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.

@GeekFTW I knew the ratio was bad but not this bad

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

Yep. Faces only had the Intl and World titles prior to WrestleDream.

@GeekFTW This would be an interesting graph to track per promotion.

Whoever is a heel or face changes from week to week and segment to segment at AEW though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'd say the one most likely to turn face soon would be Takeshita. With Fletcher's (and by extension Carny Hot Dog's) betrayal of Ospreay, there's potential for further shake ups in the DCF.

As to who will be dropping their championship first, probably Okada, as the next Continental Classic should be starting soon.

The Continental title doesn't need to be a title. It should be a trophy, or a ring. But they already have the diamond ring.....

The continental classic is great. The continental title is worthless.

They should merge the International title with the TNT title.

They should merge the womens title with the TBS title.

The FTW is like the one belt that DIDN'T need to be retired, other than having TOO MANY belts. It was the only title that was different.

I'd love to see the ROH pure title get some love. Thats the best title in all of wrestling.

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

The FTW belt was never an officially recognized title in AEW, and it's retirement with Hook as its last holder is the perfect symbolism for Hook "graduating" and pursuing greater challenges. Whether AEW capitalizes on this narrative has yet to be seen.

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

That was what made it cool. I mean, really, what's the difference between the International title, and the TNT title, besides corporate branding?

The FTW belt had it's own outlaw thing going on.

And I'm not even sure WHAT the continental title is supposed to represent....

Jack Perry doesn't look like a heel, he looks like a bottom.
