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.

Looks like his surprise GCW promo just got him pulled from indie bookings for a while now too, according to SRS/Fightful Select.

Haven't read it yet but yeah I just saw the headline pop up and something about AEW not liking what Effy said about them lol.

Now TK is pissed off lmao. Good going Effy you cost your 'boy' some work with your big mouth.

First Fenix, now this... FFS. If you're not going to use them, let them go.

I wouldn't dream of comparing Tony Khan to Vince McMahon as a human being, but this is a Vince move.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 8 points 17 hours ago

Tony needs therapy after CM Punk, and I'm not trying to be funny this time. That man is not responding well to being hurt.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 7 points 18 hours ago

It is for sure.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago

I just don't understand keeping somebody you don't want to use. It's just stupid. I understand they signed the contract, but those contracts are crap. I also don't run two multi-million-dollar sports franchises and don't have all the data and info that TK has either but as an outsider, it looks McMahon levels of petty.

What does losing Starks to WWE hurt? Nothing, Tony has something like 200 on the roster, and I think somebody calculated he only uses about 80 of them. Just cut your losses and send him packing, it's a win-win because it saves AEW money to use on Final Countdown when Bobblehead Bryan wants to come back.

That is some petty shit lol.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 19 hours ago

If true it really is

[–] EccTM@lemmy.ml 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Honesty, I know it's not the popular opinion here, but I feel both Fenix and Starks are getting what they deserve. They signed these contracts.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 8 points 16 hours ago

They did, but the issue with that is this is essentially the same lopsided contract every wrestling company has. If the contract can be cancelled at any time by the contractee and not the contracter then I'm going to have a hard time siding with the contractee in any situation.
