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.

Such a shame, I’m going to assume one of the reason is because Ricochet is no longer there and they want to spend more time together. In the short time (it seems short anyway) I’ve never heard a bad word about her announcing, she bought something different and unique to them, and from the clips that have been shared of her, she is just a big a fan as any other fan that watches.

I don’t think we’ll ever get someone who is as emotional in the ring announcements as Samantha is. Her calls when Sami Zayn and Cody won at WrestleMania will never be forgotten, you could hear her choking up when announcing Cody as the new champ.

Truly one of the best announcers in history.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Really was. Those social media clips were what won me over, seeing how emotional she would get and seeing how much she was enjoying the surprise appearances and such.

Fuck You! Ricochet.

That's mostly but not completely a joke before anyone gets out of sorts.

Seriously, this blows, she's not Howard Finkle but she's on his level like no one was before.

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

Indeed. Loved watching the clips of her announcing that they'd post on twitter.

[–] Brain@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

For the MANY of you who have asked, PWInsider.com has confirmed with multiple sources within the company that ring announcer Samantha Irvin resigned from her position.

Irvin quit the company. We are told WWE was made aware earlier today.

It was not a case of her being released.

As far as why Irvin opted to exit the company, that still has yet to be confirmed.

Interesting, apparently she quit.

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

Yep. Some people think she'll be in AEW (though likely after 6-12mo since she likely has a non-compete) even tho Ricochet said she won't be. Big hints from others have implied she's pursuing a music career.

Sure... ~~it's not like at this point it should be clear that you can't trust anybody in this carny profession.~~

At this point it's clear you can't trust what any of these carnies say on the internet.

Edit: Man I just read that back... I think it's more clear now with less words.
