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.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

  • Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

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

Well don't expect to see Alize and Newell coming back to tv anytime soon!

Reminder: Nixon talked earlier this year about not being able to get booked & struggling with that.

8 years in WWE, 4 on the main roster, you got one spot left on your ~~punchcard~~ bumpcard for the remainder of your career, you get romantically involved with a known MAGA choad (Alize), you get a 2nd chance in the only other televised big name show despite your ringwork being much more shit than it used to be due to injuries and time off and you tank it cause you don't wanna lay down.

Wrestling 1 fucking match for AEW, not even signed, and think they're queen shits, fucking idiots.

[–] rozodru@pie.andmc.ca 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

but...they're not even signed.

They're essentially "local jobbers" or doing the indie circuit and they're demanding they go over? Neither of them are even any good.

Add to the fact that AEW, currently, is building a womens tag division thus you need a team like Tay Melo (who literally just came back from pregnancy) and Anna Jay to look strong as they were pretty much the first womens tag team before the damn division even existed. Both of whom have also been with the company since pretty much day one.

Shit if I were TK I'd sign Hyan and Maya World just to stick it to Alize and Nixon because Hyan and World understand what's going on and are more than willing to do the job. Add to the fact they stepped up at the last time to do said job. you want workers like that around.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

I would not at all be surprised if Hyan and Maya do get signed, you step up to help out in a pinch you get noticed and remembered well.

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

This is a tangent but Mike Johnson really needs to work on his grammar. That headline and first sentence nearly gave me an aneurysm.

Maybe it’s me but I had to re-read that headline several times and then read the article to understand it. Poorly worded.

Now, regarding the talent. Gotta pay your dues. How you gonna complain about getting tv time and not having creative control. You aren’t even signed. Also if you aren’t going to win at least make a good impression at putting others over / selling, so that you will get better opportunities in the future. These women short term spending when they should be long term investing. SMH my head.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Too many people leave WWE thinking having that acronym on their resume means they're better than other people.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What in the wild world of sports?

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

Per Fightful: They were fine losing, they balked at the fact that it was a quick 2min squash. Regardless they walked out an hour before the show and left em hanging.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

the wild thing is it was literally a stacked go home show for blood and guts featuring multiple matches for that angle which were obviously going to get priorty. it was never going to get longer than that.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago

Bingo. And it sucks that it couldn't have been longer but in a business like pro wrestling, not being willing to take that 3 mins can be the end of your career. Damned dumb decision by damned dumb people.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Da fuq?

That's beyond dumb. They're not even signed; WTF are they thinking?

And I thought Miro refusing to job was dumb... At least he had an actual contract before he started being a pain.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 week ago

Alize is a antivax terfy MAGA twat (and while Nixon is the total opposite you gotta be mentally inept as a gay woman in 2025 America to be shacking up with MAGA trash and ignoring what they believe in) so neither of these women are particularly close to the field on which the "smart" tree blossoms.

Hope they enjoy their future careers in the NWA tho!

[–] zewm@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Dunning-Kruger effect.

[–] calliope@retrolemmy.com 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The duo were scheduled to put over Tay Melo and Anna Jay, but balked at the booking because they had already lost in their official debut last week.

This is so funny, what a bizarre thing to get upset about in 2025.

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

if this fucks oveer isla dawn getting signed imma be fuckinG pissed

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

I doubt it. Isla's been working ROH, doing whatever she's been asked, been workin great (and is good friends bts with) GYV. She's doing exactly the right thing the right way and being a literal model prospective ~~employee~~ independent contractor. She's getting that graphic as long as she doesn't call someone a slur on twitter or it comes out she kicks babies or something lol

[–] cupcakezealot@piefed.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

or it comes out she kicks babies or something lol

but drinking blood is okay since she is a witch tbh :3

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Then clarify for fucks sake or stop being coy we know you're making a run for Bully Ray's podcast next week

She also commented that she'll be live on twitch tonight to talk about it

i do get cautiously optimistic just since we have seen dirt sheets try and cause controversy where there is none about aew right before a big event but if thats the case then you should clear the air instead of being coy

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Well you see I did something stupid, but I don't want to day that. So instead I'll just be unnecessarily vague.
