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.

Full quote:

"Big thing noted to us was reaction of the stars from the past to Will Ospreay, and the match with Konosuke Takeshita. Many [at Revolution] who had been in the business for decades had never seen an Ospreay match although had heard of him. Was noted that they couldn't believe how good he was."

If you removed the Sting match or just ignore that matches importance then they definitely had what I would consider the match of the night.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 months ago

Agreed. Ospreay brought some NJPW with him on that one.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

I still can't believe how good they both are!

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

I knew the match was going to be awesome, but it surpassed my expectations on every level. I really hope Carny Hotdog cuts a promo about it on Dynamite tonight.

[–] _chrib_@feddit.de 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I still think it was match of the night. Was it overshadowed by Stings retirement match? Of course, but that happened to every match on the card.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Oh I agree. I feel I have to give Sting's match the 'Match of the Night' mark in my own mind on a technicality cause of what it was, but if we're straight up talking 'what was the more impressive and entertaining match of the night?' then 100% Ospreay/Takeshita. Neither of these two men needed to give us an 8 star match when their 3's are better than most's 5's but I'm glad they did.
