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.

This was pretty jarring to read, as someone that didn't have any context. It starts with "We are people, not bots", followed by advertising, and more advertising, and a second tweet that is entirely advertising. I was waiting for more discussion about our shared humanity, or maybe an apology or something that I could actually form an opinion about, but it never came. Having the tweets displayed by my screen feels quite alienating.
I didn't even notice that this was about wrestling until I recognized that the community logo has a wrestling ring. I do not know anything about wrestling and don't consume any media related to it.
"We are people, not bots" - I cannot give exact context for, as I am not on twitter, but twitter users are notoriously hostile toward anything related to AEW (All Elite Wrestling) due to tribalism or other idiotic reasons.
As for the rest, AEW recently announced that their two flagship shows, Dynamite, which airs Wednesday nights on TBS, and Collision, which airs Saturday nights on TNT, will also be simulcast on MAX (formerly HBO Max) beginning in 2025. In addition, they announced that previous AEW shows will be available to stream on demand on Max, but on a "rolling basis" starting with the 2019 episodes of AEW Dynamite.
But that was the extent of the announcement, nothing was mentioned about previous or upcoming Pay Per View events, or what exactly "rolling basis" meant for streaming availability of older episodes.
These tweets are meant to answer questions or clear up misconceptions about that.
Some of us within our community were wondering about these specific details these tweets mentioned, so we didn't really need context. Unfortunately, we have little to no control of what makes it to the front pages of users outside our community (typically it's our "Meme Monday" threads that get outside attention).
