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.

Great idea, Cyrus and Joey Styles always played well off each other, and I loved him going at it with Gertner back in the day. It's amazing that slime ball still plays basically the same character today and it works as well as it ever did, by far one of my favorite wrestling personalities.
Same, him playing the network exec on ECW on TNN was always one of my favourite "oh just punch him in the mouth" segments every week.
Also still sad Styles went down the shitterhole.
Whatever did happen with Styles? All I can find is he made a 'grab her by the pussy' joke. It's definitely in bad taste, but there are plenty of people that have done and said way worse that are still in and around wrestling so it feels like I'm missing something.
The pussy joke iirc is what ended his wrestling career (and now also iirc he works at a pharma company), but I seem to recall he also later on made a series of right-wingish tweets. Lemme check..
"Obama hid from his middle name, Hussein, during the election and now brags about how many Muslims live in America. He's a fraud."
"The (Catholic) University of Notre Dame should be ashamed of themselves for having pro-abortion President Obama speak at their graduation.
Even those misled Americans who voted for the Marxist Barack Hussein Obama are invited to join the Judgment Day Live Chat on WWEUNIVERSE.com." - https://www.wrestlezone.com/news/194329-joey-styles-takes-aim-at-us-president-barack-obama
Some (like me) are still pissy about his comments on Mike Awesome suggesting he should have killed himself for 'betraying ECW' (ya know, by not being paid by them and wanting to feed his family) and eventually did kill himself.
Was indeed not good enough for Backlash
There's probably more but I think that's it.
That's disappointing, but it's also kind of a relief that he just has shitty ideas instead of doing something that got him MeToo'd or something.
Yeah on the collective 'How Shit Are These Pro Wrestling Personalities' rating list, while Joey is sadly listed, he's pretty comparably low compared to the rest.
