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

Dude, If ya don't know Odyssey Jones, that's one thing. If you're only watching the main roster and not NXT then he's only 'been around' for a literal month and now is gone. Blink and you can miss him.
If ya don't know Gisele Shaw then you don't watch TNA period cause she's been on screen for 3 years and ya probably shouldn't comment on stuff you don't watch cause ya can't have an opinion on it lol. Look the people up at least, ignorance helps no one.
I don't watch the NHL but I ain't going to the hockey community and going "Who?!" after the news of the guy who died last week lol.
Oh, I don't watch WWE in general, or TNA. But I still know who Moose is, and Joe Hendry, and Jordanne Grace.
The top people in a promotion tend to make waves, and headlines. And then there's people who just sit on a roster, appear regularly, play their part, and nobody talks about them.
With NHL it's even worse, because you have Wayne Gretzgy, and then a WHOLE LOTTA "who?" since the league founded over 100 years ago. But their problem is that NHL fans don't really talk about NHL to anyone. So non-fans never hear the names, or know who's a good player. Same problem with the MLB.
My dad HATES wrestling. Like he actively detests it. He still knows Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, Steve Austin, The Undertaker, and The Rock. I'm unclear if he knows John Cena or Ric Flair, but he's demonstrated proof that he knows the others I mentioned by name. Because society talks about those guys. Or at least they did when they wrestled. But I could fully understand why he wouldn't know who Shelton Benjamin is.
This disqualifies your opinion of "I've never heard of this person, so they don't matter."
If you're not watching in the first place, why do you feel the need to express an opinion? The "big names" don't just instantly burst into household name status, everyone starts as bottom of the barrel fodder. Even the people who found fame outside wrestling, still had to build themselves up in some way. The stars don't align for everyone to become recognized outside of their weekly audience, and you don't need to shit on them for it.
But more importantly this:
The people in question are literally making headlines, and you're still playing the "who?" card.
And if this were an NHL forum, and you were acting like anyone who isn't the The Great One is irrelevant, even though you don't watch the NHL, we'd be having this same conversation.
Your father's opinion on wrestling and knowledge of certain wrestling personalities is completely irrelevant to the topic at hand.
