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.

You can place the blame anywhere, but I just blame myself…that’s the only person I can blame because that’s all you can do. Obviously I didn’t do something, I don’t know what it was. For me, again, frustrating is maybe not the word, because again my last couple of years I met my future wife there, I made mad connections, the locker room was always awesome. As far as creatively, I mean yeah, there would have been more I’d like to do. Just again, mostly for the fans that want to see me do stuff, not even for me. It’s more frustrating for me to see the fans want me to go out there and actually do something of some substance. I was out there a lot, I was on television a lot, I was used a lot. But the quality of what I was doing specifically wasn’t there. There was a lot of quantity of Ricochet, but the quality of what he was getting just wasn’t what I wanted.

NXT went to shit

Them's is fightin' words. Seriously though, in your opinion, what do you not like about it?

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm assuming they're referring to 'NXT 2.0' cause holy fuck did it make everyone miss Black & Gold lol.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Like, I get it. I wasn't part of it, but I understand the sentiment. To still hold a grudge seems kind of silly. Right now honestly may not be the best time for them, but the past couple years I have been watching have been fantastic. It's never going to be Black & Gold again. We have that at AEW

Edit: 2.0 gave us Gunther, Bron Breakker, Tiffany Stratton, Ilja Dragunov, and sooooo many more. Now we have Giulia and Vaquer coming in to liven the place back up. Not to mention the TNA cross over. It's getting a little stale, but has been a ton of fun. I love TNA now. I think Shawn is doing a terrific job and isn't getting enough credit.

Apologies if I am being too defensive. I mean nothing by it, just throwing out my opinion

We have that at AEW

Yep. I loved B&G, 2.0 lost me hard and never got me back, but I also have like 30 promotions I follow so idgaf lmao. But I still check in when interesting stuff occurs.

[–] Cadeillac@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I'll be the first to admit I'm a fan boy lol. I get not having room for another promotion, no biggie, but to actively hate on it when you could just go watch AEW baffles me
