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.

The expectation is All Elite Wrestling will be holding more Thursday night tapings of AEW Collision moving forward, according to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

Meltzer noted the "main talent" are fans of taping on Thursday nights as it means they don't have to stay on the road for an extra couple of days or go home and then travel again a couple of days later.

Taping Collision on a Thursday does harm the show's ratings but Meltzer claimed the damage wasn't enough where it was worth AEW sacrificing the goodwill they have with talent.

Collision has often aired live on a Saturday night since the series premiered in June 2023, but more episodes have been taped on Thursday in recent months.

Collision will remain on Warner Bros. Discovery networks in the new year when AEW's new TV deal with WBD takes effect. Collision is planned to remain on the air throughout the deal which will run through December 2027.


I guess this makes sense. Doesn't bother me if the show is live or not as long as it's good and if it keeps the wrestlers happy all the better. Means AEW getting all their live/taping for the week done over a 24-28h period..I mean TNA has done that before doing like a months worth of show tapings over 2-3 days so its not impossible by any means.

TNA's more like a 0.02 rating. The AI Chatbots say average of 82k, but I found some ratings from last year:

EDIT: Here's some updated ratings: https://ustvdb.com/networks/axs/shows/tna-impact/

Ok......I don't know if AEW is going to sink THAT low. Even WITH streaming. That is genuinely shocking that you can fit all of TNAs average audience inside Cowboys stadium, and still have like 1/5th of the stadium empty.

It's certainly a shocking number when you consider this used to be the number 2 company in America regularly pulling in over a million viewers.
