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.

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

I just hope they don't go Temu Timeless Toni here like the heavy feelings I'm getting from that promo.
some semi-nsfw sourcing for the possible reason there may come another name change, but we'll see what happens lmao
Well that's gonna be fun for the kids to search.
Watch em backtrack and Crystal November shows up next week lol
DiD yOu eNjOy tHe sHoW?
Iβm like 80% certain they knew and did it anyway.
Wow. They really just do not care about women's wrestling at all, huh?
Honestly, if any incoming woman should have kept her name and gone straight to the main roster, it's Mariah fucking May, who came in directly from being a main event talent for AEW. The fact that she's being treated like this says so goddamn much.
She chose to change her name. She didn't wanna sign the rights over, reportedly.
I feel like, if they saw the value in her name, they would have worked out some kind of licensing agreement or something so she could retain ownership and they could still use it. They've done it for plenty of other wrestlers.
And it's telling how WWE is the only promotion with this "we must own your name" gimmick. Even other major promotions, like AEW and NJPW, somehow manage to promote talent without having to rename them.
I get the niece part, but that name kinda sucks
Saw some new details I wasn't aware of anymore: Mariah May apparently took a 75% pay cut for this shit.
Wrestlers need to get out of this mindset that WWE is "the dream", because it's really looking like a nightmare.
Yeah it's the NXT Specialβ’, same with all the big names who show up. If you go to NXT, you get paid the NXT pay until you hit the main roster where you'll get main roster pay. She won't be in NXT for long so she won't be getting shortchanged for long either but I'm wondering what her actual main roster pay will be in comparison to what AEW was paying. If she doesn't get at least $1mil then, then I'm gonna laugh.
Ain't no job or opportunity that I'm taking a 75% pay cut
