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.

https://www.shopaew.com/catalog/product/view/id/80030/s/aew-pride-2025-comfort-colors-soft-heavyweight-tee-20-of-the-proceeds-donated-to-dallas-pride/category/5343/

Yeah yeah, rainbow capitalism and all that, but honestly, in a year when so-called "allies" seem all too eager to abandon the LGBTQ community, it's nice to see AEW still trumpeting their involvement with Pride, supporting Dallas Pride monetarily, and giving LGBTQ performers a stage.

Now they just need to get Nyla Rose back on TV, because goddamn I love her.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

ok i love the fact that anthony bowens is directly involved but that design is meh. also i love it going to pride orgs in texas because they need the help but i hate that they're still rewarding texas with all in (it's not the same level as saudi but i wish companies would get to the level they did against starts who attack trans ppl like they did the first time north carolina did it in 2016)

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I hear you there. I actually made the choice not to go to All In this year, even though I could have made the drive, because it's in Texas and I don't think I would feel safe there. I mean, I'm not transitioning, I'm just genderfluid, but it's not like bigots are picky, you know?

But I do applaud the decision to support Dallas Pride, because if anybody needs help right now, it's LGBTQ+ organizations in Texas.

yes! it's basically getting to the point where there's very few places i can go and that includes terf island :/

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

Shit even I wouldn't go to Texas and I'm a fat 40yo white cis guy with a white beard who could visually blend in.

(And that's before you factor in A) being Canadian, B) having a Transmasc enby spouse lol)

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

if you change your name to ted and learn to lie a lot, you could be a senator in texas though.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

I'd guarantee all Texans a working power grid 12 months out of the year but that'd mean I wouldn't get voted in since some dark skinned folk wouldn't freeze in the winter. Oh well.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago

We need to make more of a stink online about Nyla so we can get her back.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

Watching this mornings Stardom show in Korakuen, Lady C came out and I noticed on their in-arena-screens they had the old Queen's Quest graphic playing instead of God's Eye so for what it's worth, AZM coming out to the Queen's Quest logo on AEW last month may have been Stardom's fuck up and not AEW's lmao.

Bear Bronson just popped up on GCW Cage of Survival 4 a couple mins ago, so he's wasting no time!

Edit: And he's already in the lighttubes lmao

Edit: Jesus he's bleeding good lmao

blood/gore

that's broken glass and slightly flayed flesh and Bear is doing more in this match than he has in his whole AEW/ROH run I'm kinda down for Bear 'Deathmatch King' Bronson..

Edit: Jesus that was a big bump..fireman's carry into an inverted DDT off the scissor lift through the table.

You know, Jim Cornette is kind of a fucking blowhard, but sometimes this man is just right.

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Oh, Corny is a jackass, but his hatred of Trump and his ilk is equal to, perhaps even greater than, his hatred of Vince Russo.

I will give the man one thing - he hates Republicans almost as much as I do, and he's much more eloquent about it.

Cultaholic also posted a video titled The Future of Cultaholic where the four originals look back on their time together. I understand that a title like that gets people to watch, but I was worried since their sister channel, Triple Jump, recently had to call it quits because of falling viewer numbers.

I know some people don't like them because of their list videos, but they also make some good documentary style content. I'll definitely miss Adam, but I'm sure the rest of the crew will do fine without him.

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

So, uh, Cody Rhodes, the Street Profits, and Tiffany Stratton opened for Trump's fascist army rally.

So, again, fuck WWE. And fuck Cody in particular. He has the clout, he could have said no.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

SRS came to their defense:

Which like...cool..but its a Trump rally lmao. When they publicly say they're vetting the soldiers who will be present so that those who oppose Trumps policies and beliefs won't be in attendance to ruin things that kinda means yeah it's a fucking Trump rally.

"Oh no guys it's not a Klan rally, Klan rally's have burning crosses, no burning crosses here, you'd be able to see them clearly in the sea of white hoods, come on now!!1"

If Cody himself comes out and says something like that, and condemns Trump in the strongest possible terms, I might accept it. Until then, Cody was at a Trump rally.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

Per PWI, Hikuleo is gonna likely be debuting on SmackDown tomorrow, finally lol

As I just said on bluesky, fuck them and the brain worm they rode in on.
