I've been kicking around an idea these last few weeks and I figured it was time to get community input:

We already have Meme Monday, and as wrestling fans, we've all played "armchair booker" at some point. So how would you wrestlefriends feel about "Fantasy Booking Friday"? Every Friday, a challenge would be presented for a fictional storyline or premium live event. Challenges can be realistic, comedic, or somewhere in between, as can submissions.

Example challenges:

Realistic: How would you book a WCW vs WWF show in 1995? Extra stipulation: Vince refuses to let any his guys wrestle Hulk Hogan, how would WCW counter?

Comedic: Using a wormhole in time, Paul Heyman books an ECW vs GCW show. Extra stipulation: Paul E. is forced to make chicken salad out of chicken shit when he realizes the wormhole connects only to WWECW.

In between: Tony Khan announces the new "AEW Jobber Division", with it's own championship. Extra stipulation: only wrestlers with negative win/loss records are eligible, meaning the Jobber Champion will have to forfeit the title if they have too many successful defenses.

Would you guys be interested in this? Or at least trying it out for a few weeks?

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).

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:
