday but time is a human construct that I do not respect).

TNA Wrestling is introducing further adjustments to its on-screen presentation, with new guidelines reportedly issued to talent regarding specific in-ring actions. This development, reported by Fightful Select, follows a recent directive from the company for performers to scale back on the utilization of blood in matches.

According to the Fightful Select report, TNA’s talent relations department circulated a memo outlining the new changes. The memo stated that slaps will now require prior approval from an agent before being used in matches or segments. More stringently, the popular “throat slashing” gesture has reportedly been banned entirely. The report indicates that any talent performing the gesture will be subject to a $100 fine for each instance.

These new rules come shortly after TNA management addressed the use of blood in its programming. The company had requested that talent reduce the frequency of bleeding in matches, as there was a feeling that it had become somewhat overused.

In an interview conducted shortly after that initial directive on blood, TNA star Steve Maclin commented on the company’s reasoning. Maclin stated his belief that the decision to scale back on blood was a strategic move designed to make its use more impactful and meaningful when it does occur in significant storylines or matches.

The newly reported restrictions on slaps and the outright ban on the throat slash gesture suggest a continued effort by TNA to refine the creative presentation of its product, while appealing to a broader audience to attract more advertisers.

The banning of the throat slash gesture, a taunt used by numerous wrestlers across various promotions over the years to signify an impending finishing move or to intimidate an opponent, is a notable change.

So imagine in 2025 being a TNA fan, paying money to the company to watch yesterdays PPV, and less than 24h later the show is free for some cockassed reason lmao.
