This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

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.

@GeekFTW but is it WWE's fault that info gets leaked? Dijack's release itself was announced by him, no leaks.

Is it WWE's fault that info get's leaked? That depends entirely on how things leak to be honest. It's not like a bunch of agents, producers and wrestlers are sitting around backstage going "oh shit bruh I just heard $Name is getting released today at 3pm! I should go tell Sapp first!"

WWE is a business like any other. Management (Paul, Nick, HR, and a small few others) are deciding who gets fired/released, once they make a decision the next person to know should be the person being released, not reporters/Twitter users. Never in my life with any job I've been at have I been fired and had anyone but HR/my direct boss know before I was told to my face (and trust me I've been fired lots lmao). Anyone finding out they've been let go via social media/reporters mean the upper people at WWE who made that decision chose to talk about it to someone besides the talent in question first.

And the fact that Dijak announced it himself this time is irrelevant to the point of how it's happened to others before. Maybe WWE smartened up and decided to do it 'right' this time, but it doesn't make up for doing it 'wrong' many times up to this time.
