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).

- WrestleVotes

i don't know whether or not to make this it's whole thread or not but it's got be thinking; with all the talk about rights deals expiring for nxt, smackdown, and raw on various streaming services can we talk about how bad it is that one company owns close to the entirety of pro wrestling history, at least in america.
not even about the current shows but the whole wealth of history from nwa and the territories now at the whim of media companies and wwe who will pull it for cost reasons but also issue takedown notices for those who put clips up on youtube. it's sad how much we have lost from this when digitisation should have been great for wrestling nostalgia.
It could have been a whole thread, because I'm concerned once the Peacock deal ends, that the network idea is dead, that even more of the history is locked in some server in the WWE warehouse never to see the glow of a screen again.
This is why things like XWT are needed. If I had known one day I'd want those tapes back I'd never have gotten rid of them. We all may have to go back to tape trading, USB trading? some kind of trading if they put it all back in the vault.
We all set up Plex servers with whatever content we each have and share and make our own network lmao
Tell me about it ().
Worst is we're also now well past the point where it'll ever change for the better. At best we coulda maybe had Shane buy out Vince (and/or kill him lmao), take the company private and choose to do something altruistic with all their footage but now in a post-Vince WWE that shits going nowhere until the day TKO folds which is in our dreams.
the best thing you can do is utilize yt-dlp and archive your own when you can find it on youtube but even then. they don't have everything. :/
*reads comment while ripping 32 videos off the NHK website with yt-dlp* yup! lmao
ahoy! i just got to a 4.0 ratio seeding today too :)
Same thing applies to the whole entertainment industry. I was hoping the one up side in Disney and WD gobbling up other studios was going to be throwing everything they own on their respective streaming service. Instead they pull stuff to save a couple bucks on residuals and up their prices to butter up shareholders and make their CEOs feel like they have big peepees. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to be trusted to pirate stuff without nuking the computer.
