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.

Welcome, wrestlefriends, to SCZ's first ever "Fantasy Booking Friday"!

Hangman Edition

Each Friday, we'll be presenting a scenario for a fictional wrestling storyline or premium live event, and it's up to you, dear wrestlefriend, to play armchair booker and decide how you would make it happen. Your submissions can be as straight forward, or as goofy as you like, the only rule is: keep it in the realm of wrestling (Death Battle already booked Goku vs Superman).

This week's scenario:

The year is 1995, Vince McMahon and Ted Turner have (mostly) set their differences aside to put on a one-time WCW vs WWF pay per view. However, there are caveats: Vince refuses to let any of his "New Generation" wrestle against Hulk Hogan, and neither promotion can make the other look weak by dominating the card.

Just to be clear, this is not a contest, there are no prizes to be one. This is simply a space for fantasy booking and the discussion that comes with that. Also, this is fantasy booking, you're allowed to misremember some historical details. No one's going to cancel you if you can't completely recall which wrestler was working for which company 3 decades ago.

I haven't been able to come up with a full card but I have two matches.

Moustached Rick Rude vs clean shaven Rick Rude. When they lock up they get sucked through a hole in the space time continuum. Ruled a no contest.

Undertaker vs Sting in a casket match. Sting tries to come down from the rafters but Taker pushes the casket to where he'd land. Sting goes back up and tries a different place but Taker move the casket again. This keeps happening until it's ruled a time limit draw.

Main Event: Four Horsemen (Flair, Anderson, McMichael, Benoit) vs HBK / Diesel / 1-2-3 Kid / Razor Ramon - Wargames match

Bret vs Sting - Best 2/3 falls

Bull Nanako vs Alundra Blaze

Dustin and Dusty Rhodes vs Isaac Yankem and Undertaker

Paul Orndorff vs Mr. Perfect - Strap match

Meng vs Fatu

Jeff Jarrett and Owen Hart vs Stunning Steve Austin and Brian Pullman

Men on a Mission with Vader vs Chris Benoit - 3v1 Handicap “I Quit” match

I’m aware of booking Benoit twice. Call it payment in advance.

Is the aim for the audiences’ entertainment or Meltzer star stickers?

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

That's your choice. You can book the 1995 dream matches you'd want to see, or take a meta approach and book a show designed to make Meltzer cream his jeans*. As I said, this isn't a contest. The only prizes are ~~fake internet points~~ upvotes.

*I regretted that as soon as I typed it.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

Entertainment I'd say. The star stickers are too subjective and easy to harvest.

Book Doink vs Brock Lesnar. Put it in the Tokyo Dome, instant 5 Dave Points™ cause of the venue lmao.

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

This is just a test to see if this gains any traction, so I'm not keen on fleshing out a lot of fancy rules, just yet.

I've got scenario ideas for at least two more weeks.

If you have an idea for a future FBF scenario, reply to this comment.
