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)/Websites.

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.

Also due to technical issues, bigotry/extremism, and various other issues, we do not accept URL submissions from the following websites:

  • Twitter/X (Please use Nitter, xcancel, or submit a screenshot if you are unable to source a non Twitter/X url)

Any posts violating these rules may be removed.

Before Mina officially leaves Stardom, and Tam's seemingly impending retirement, Unagi joined them for one last in-ring dance as the original members of Cosmic Angels.

Like, it looks legit. AI generated you think? I can't imagine MLW could afford to pay an artist for a throwaway gimmick like this

"The CMLL poster says Lluvia versus Reyna Isis is not a lightning match. It is 'as asked for by the public.' Who are these people who asked? Why would they ask for this? Yutani escapes the Okumura zone for one night, though that’ll be a Volcano heavy match. The Pequeno Sky Team gets another shot at putting it together on a Friday night."

Per SRS, both women were shooting back and forth according to everyone he asked, and from what I read WWE has heavily edited the segment afterwards for future replays, so the full OG segment is above should anyone wanna compare.

Edit: per PWI:

The Smackdown face-off with Charlotte Flair and Tiffany Stratton went well off the planned back and forth verbiage, PWInsider.com is told by several sources.

Towards the end of the segment, there were references made by Stratton about Flair being "alone" and "0-3" outside the ring, which was an allusion to her divorces, followed by Flair asking why Stratton's signifigant other, Ludwig Kaiser, was in Flair's DMs.

The belief among those we've spoken with this morning is that Stratton fired away on Flair in retaliation for how Flair "ate her up" on a previous face to face segment

Some we spoke with felt Stratton stood up for herself in a way that put the spotlight back on her (and in front of a Chicago crowd was sincerely pro-Stratton) while others felt that the segment going awry towards the end didn't help anyone.

Several we spoke to also noted that Flair was obviously thrown by the crowd, which allowed Stratton's shots to hit even harder.

Flair's final comment about Kaiser came after Stratton had already rolled out of the ring and began exiting the arena. One source referred to it as coming off like "a flailing shot from a boxer who didn't realize they were KO'd" and that Flair was obviously "gotten to', according to one source.

Several of the comments made were cut from WWE's YouTube highlights of the segment. No word yet whether the VOD version of Smackdown will also reflect those edits.

On the road to Nanae Takahashi's retirement, an old Stardom regular appeared today and declared she wishes to fight Nanae on their April 27th show.

SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER

TitleKevin Owens, who last wrestled at the 3/1 Elimination Chamber PPV, announced on tonight's Smackdown that he has been dealing with a neck issues for four months and it was finally determined he would need neck surgery.

It was announced he would miss Wrestlemania 41 and his match against Randy Orton at the PPV is off.

More as we confirm.

Source: PWInsider

Late Night Update

TitleTo respond to the MASSIVE amount of emails we have received since Smackdown went off the air, all accounts that we have heard is that the neck issues Kevin Owens spoke about in his promo are 100% legitimate.

One WWE source described the situation as "awful", noting that Owens is expected to get surgery as he mentioned in the promo.

Another source said the word among talents tonight was that Owens was looking at fusion surgery in the future.

There's no word if and when Owens could return.

For those who have asked if the announcement was a work, the reaction among those we've spoken to in the company has been sympathy and sadness for Owens, not that this was storyline.

That's what Fletcher did recently when he appeared on Good Karma Wrestling and spoke about his relationship with the former AEW International Champion and what it means to work alongside him.

"My husband Takeshita. What can I say about him? He’s beautiful, for one. Real nice cock on him, too. I’m kidding. Kidding, kidding. Apart from myself, he’s the person I enjoy watching in the ring the most. He has that style that is obviously influenced by Japanese wrestling and I love Japanese wrestling. It’s that sports aspect and sports presentation. When he throws a forearm, I think he’s killed someone. That is a lot of what is missing in today’s wrestling and something that I try to capture myself. When I watch Takeshita, I’m going, ‘He’s killing some people. Wow,'" Fletcher said.

While Fletcher is not scheduled for a match at the upcoming AEW Dynasty pay-per-view, he will be teaming up with his "husband" on Saturday's AEW Collision, as the two family members take on Powerhouse Hobbs and Tomorhiro Ishii.
