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.

Minor administrative update that I don't think anyone is going to argue with so I'm just gonna do it: I'm removing the references and link to kbin as our backup community from the sidebar. The site is dead, Ernest may be too by all appearances and his statement that he was gonna pass it off to someone else doesn't look like it ever actually came to pass.

It's clear at this point that we probably don't need a backup community anyway as lemmy.zip is managed quite well on the tech end.

[–] Brain 7 points 1 month ago

Definitely looks abandoned, the GitHub shows no updates in 7 months, the Kbin.pub site is also offline. I'll pour one out for it, it was my preferred instance, but it's dead and has been since before we left it apparently.

[–] Neon_Carnivore 6 points 1 month ago

Not surprising. I hope Ernest is okay, though. Despite how it ended up, it's still what got the ball rolling. Rest in peace, kbin. o7

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

kinda sad since i love symfony but i could never get federation to work between kbin and my server soooo. :(

If you want to torture yourself... on this night, July 18, 2024 former WWE CEO Linda McMahon will be giving a rah rah Trump speech at the RNC. She was seen talking with him at last nights We Love the Don Con. Hulk Hogan is also on today's list of speakers.

Edit: As is TKO's own Dana White.

Edit 2: Apparently, I like torture... I refused to watch the early parts with Linda, so no idea what she did. But Brother let me tell you something Brother Jack, Trumpamania is gonna run wild on America and make it great again, and more schlocky bullshit. Hulk Hogan was fired up and out of breath, he has been followed up with by Franklin Graham... a televangelist nepobaby who thanks God for saving Trump from that bullet so he can make America remember it's Freedoms. I may or may not return for the Dana White.

Ya know, today's my birthday, if I have to add that to today's possible festivities I'm gonna rank it just below 'rubbing my scrotum on a mandoline and having sashimi for brunch' on the possibility scale.

Maybe a couple spots lower.

lmao.

[–] Montagge 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Happy Birthday!

[–] GeekFTW 5 points 1 month ago

Merci.

[–] Neon_Carnivore 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Happy birthday, bro.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Happy birthday friend! Thank you for keeping this place running, sometimes it's all that gets me through the day, and I appreciate you a whole hell of a lot for it!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Happy, late, birthday Geek!

[–] GeekFTW 3 points 1 month ago

Thank!

also for no reason whatsoever i'd just like to remind everyone that famous wrestler hulk hogan (real name terry gene bollea) sued gawker to silence them after they revealed a video tape of him showing how much he hated black people.

I was at North's Thunderstruck 2 show at the weekend, see the full card below, which was at the same venue as TNA's Turning Point in 2023.

Really solid show front to back, and while I'm somewhat biased, they continue to put on some of the best live shows I've seen. If you have Fite+ (or whatever it's called now) you'll be able to watch it there in a week or so.

Card was as follows:

  • Team Faust (Henry Faust, Kegstacker, Lou Nixon & Trent Seven) vs. Team Kayman (Kemper, Myles Kayman, Reece & Rogan)
  • Mark Haskins (w/Vicky Haskins) vs. Michael Oku (w/Amira)
  • Allie Katch (GCW) vs. Debbie Keitel vs. Natalie Sykes vs. Eve Bateman
  • Elijah vs. Joe Hendry (TNA) - including a live performance from Elijah
  • Emersyn Jayne & Rhio (c) vs. Rampage Brown & Will Kroos vs. Landed Gentry (Benji & Zeo Knox) vs. Post Modern Sick Boys (Liam Slater & Rory Coyle) - TLC Match for the NORTH Tag Team Title
  • Gene Munny & Grado (ICW) vs. Lykos Gym (Kid Lykos & Kid Lykos II)
  • Miyu Yamashita (TJPW) vs. Lizzy Evo
  • Clint Margera (c) vs. Ace Matthews - NORTH Ultraviolent Title
  • Leon Slater (c) (TNA) vs. Man Like DeReiss - NORTH Title
[–] GeekFTW 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That sounds like a good damn show!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Yeah, was really good, Leon vs DeReiss was incredible.

I feel like I say this after every match, but Leon just gets better and better. TNA are so lucky to have him.

They got the full timelapse for Canvas posted! https://youtu.be/Xs7ZXMTnrvA

[–] Brain 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did anybody scan that QR code? I'm somewhat curious but not enough to scan it because this is the internet.

[–] GeekFTW 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The one on the left, unless if changed, led to some animal rights kind of site/video (the usual 'look how the animals are mistreated' type iirc). Least that's what I recall someone saying on the Canvas Matrix chat. The right, no clue.

[–] Brain 2 points 1 month ago

The one on the left is Dominion the Movie, a PETA like thing about how meat bad, animals treated bad, don't eat meat. The one on the right is Elwoods Dog Meat, which is the same idea, you wouldn't eat a dog, why eat other animals. If I used my phones camera as it will show me the domain it's going to without going, then I searched the domain name to get a summary of what they were.
