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 or just link the content in the body of the post.

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/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

Since I shared Brody King's Hardcore Trading Card I guess it's only fair to share Punk's too. Even though he's not exactly popular around here, they still did a good job on his card. Front and back

Why Kurt, Why?

Kurt Angle has joined Hogan's Real American Freestyle as a commentator... guess the man has bills to pay.

Tampa, FL (July 17, 2025) – Real American Freestyle, the new, unscripted freestyle wrestling organization, today announced that the legendary Kurt Angle will serve as live event commentator, analyst, and partner for the burgeoning brand – joining Chael Sonnen and Bubba Jenkins for RAF01 on August 30 in Cleveland, OH at the Wolstein Center. Tickets for the company’s inaugural event are on-sale now via Ticketmaster.

PWInsider

I considered making this a topic, but really this is more a blurb about pro-wrestler Kurt Angle returning to real wrestling as a commentator. I mean if he's just grabbing that bag for the event, go for it, I am still skeptical they are going to have this low ticket selling event at all.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Given all the comp tickets I am expecting it will not occur lol

[–] JelloBrains@piefed.zip 4 points 6 days ago

I tend to agree, but there is a part of me believes they want it to happen and fail. I wonder about their tax liabilities and what they will get to write off if this fails, and I also wonder about event insurance, if it fails do they still get paid.

the best part about aew is just how giddy and happy aew ppvs make you the day after <3 i honestly can't stop smiling.

Uno is, to some extent, producing matches for ROH and AEW apparently!

I used to work with a guy that said he had that shirt. He was actually a pretty funny guy but sucked at his job. Eventually came to work while one something, yelled at our fairly chill boss, and walked out. So you know, exactly what you'd expect from a guy with a joke Benoit shirt.

[–] GeekFTW@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

In fairness I've done that but my shirts are usually nerdy/geeky/gamery/etc lol
