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.

Britt Baker was recently suspended by AEW following a backstage incident (Updates as they come) (x.com)

“Britt Baker was suspended for either one or two weeks and fined by the company’s disciplinary committee.

Details have been kept pretty quiet. It came from something backstage at the 7/17 Dynamite where Baker allegedly said something about MJF and Alicia Atout, MJF’s girlfriend heard it and told him and he confronted Baker.

This led to an investigation with HR talking to people on 7/24 and I believe the disciplinary committee that did the investigation recommended that. I don’t know if Tony Khan was or wasn’t involved in this and everyone was attempting to keep this under wraps. This all stems from problems in the past that weren’t addressed and a committee was put together to settle these things quickly. Most of those we heard from were sympathetic to her in this situation.”

The full quote on the story for anyone who cares.

Edit: Sean Ross Sapp saying he has “a lot more” on the MJF & Britt argument.

Second Edit: The Fightful Report:

  • Britt Baker reportedly “exercised frustration” backstage in the women’s locker room about MJF which Alicia Atout overheard and told MJF.

  • As per the report from Fightful, there was a confrontation between Britt Baker and Alicia Atout, additionally there was one between MJF and Baker.

  • Will Ospreay reportedly became involved and spoke with Baker.

  • Baker reportedly “took issue” with Atout telling MJF what she had said about him in the locker room.

  • This prompted an investigation with a suspension being levied at Baker.

  • Baker is reportedly still planned to wrestle at AEW All In.

Regardless of the reasoning, quite glad to see the 'a committee was put together to settle these things quickly.' part. No month long investigation, no quibbling and online bullshit, just "you fucked up, you're an idiot, go home, now" the way it should be.
