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.

A while back I listened to an interview with Pentagon Jr. (now Penta in WWE) saying that hiding your identy isn't quite what it used to be as now fans are so in on it that the recognize you by your tatoos and your moves.

I've thought about that an unhealthy amount since then. There is a bunch of good reasons to be a masked luchador, not the least of which is fans not recognizing you at your real job as a bag boy at the grocery store. None of those reasons, however, seem to make sense to get tatoos. I know the younger kids these days see tatoos as a right of passage or something, but I would think you'd want to avoid them if you are going to be a real life super hero.

I wouldn't abstain per se, but I do feel I would get tattoo's in less visible places (that being when I'm out-of-mask/ring gear I'm wearing clothing that covers up anything obvious).

Before I knew Jon Cruz was Serpentico (and while too lazy to google it then) I spent a while trying to compare the tattoo he has on his right forearm (which is 90% covered by the wrists pieces he wears for his gear lol)
