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.

cody looking at his next match against john cena

"chuckles i'm in danger"

Maybe the Codyverse will return to AEW after all.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Y'all.

R-Truth joined OnlyFans.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

...well, won't be the worst thing on my subs list.

Even Merriam-Webster getting in on the love.

Looks like we're a Merriam Webster dictionary household now!

Fuck TKO and fuck WWE, ghoul ass motherfuckers.

EDIT: I'm still mad at it, but I cooled down on this because I do like it was contracts running out and not firings.

That’s not what’s up

I’d guess this spells retirement for the guy, since he’s not exactly young.

Although I’d do think it would be fun to see him pop up for a night with Mystery Wrestling.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah at 50+yo there aren't gonna be a ton of places looking to grab him..I could totally see TK giving him a small retirement run tho, still some comedy but actual serious wrestling to go with it.

Rumours he could be one of the 'former world champs' making an appearance for an upcoming TNA show due to his history there but who knows.

i'm still salty tony didn't get grado for the first london all in T_T

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I could easily see Truth slotting into a player/coach role in AEW. He has a wealth of experience he can pass on to younger talent, and seems well-respected enough that people would listen to him. And hey, stranger things have happened. Like Jeff Jarrett's current run.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

For real.

I don't need him around in AEW for long, I know some people see the idea of Tony picking up another WWE cast off and just go 'ugh', but I keep thinking back to that IG live he did 3-4 years ago where he just broke the smile for a minute, went all serious and said he was sad he got saddled with the comedy shtick cause he felt he had so much more to give as a serious wrestler in the ring and if his body is still feeling like it I need him to get that shot, even if its a thank you midcard run with the TNT title for a few months or something.

Make him think its the world title and go around challenging the main eventers and show off, fuck it lol

wouldn't honestly be mad if he showed up at a maple leaf show tbh not for anything long term but it'd be a nice way to get eyes on the next show.

[–] jay@mbin.zerojay.com 6 points 1 week ago

Him showing up at AEW and still thinking it's WWE would be hilarious.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 week ago

Noooo he's the funniest person on there :(

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Has there ever been a release of a wrestler that caused this much uproar? Does TKO not like money or something? Truth is the most golden of golden eggs, you can literally have him say and do just about anything and people will pop.

Just hurry up and give him that legends contract, he deserves that more than some of the others on legend contracts.

I don't think I've been this angry about a wwe release ever.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Naw even SRS said he's never seen a response quite like this

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 7 points 1 week ago

It makes no sense, I highly doubt creative had nothing for him, this is a man who made me pop for a Pokemon go advertisement, truth running around hunting Pokemon, walking into match's and just being Truth lives rent free in my mind, hell when Pokemon go is referenced I think of him.

I'm like legit upset by this, like actually angry and sad about it, but seeing the overwhelming support for him is great tho.

You really fucked up TKO, you fucked up good.

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

This really sucks, but now I'm hoping we get a moody black and white video of Truth jumping over chain link fences and sneaking past dogs, while a voice over talks about how he's breaking free and all the standard post WWE stuff. The video ends with Truth realizing he broke into a higher security wing of the prison and gets chased around Scooby Doo style.
