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.

So we are watching old WW(F)E, and they have this generic ass masked wrestler named The Patriot. He's in a feud with Bret Hart. I was quite surprised when I heard his music. Turns out, Kurt Angle's music is reused

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Brock Lesnars music is reused too. It was originally the XFL Chicago Enforcers music they used when the whole team would take to the field in home games.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is amazing lmao. I love some good trivia

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Jerry Lawler is reused too. Originally it was Harley Race.

Oooh oooh, and CM Punk used to come out to "This Fire Burns", but before that it was used one time, for one night, by Randy Orton. Orton didn't feel it was a good fit though.

Orton was sick of his generic sounding song that just kept saying "HEY!". Guess he was hearing those voices in his head.....

And that's how CM Punk got his first wwe theme.

HBK is known for his theme "sexy boy", but it's actually the second version of that song. The first version had Sherri Martell singing a shortened, but mostly the same version of the same lyrics.

I'll probably post more of these as I remember them. I know hulk hogans real american is reused, but I can't remember who originally had it.

Burn in My Light wasn't so bad. I think overall I preferred it to Voices. But WWE's version did have a several heys in it. The actual song has I want to say 5 total, but WWE's edit had about 7 in the first minute and a half.

Orton didn't feel it was a good fit though.

My understanding was that the company didn't like it for him.

It should also be noted he doesn't like Voices either.

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

Hell yeah, keep 'em coming! I don't have as easy access to YouTube as I once did, so I haven't been getting my info dumps like I like to turn on

I didn't realize Randy had that song first. That's funny. I knew Sherri had done a version of Sexy Boy, but was hazy on the details. Lawler's is new to me, but I can't even think of his music right now

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Lawlers doesn't have lyrics, so it's hard to describe.

It's like HUUUUUUU HUUUUUUUUUU HUUUU HU HUUU HUUUUUUUUUUU HUUUU HUUUU HUUUUU HUUU HU HU HU HU

If that were a trumpet, and sounding royal.

Wait until you get to CHOPPY CHOPPY YO PEEPEE!!!

And then the next week, with John Bobbitt.

Then you'll look up who John Bobbitt was.......and hooboy. It certainly is a thing that happened.....

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

I know of the actual story. They did a storyline of that?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Omg.....I don't know how you've never heard of it, and I don't even want to spoil it. This is like the time I got to show my friend Hogzn vs HBK at summerslam, with them going in blind.

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

It almost sounds vaguely familiar, but no, I don't recall it. I was able to show my partner the Shawn Michael's and Hogan fight. So great to be able to show that to someone new

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

Good ol Del Wilkes. He was around a bunch of places back then before WWF, went to Japan after and back to WWF for a bit again. Just died a few years ago iirc.

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

Oh, I had never heard of him when I looked to see who was under the mask. I don't care for this character

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

Yeah its kind of one dimensional in fairness.
