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 or just link the content in the body of the post.

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/comments may be removed at the discretion of the moderation team.

Raven has opened up on struggling with early-onset Parkinson's Disease -- a condition he alluded to having earlier this year. The WWE, WCW and ECW favorite credits drinking, drug use and multiple chair shots to the head as the likely reasons he's afflicted with the condition.

Raven stopped by The Ariel Helwani Show earlier today (October 8) to promote his new documentary, Nevermore: The Raven Effect. He spoke to the MMA and combat sports journalist about his health and the regrets he has from his past.

"I think it shows me and it shows all my complexity throughout my life," Raven said about the documentary. "But now that I'm content or basically as content as I've ever been... other than this stupid tremor I got from the Parkinson's. I've got early-onset Parkinson's so if you see me tremor that's why, but other than that I don't think [the documentary] really touches enough on my current life to do any damage to it."

"I'm lucky it hasn't affected me too bad," Raven expanded on his health. "When I get anxious the tremor gets worse or when I'm really tired... and I have a sleep disorder... but look, you got to pay the piper sometime. For all the drugs and alcohol and chair shots I took to the head, you know, you've got to pay for the damage at some point."

"I've got tons of regrets. Anybody who says they don't have regrets is full of shit. I've got tons of regrets, I've got tons of things I would've done differently, but I didn't. It made me who I am and I'm happy with who I am. I would rather be happy with who I am at the end of my life than be happy earlier in my life and not happy at the end. So many people's lives, they come to misfortune at the end and that would be the worst thing you could have happen. I want my golden years to be golden, not shit, right?"

That would also involve wrestling fans having some level of reflection..
