Ospreay AMA Announcement || Ric Flair AMA || James Ellsworth AMA || Raw vs. Smackdown Poll RESULTS FOR 11/2

/r/SquaredCircle or 'Wreddit' is a professional wrestling community driven by just that, the community. Come here to discuss pro wrestling in all its forms and factions.

Rules

Rule Description
Our Mission Statement Clear rules that help give the subreddit a balance of content. -- In addition please follow redditquette and reddit's site-wide rules.
Spoiler Policy No spoilers in titles for 24 hours after a show has aired. -- If your post contains spoilers put the tag [SPOILERS] at the START of your title and the show title.
Posts must be about wrestling "All link posts must be directly related to wrestling. Any link post not featuring wrestling itself, or in relation to a wrestling show or the wrestling industry, is subject to removal.
No image posts that are: memes/image macros i.e. an image with text on it done for comedic effect or with slight variation for the sake of a cheap laugh (if it can be found on /r/AdviceAnimals it doesn't belong here) or observations better suited to a text post.
Don't reply as a new post If you want to fix someone's post, or have a better example of what's been posted, tell us so in the comments, not by making a new post!
No spam or re-hosted content Always link to the original source and don't post re-hosted content. Only link to your own content if you contribute to the community.
Reposts and vague titles Obvious reposts and titles that are overly ambiguous will be deleted at the moderators' discretion. (e.g. "This Guy")
No Low-Effort Content Low-effort, single image link posts, including but not limited to, screenshots, crude photoshops, and MS paint-style artwork, are subject to removal. However, these may be posted as a self post with a description of the content.
No "Plot"/Sexual Content Posts focused on sexual content will be removed. /r/WrestleWithThePlot and /r/WrestleWithThePackage are better places for this content.
[Meta] posts Posts or submissions about the community itself are allowed as long as they follow the general rules of Squared Circle.
Text posts A text post should have sufficient text in its body to either strengthen the title, create discussion or add more information.
No Fake News /r/SquaredCircle has a very strict policy towards troll rumors (fake injury reports, releases, etc.) and those responsible for posting them are subject to being banned.
Moderator Discretion At any time the moderators will use discretion on any given rule. If they feel it's significant or unique to be up despite the rules. On the other hand, they also reserve the right to remove any post they feel breaks the rules. All of this can of course be appealed by messaging us.

Well done to whichever dipshit send Meltzer that. There was a chance that idiocy got quarantined here. Now everyone will see it. Slow clap to keeping wrestling fans looking like shitheads.
[–]T3chnocrat 10 points11 points12 points  (0 children)
I've always loved Mick. Was a huge fan of him as a kid. I legit cried when he won the title on RAW back in the day. I've read all of his books, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. The dude always was and always will be one of my heroes.
Seeing this hate train circlejerk really saddens me. Don't get me wrong, some people have some legitimate criticisms, and that's fine. But having someone go out of their way to accuse the poor guy of rape? Come on. There's criticism and then there's... that.
It's fucking sad on all accounts, and the person responsible should be fucking ashamed of him/herself.
[–]gift_of_goatseFUCK DAVID OTUNGA 23 points24 points25 points  (6 children)
its all because of holy foley
[–]Downbound92 9 points10 points11 points  (3 children)
People are so ridiculous with Holy Foley. The WWE Network is trying to have a stable of shows that appeal to everyone. If you don't like Holy Foley, don't watch it, it's not for you, but there are other subscribers who like it.
[–]Architect24 9 points10 points11 points  (0 children)
It's like RAW, people would rather piss and moan about how shitty it is and flood this place with WWE mark threads instead of just watching something else.
[–]TThomasThomasFight For-Never! 0 points1 point2 points  (1 child)
There were a few good segments, like with Foley and the Cell, but mostly it was garbage imo
[–]HotRock5Attitude 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Mick yelling at his son Dewey in a Santa suit without his dentures had me tears!!
[–]WakeupDpTed Mosby of the shield 12 points13 points14 points  (1 child)
Honestly tied for the worst show on the network with his comedy special.
[–]InZaintJohn 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I thought that was completely OK and harmless.

Not sure why so many people are hating on him now. From stories I've heard he's one of the nicest guys ever in wrestling backstage, on top of being a legend.
I think it was Cornette who said Foley was 'too nice to be in the wrestling business' or something like that.
I still love the guy and always will.
[–]RedwinevinoFinn BAElor 11 points12 points13 points  (8 children)
There was a thing a while back about his ripping off a T Shirt design that annoyed alot of people (rightly)
And he's got a reputation of loving money (true but not worth hating him over)
Some also think he's a bit of a creep with the women wrestlers (unfair I think, but I can see why people think it)
[–]truthordealPeter Goldschmidt -- Loser 4 Life! 8 points9 points10 points  (2 children)
My only real beef is with the third point. Foley's Facebook essays praising the women are no different than the dozens of reddit essays people wrote last year after both of the Sasha-Bayley Takeover matches.
[–]RedwinevinoFinn BAElor 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
I suppose there is a slight difference in him doing it as he's a old man and is a bit "handsy" on screen but more or less I agree
[–]naimnotnameKip Stern. 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
I like to think it's because he wants the place to be better for Noelle, so she doesn't end up like the women from the 2000s, over sexualized and not taken seriously.
[–]wwwes32have an ice day 3 points4 points5 points  (3 children)
Didn't he apologize profusely for the tshirt thing and do the right thing?
[–]RedwinevinoFinn BAElor 0 points1 point2 points  (2 children)
No idea, my memory is he said sorry but didn't give the creator any money, which could be wrong.
[–]wwwes32have an ice day 2 points3 points4 points  (1 child)
Apparently there was just a potential deal that went south, he modified the design (sort of better, actually), then said he donated the rest of the stock once he got called out. Not exactly his best moment, but sounds as if maybe there were issues on both sides. Maybe the price the guy wanted for the design plus production costs couldn't have been feasible for production.
[–]RedwinevinoFinn BAElor 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Oh shit, yeah that is fair
[–]InZaintJohn 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
It's just people pushing on their own thoughts to his words. All he does is praise them as workers and people, but some think there's only one reason he'd do that, which is funny considering these are probably the same people who literally cry for womens wrestling revolution.
[–]TThomasThomasFight For-Never! 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
what's the Shirt issue?
[–]Boktot 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I am pretty sure he is a great guy i just think his run as gm has been shit.
[–]KawadaSmilelovely 8 points9 points10 points  (1 child)
Wait what? Where did this come from?
[–]railrockrasslin.[S] 9 points10 points11 points  (0 children)
Probably the thread about Foley talking about the women's division with the guy on Twitter
[–]Ornan 3 points4 points5 points  (0 children)
Disgusting people. Absolutely disgusting.
[–]Thefatgatsby 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
That's a horrible rumour to make up about foley I mean sure he can't write anything on Facebook about wrestling without putting himself over but he is still a man with a family
Foley does so much good with anti rape organizations I hope this b.s story dont pick up too much steam
[–]snowshoeBBQSURVEY SEZ 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
Why even give the claim credibility by directly asking Meltzer about it? It was so painfully obvious that it was just bullshit trollilng.
[–]itcouldhappen1 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
What in the world?!
I'll always love Foley. I don't understand why anyone is hating on him. And who in the fuck said he raped someone?! That is freaking ridiculous. If you don't like Holy Foley or his comedy, just don't watch it... don't be an asshole about it.
[–]Icon212 6 points7 points8 points  (0 children)
Foley does come across weird at times, but holy shit we got some straight scum in this sub. Why would you go out your way to accuse someone of that?
[–]electron-shocklet me tell you sumthin' 1 point2 points3 points  (1 child)
That was one troll and someone(probably him) has now made it a "thing" that got the attention of Meltzer. Fucking disgusting. And poor Foley will probably see that and be devistated.
The mods need to do something. Ban that dude's IP and make some stricter rules so people just can't use this sub to spread lies. This makes all of us look like assholes.
[–]Drama79r/scjerk has better flairs 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Sub mods can't ban IPs. That would be a site-wide issue.
[–]IrishBrian420https://www.reddit.com/r/squaredcircleflair/wiki/flair 3 points4 points5 points  (2 children)
Fucking hell man...I don't know if I can keep coming on here if that is the type of shit getting thrown around. Fucking hell.
[–]Icon212 4 points5 points6 points  (1 child)
Mate I love this sub, but seriously coming on here can be a chore sometimes with the constant shit posting and overall negativity. This is just another case as to why this sub is down the shitter.
[–]IrishBrian420https://www.reddit.com/r/squaredcircleflair/wiki/flair 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
I love it too man, I can only take so much of shit like this though. What the fuck is wrong with people? How can somebody take this to such a personal level? I love Mick Foley, I haven't enjoyed his current run too much, but to take it to this level is just so crazy. Foley has literally worked for rape crisis organisations, one can only speculate what would drive him to do something that is as mentally taxing as that, but the dude is nothing but caring. Whoever said this shit deserves a good stiff punch in the jaw.
[–]Elfking88 1 point2 points3 points  (0 children)
I think it is a mixture of Holy Foley being god awful and the way his role is written on Raw.
There is no excusing making up a rumour like that tweet but I think a lot of people are disappointed that the "hardcore legend" is pretty much an interchangeable face on Raw. You could plug anyone in that role and they would do the same job, probably a better one.
Not excusing that horrible rumour or anything like that but the more moderate "I don't like what Foley is doing at the moment" posts probably boil down to the above.
[–]NotJeremyBenthamIt's fuckin' fake 4 points5 points6 points  (1 child)
If only he was on Smackdown :(
[–]Hardwayhal -3 points-2 points-1 points  (0 children)
Right? His writing wouldn't be atrocious and he'd likely have a character that fit him.
[–]lizzi_5775MLJ 2 points3 points4 points  (0 children)
"Omg he hugged Bayely?!" Has to be some sort or pervert....these asshole have to chill with the Foley hate
[–]Assassino101Agent of Meekmahan 1 point2 points3 points  (3 children)
I haven't seen that on here.
[–]Bowler_2010Because there's no godfather flair 1 point2 points3 points  (1 child)
It's sad that someone can have such a warped mind to make up such lies like that. I'm not a mod, nor do I want to tell them how to do their jobs, but there is no good reason this guy shouldn't be banned from Reddit.
[–]Sex_Ferguson 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
People are dicks when they can hide behind the internet. I bet this person wouldn't say shit if Mick was standing infront of them.
[–]a-listeraidan♪ Can't get you out of my heart ♪ 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I've only seen two specific users ever post about this, and I'm almost positive they were trolling. It was so unnecessary to tweet this to Meltzer because all it does is give these ridiculous claims a bigger audience.
[–]kwewe 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
I don't in anyway see how this is representative of the sub as a whole. I think most people here enjoy foley, find his show a little off or bad, and struggle with the tension between his current status with the company and his previous criticisms of the product.
[–]lyykiIndyKiller Baron Corbin 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
Is it a cirklejerk yet if 2 guys go around saying Foley seems like a rapist?
[–]Jack_PackaugeA HOOR FOR A GREAT CHOKESLAM 0 points1 point2 points  (0 children)
What arsehole spread this shit?! Normally I don't care for people making up shit, but Mick - although a bit weird with his relationships with women wrestlers - does not deserve this. I'm sickened someone would post that. Why? To "troll" the sub? To try and ruin Foley's reputation?
Whoever did it should be banned. That simple. Absolute fucking SCUM.
[–]King-Of-ZingTHE King of Zing -2 points-1 points0 points  (0 children)
Lol
[–]NeonPatrickWith a rebel yell -1 points0 points1 point  (0 children)
The guy making the accusations was obviously a troll. What meathead takes it seriously and sends a tweet to Meltzer?
This is idiocy at its finest and I hope Foley doesn't see it, but more morons will probably start tweeting him it.
