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

6mo and she's back on NWA as a surprise challenger for the title. I'll let her prove me wrong, but I won't be surprised.
We need a disappointment title
I thought the Saudi belts were the disappointment titles?
I mean, isn't that the NWA title?
God dammit. I remember a time when the NWA title was equal to, or greater than the WWE/WWF title, depending on who you were talking to.
Now, your local indy may have a more important title than the NWA title.
It's like you remember being a kid, and your uncle was 20, and was hard working, and held an important job. He was SO cool! And now, you're in your 40s, and your uncle works at a car wash, and sells crack in the ally, and couch surfs because he's technically homeless, and all anyone can do is shake their heads in disappointment like tsk tsk tsk tsk. But he still shows up at thanksgiving for the free food, and spouts off racist shit while drunk, and everybody just feels uneasy around him.
That's the NWA right now.
Pretty much, yeah. It's sad how far they've fallen.
Is this personal due to politics or story stuff? Because my opinion is different based on both. If story, good, weave the disappoint of her personal posts into it without putting a spotlight on that.
If it's political, that's a bad reason to fire someone, she posted an anti-abortion tweet (unless there was more, I missed), she wasn't say storming the Capitol building like some prominent AEW champion's wife. I'm not advocating her tweet, I am advocating that if she is fired for her political actions, it should apply even to the big prominent guy too.
It's probably in AEW's best interest to toss her on Rampage until the contract runs out if they don't want to use her. That would avoid the "wrestler claims they were fired for politics" headlines and the potential for Governor Desantis or WWE Hall of Famer Trump using her as an example of bias.
If it’s political, that’s a bad reason to fire someone, she posted an anti-abortion tweet (unless there was more, I missed), she wasn’t say storming the Capitol building like some prominent AEW champion’s wife. I’m not advocating her tweet, I am advocating that if she is fired for her political actions, it should apply even to the big prominent guy too.
She should definitely not be fired for her politics, I agree. But this wasn't 'her politics', so much as 'posting shitty stuff on the internet, political or not, which can reflect poorly on the employer'.
TK knows he has several shitboxes who work for him and like almost every employer likely does not care as long as she performs her job as required, but once you publicly open your mouth it becomes a different issue, especially if their contracts have some kind of morality clause (which I doubt extensively they do in this business outside of actual employees, but you get my point).
She can be as shit as she wants, but she needs to do it quietly.
They also wont be able to toss her on Rampage since Rampage will be ending in like a few months iirc, long before the first year of her contract runs out, let alone the 3rd.
also lets not forget its the same sasha banks that did lots of anti mask and anti vax stuff
(not saying that ppl cant change but)
