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.

Andrade post-WWE first interview (youtu.be)

submitted 1 month ago by GeekFTW@lemmy.zip to c/squaredcircle@lemmy.zip

From the interview, Andrade said he is negotiating with WWE to get a deal to get out of a 12-month non-compete clause. He also mentioned that WWE activated the non-compete clause after his AEW appearance, before that, he was free.

Says he jumped to WWE because of Charlotte even though he was happy at AEW. Supposedly he had a friendly agreement to leave WWE again and they only got pissed when he turned back up at AEW. And insane that WWE's non-compete is world wide.

I guarantee you if he went anywhere else, even CMLL, that non-compete clause wouldn't have been a thing. I ALSO guarantee you IF he went CMLL and then did a single match in AEW suddenly that non-compete clause WOULD be a thing again.

For a company that doesn't view AEW as a threat, they sure do view AEW as a threat.

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

Absolutely correct. WWE wasn't counting on Andrade actually having goodwill left with TK.

[–] KnitWit@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

On the one hand, that’s some bs by wwe. On the other hand, I am perfectly fine with not having Andrade back in AEW for however many shows before he again burns his bridges.

12 god damn months?!?

The fact that he thought he was free and clear, but that poison pill was lurking, tells me he needs an agent and a lawyer to handle his contracts going forward.

And if he already has them, he needs to fire them and get better ones.

Absolutely. And at this point everyone above NXT levels of fame/pull who WWE approach to hire better be negotiating NCC's the fuck out of their contract before signing because of this shit.
