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

The Rock's return and the road to WrestleMania 40 has been fantastic, but it wasn't the way it was originally planned.

I had been going back and forth on whether the whole thing was the story that was planned out from the start or not. Both make sense, and even with how they have gone now it easily lends itself to The Rock v Roman in the near future as if it was the plan.

Night 1, Rock pins Cody in the tag match setting up the Bloodline Rules match. (I donโ€™t see Seth being involved in the fall and Cody pinning Roman then wouldnโ€™t seem right. He could pin Rock but then Rock is the Final Boss, not the one up under him. Anyway, Bloodline Rules match just puts that bit more uncertainty that with all the Bloodline involved Cody wonโ€™t win. However, he has to, to finish the story, so with some help (possibly Cody and Jey) he wins the title on Night 2. Now the easy set up for Rock V Roman. Rock comes out, demands the Bloodline come to the ring and then asks Roman how he managed to lose when he (The Rock) had set it all up perfectly for him to retain. Cue a brawl, Rock is face again and they can have a Match either at SummerSlam or the next big event.
