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.

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).

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.

Nitter

Not surprising in the least as a lot of people figured she'd be on her way out the door once D'Amore was canned (they are engaged for those not in the know). Expectations are that she ends up in Maple Leaf Pro but I could see her doing the indie rounds easily as well.

aside from wrestling shes a pretty big inspiration for me as a trans girl i loved her documentary about coming out and im so glad tna supported her. she'll obviously turn up in maple leaf but i really do hope for a run in roh too because id love to see her and ember.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She's got a lot of friends between ROH/AEW, I have no doubt she'll pop in at least on occasion, especially assuming MLP doesn't get a tv deal (as I cannot imagine 'new small Canadian indie wrestling company' gets a tv deal lol).

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah this is the way; i love when talent can go from company to company just having fun without contracts so i hope that more companies can work together like this :)

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Same. We've had too many decades of 'You work for us and us alone so go fuck yourself if you don't like it'. The post-pandemic, post-AEW wrestling world isn't putting up with that anymore. Life's too short to not wanna see meaty people slapping meat across company lines.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

of course i'd also like the same companies to get together and push for unionisation and benefits too to make sure they get paid fairly too :)

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We want em to push but that's the one I don't think they'll get ever unless if a company starts up unionized from the get-go. Fucking business is too carny still until another generation of people run through management and clear out the old chaf.

Hell look at this shit from today/yesterday from Konnan (who I know isn't exactly a stellar example of 'good promoter':

All these shits need to retire or die first before unions will be a thing in wrestling.

why am i not surprised there.

[–] DJxSpeedy@mstdn.social 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

@cupcakezealot @GeekFTW i think becorse MLP got athena + Don callis + QT she will get an showing at ROH / AEW πŸ˜‰

i think AEW / ROH works with scott / MLP πŸ‘

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Takeshita as well. Scott ain't stupid, he knows AEW/ROH will 100% work with him and clearly is and that's real good for both parties. Also got ELP from NJ, Yamashita from TJ. Working with AEW-ROH is gonna be worth it for the connections alone, especially for access to Rocky who helps facilitate a lot of this stuff.

[–] DJxSpeedy@mstdn.social 3 points 2 months ago

@GeekFTW ooh sorry forgot takeshita πŸ˜‰

that wasnt a "i dont like that they are open to work with eachother"

i love that TK works with scott πŸ‘
