This is the "official" Fediverse community for all things pro wrestling!

Come discuss pro wrestling! Any company or era is welcome.

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.

Zero Hour

  • Trent Beretta
  • Katsuyori Shibata & Orange Cassidy
  • Bullet Club Gold

Main Card

  • Hook
  • Kyle O’Reily
  • Kazuchika Okada
  • Toni Storm (w/Luther & Mariah May)
  • Adam Copeland, Eddie Kingston & Mark Briscoe
  • The Young Bucks
  • Willow Nightingale (w/Stokely Hathaway)
  • Will Ospreay
  • Swerve Strickland (w/Prince Nana)

Thoughts

  • I know they're trying to build STP, but I still think Shibata & OC will win just so they can trade another round of matches between them.
  • I'm assuming Kyle O’Reily wins after surviving heavy Kingdom interference, to establish a Kyle vs Kingdom feud.
  • They ain't gonna make Okada lose this quick after basically young-lioning a load of enhancement talent.
  • Thunder Rosa πŸ’©
  • House of Black need to take an L against the team of fan favourites.
  • Young Bucks win the match with some cheap bullshit, FTR win Jungle Scapegoat's heart ❀️
  • Willow wins so she can lose the title to MonΓ© later and mirror their NJPW Strong match. Statlander teases her upcoming turn to Trent's side.
  • The BillyGOAT does some excellent flippy stuff that'll get clipped and trend on Xitter.

I'm really torn on just how many belts can change hands. I can totally see Willow wining and Mone taking it off her. Same with Pac and Okada to set up Death Triangle vs The Elite.

I'm really excited for what happens, and am very annoyed I won't see it until later in the week.

[–] GeekFTW 4 points 4 months ago

Least we know belts could change hands (still bitter bout 8 BOTB's in a row over here lol).

Willow makes the most sense with the Mone stuff, but I also see them keeping it on Julia and having Willow lose cause of Mone or maybe Stat. Same with O'Reily, I want him winning it but I'm not sure if they wanna pull it off Strong yet, but they could.

FTR is the only one I feel 100% saying they get the titles cause bucks/omega are prime for trios, which means whoever wins the trios will drop to them within 2mo max lol.

Trent Beretta (just turned heel, definitely not losing)

Katsuyori Shibata & Orange Cassidy (but I wouldn't be mad at all about an STP upset)

Billy Gunn & The Acclaimed (Honestly, tough call. But I gotta say Acclaimed, because Jay White would be a hell of a title feud for Swerve)

Hook (if they fucking know better)

Roderick Strong

Kazuchika Okada

Toni Storm

House Of Black (since it's non-title, HoB gets the dub, then we get singles matches for the various titles later)

The Young Bucks

Willow Nightingale

Will Ospreay (due to Carny Hotdog shenanigans, then Ospreay either starts teaming with Danielson, and/or starts feuding with Carny Hotdog Family)

Swerve Strickland (because I want it to happen)

Zero Hour

  • Trent
  • STP
  • BCG πŸ”« πŸ‘†

Main card

  • Hook
  • Roddy
  • Okada (sad Geordie noises)
  • Toni - I've said previously it would be Rosa, then Hayter, to mirror what came before, but taking the belt off Toni right now is just the wrong move
  • HoB demonic prayer circle
  • Bucks - given FTR Armed's pending trial it would be stupid AF to put the belts on them
  • Julia
  • Ospreay
  • Swerve!
