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)/Websites.

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.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

  • Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

Any posts violating these rules may be removed.

Hidden Blade/OWA combo was perfect

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

Honestly thought Buddy Matthews was gonna call Okada a C U Next Tuesday. πŸ˜…

Anyone else notice those tiny ring stairs?

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 days ago

Tiny stairs for a tiny ring!

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That Hidden Blade + One Winged Angel combo was incredible.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Should call it Meteroa or something

[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 days ago (2 children)

First time watching collision in a long time. The commentary isn't doing it for me. It's oddly quiet. I miss Excalibur.

[–] kralk@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love the combo of Nigel and Tony, reminds me of Heenan and Gorilla Monsoon

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Not wrong, they do have a similar dynamic.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Hopefully Daddy Magic will be at the desk!

Aldo I think they might be have issues because Don Callis is at the desk and not saying much

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

*watches Copeland take the jump off the ledge and does the exact same fucking thing that led to him snapping his leg, but thankfully from a much shorter height*

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

Copeland hates his legs

[–] serfraser@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 days ago

She's been using it a lot lately which I thought was a cool detail. Like they all underestimated her for being crazy/a rookie and she played them all.

[–] Travon333@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

So Omega and Ospreay just go for the Ultra kill

[–] Elkot@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Bit disappointed Harley didn't win, I just hope TK doesn't forget about her now like he usually does

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Ditto. It's a mid tier belt and I feel like it was a good time to move the belt to some one that's hot with the crowd.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 5 points 5 days ago

Can't believe the vicious attack on the puppet

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

That terrifying moment when you remember AEW's ring posts are squared. 😬

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 days ago

I call them the poor choice posts. Never forget what it did to Christopher Daniels eye!

[–] Neon_Carnivore@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Screw Jericho, sing-a-long with Cope!

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

He struggled to avoid crying for a moment or two during that one. Intl crowds are the damned best.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Well 1 Aussie got something done lol

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

That's all you need!

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

Okada hiring Hologram to assist with his entrance lol

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Claudio is such a nerd lol

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Thanks for reshuffling tickets sign lol

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Boooooooo it was time!

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)
[–] csm10495@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 days ago

It looks like it but come on it must be normal size.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago

It's def not the standard ring, I'm assuming they sourced one locally instead of shipping the ring set up overseas. Diff ring steps than normal, AEW usually runs 20' rings, this sure isn't a 16' but it could be an 18'. I may be crazy but I think its an inch or two shorter than normal height wise too.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

Omega getting Final Fantasy fight music just feels right

[–] CoffeeMan@ttrpg.network 5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

What are the start times for preshow and main shows?

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

As the show is in Australia, it has already occurred. Main show began at 3AM EST this morning.

As for the broadcast everyone else gets to see: despite the fancy name, this is the regularly scheduled episode of Collision which airs tonight (it's just special as its in Australia, and extra star packed as a result, and with the filming of an ROH special paired with it which I presume airs next week), as such for anyone who wasn't watching live this morning: there is no preshow, and should air at the regular time Collision normally does in your time zone unless they state otherwise. The AEW website also says "Immediately following NBA All Star Saturday Night" on all its match placards so I assume if the game runs long it might be delayed but should air right after.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Max is giving me a time of 7:30pm PST instead of the usual 5pm

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 days ago

See shit like this is why I changed the last line of the discussion threads to 'Please check your local listings for more information on how to watch' a year ago goddamnit lmao
