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

Won't be long before she publicly cries about reddit being mean to her, also, why the fuck does she need a kickstarter? Is she as terrible at managing her money as she is at acting?

Why the fuck does she need a kickstarter? Is she as terrible at managing her money as she is at acting?

That was my first thought. Like youve been UFC and WWE champion. You probably got a shit tonne of money for MK11.... Use your own damn money!

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Celebrities don't like spending their own money... In 2013-14 there was that Veronica Mars movie, it was put on Kickstarter even though the star and director are both well off, not movie star money but well off, they could have funded that movie if they wanted to make it. They ended up with 6 million in funding, only recovered about half of that when it released, it's a risky gamble if you are using your own money instead of other peoples.

Which is kind of the original point of Kickstarter. It was meant to be used to fund projects that don't necessarily have great commercial prospects, but still have an audience that would like that thing to exist. That's why you don't invest in something on Kickstarter, you back it. Investors expect ROI; backers do it for the public good.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Kickstarter is largely used to market and gage interest while setting up a very early preorder list.

Almost no media project is actually funded solely through Kickstarter anymore, especially not for physical media like comics or board games.

Learned that after Brian Pulido's 284756th Lady Death kickstarter. 8 was my limit.

[–] MolochAlter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I actually almost only get board games I'm hype about from KS these days, that's how I know.

Board game fighting game BattleCon for instance, which I heartily recommend.

[–] HybridSarcasm@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

The internet really is full of horrible people.

[–] minibyte@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

What I hear you saying is: the problem with the internet is the users, and I absolutely agree.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Wiser words were never said.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

The ~~internet~~ world really is full of horrible people.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes I do miss Reddit. Wish I could have been part of this pile on.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago

I made sure to add my own in regardless, tho it was one gain of sand on the beach lol.

[–] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

Wow, who was naive enough to let that happen? πŸ˜‚

[–] barsquid@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I didn't realize she was a nutjob. Wow seems like every day you learn a new celebrity was actually horrible all along.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 months ago

Oh yeah she's been riding the nutter train for good long time.

Yeah, she has been for a good long time now. Sorry you had to find out.

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

I'm impressed, they answered 38 questions it looks like, I've seen bigger name celebrities do less and they didn't get half the hate and down votes.

Obviously, she deserves that hate, I can't imagine losing my kid in a horrible way and then watching this huge at the time celebrity disparage their memory and claim they aren't real. Fucking moron.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 months ago

Rampart, etc.

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago (3 children)

It's pretty amazing she can find non Sandy Hook questions to even answer.

Also, that comic she's promoting looks bonkers. Why is she pregnant and holding a gun?

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

STORY SUMMARY: Her codename: β€œMom.” With a fake baby bump filled with guns, she’s built a reputation as one of the deadliest hit-women on the planet. But on the verge of her big break in the criminal underworld, Mom makes a fateful decision: sleeping with a potential target (who just so happens to be a top-ranked assassin himself). What follows is a wild mashup of action, adventure, comedy, and romance as a newly pregnant Mom with a bounty on her head fights off wave-after-wave of assassins, falls in love with her baby daddy, and decides how to face her personal and professional predicament.

Appears to start out it's fake and has guns in it. Then it becomes real...

It's not common but we've seen pregnant women at gun ranges before where I live.

[–] siv9939@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don't live in the south and pass multiple Confederate flags when I go to visit my dad, a pregnant woman shooting a gun isn't surprising to me. I was more questioning how a pregnant woman is doing action star type stuff, even if it is Rousey. But if she's pregnant with more guns makes sense, I guess.

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

Shit I live in Canada and pass multiple confederate flags some days πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

That summary almost makes me want to read it.

And by that I mean I would rather yank out my eyeballs and slice em up on a mandoline while singing 'Oh Susana' than read that godawful piece of shit comic lmao.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 4 points 2 months ago

The real question is, does the fetus have a gun?
