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.

Based on this I was expecting the quote to be horrible, but it's not that bad, it's something you would expect of these types. And it's not completely wrong, somebody somewhere likes his charisma because he sure as shit is a cult leader.

“I think Trump’s ability… like him or hate him the way he does it… but he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes getting under peoples skin, generating [heat]. It’s amazing and it’s genius, and it worked in our business — There’s a lot of billionaires in the world, why was he the most famous one, why was he the one that was in People Magazine every week and with everybody under the sun, why was he seen as the epitome of that billionaire status, because of his charisma and his character and who he is, and the way he can speak about it do and do all those things, he just captivates people.” (quote courtesy of @WrestleOps)

I agree it's shitty, but not shocking. WWE under Vince was heavily involved with Donald, Vince's wife works for Donald destroying the US Education system, let alone the rest of the country, Triple H sat behind her during her senate hearing, Dana White has been his friend for years, Joe Rogan also a Trump friend, Ari Emmanuel long time Trump friend, WME has ties to JD Vance as they publish his book... I mean if you thought TKO was some kind of paragon of decent morals...

"Come on Man" - Joseph R. Biden.

Really, billionaires (including fake ones with ugly spray tans) and billion dollar companies are bastards.

Edit: An addendum, Triple H is not "running the company," he is their public face though and it's fair game to target that public face for bullshit stuff like this.

Did I say I was surprised by any of this?
