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.

John Cena Says He Would’ve Got Hair Transplant A Decade Ago If There Was Not So Much Shame Around It (www.fightful.com)

“I saw their signs that said ‘The bald John Cena.’ They pushed me into going to see what my options were. I now have a routine: red-light therapy, minoxidil, vitamins, shampoo, conditioner — and I also got a hair transplant last November. I hate the fact that if there wasn’t so much shame around it, I’d have gotten it done 10 years ago. I thought I was alone, but seven or eight out of 10 (men) suffer from thinning or baldness. They don’t do anything except move your hair, one by one, from one area to another. If somebody’s going to sweat me for that, I don’t think there’s any shame in that. It completely changed the course of my life.”

Stupidly Relevant Bill Burr Joke

[–] MudMan@fedia.io 0 points 9 months ago

There's no shame in it, and hey, if you're an actor you manage your looks like business assets because they are.

But also, man, you can just shave and be done with it. Seriously, it just slots next to brushing your teeth every morning and you don't have to ever think about it ever again. If there was a shaving equivalent for every other thing that makes men insecure I genuinely believe we'd live in a perfect utopia instead of a fascist hellscape.

Call me a woke snowflake libtard, but surely if 70 to 80% of any demographic suffer with anything then that's a systems issue?

Shut up, you woke snowflake libtard!

MMPBGA!

But in all seriousness, male pattern baldness can range from a general thinning, to changes like elevated widows peaks, to concentrated areas like John had. Suffer can be* a strange term to use, as it doesn’t cause physical pain - but an argument could definitely be made for emotional/psychic pain.

[–] hellothere@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

Oh sure, I get that. What I'm saying is that emotional pain comes from a culture that denies aging (and/or yknow rampant PED use) rather than accepts it.
