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.

Was it a gimmick? A faction? Storyline? What weird fucking spooky shit in pro wrestling tops your lists.

Or..do you just hate the spooky shit and prefer your wrestling to just be straight faced and logical?

Either way, tell us!

At a local show I went to, they had a dragged to hell match.

It was basicay a bunch of extras in masks hiding under the ring. If you fall out of the ring they try to grab you and pull you under. You have to get back in the ring quickly.

The person that gets dragged under the ring loses.

It was fun and they added lots of fog. I wish I could find a video of it.

Edit: I found a fan video but it’s from the worst angle and you don’t see the demons under the ring. But you get the gist of it. I don’t think the company put out the video for it yet.

How has WWE never done this with the Undertaker???

Oh my god. I CANNOT stop laughing at this.

When the video first starts, you get the impression that it will be 50-100 people in the crowd. Then they pan over during the entrance, and there's at least 1000 people, but 90% probably can't see shit.

And it's just a dude with a JC Penny collection towel on his head. Then he takes it off, and it's just a comically bad halloween mask.

Then the other guy comes out, and his face paint actually looks really good. But he's joined by the ensamble cast of extras, straight from your local haunted corn maze attraction.

The whole thing is sponsered by Spirit Halloween. I mean, I assume anyways.

Then a fog machine starts, all of this with the lights ON mind you! And the screaming woman is WAAAAAAAAY more enthusiastic about a guy just standing in the ring doing nothing, than I ever have been for anything in my life.

I was going to make the joke that these people must be COMPLETELY wasted. Then I saw the banner. Bash at the Brew. Sooooo, they actually ARE super wasted.

And then I saw the video title. I was expecting this happened late last October. To go along with the Halloween theme.

Nope. This was August of this year. I can't even make it to the start of the match. I'm just laughing so hard at EVERYTHING. Its all just so great unintentional comedy. I keep expecting the camera to pan over, and Jim Halpert to just look at the camera...

Hey, the promotion finally released the video today. The dragged to hell match, but from the company itself instead of the shitty angle from before

Found a fan video from a bad angle. Would put the volume down a bit since they just scream into the mic most of the match.

Sounds like a great alternative to the standard lumberjack match!
