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.

We all know Josh isn't winning.....but how cool would it be if he DID??? You got Maple Leaf Wrestling hosting an Event for an AEW title, with a TNA wrestler as the challenger.

Maybe Ethan Page, an NXT wrestler, could run interference, and help Josh win!

Then at Bound for Glory it could be Takeshita w/Kyle Fletcher (and Don Callis on commentary) vs Josh Alexander w/Ethan Page

Look, if I'm going to fantasy book something that has 0% chance of happening, I'm going all out. Fuck it. John Cena is the special guest referee, because why not?

Doesn't Callis still own a portion of TNA?

see the north is fine

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Alright then, so Josh isn't winning

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

depends on how much aew and scott d'amore have talked to be honest. ge probably won't lose it since he just got it but i wonder if there could be a bigger story considering don's history with tna and scott. maybe there will be a story of the don callis family vs josh alexander

[–] Biskii@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There's a chance something is going on behind the scenes. I don't know Josh's contract status, but I just can't see AEW and TNA playing nice with the NXT deal. I'm happy to be proven wrong, or corrected on anything I don't fully understand

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t know Josh’s contract status

His contract was extended for a year around last January give-or-take when the D'Amore thing happened, and he seemed to make his intentions semi-clear that he was out the door but would give it his all for the final extra year, so he's likely in a couple months unless if something changes.

As for WWE: They have no say in any of this. Alexander is allowed to take outside bookings and has many times including recently. Only thing that can be done to interfere is if TNA were to suddenly have tapings this Sat/Sun and call him in for them which with 2.5mo left on a contract is a good way to fuck around and find out by having your talent sit out the rest of their time with effectively zero repercussions.

I know WWE doesn't have a say. It was more about AEW not wanting a TNA star having their belt after that relationship soured and TNA are now in bed with AEW's biggest competition
