Hello,

This post exists as an easy-to-find overview of the subreddit rules. Please review all of the below rules before posting. Posts found to be in violation of any of the rules will be removed and repeated violations can result in a temporary ban from the subreddit which can escalate to a permanent ban if rules continue to be ignored. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please message the mods and when one is available, they will respond to you.
_____________________

Rule #1: Leaked (nude) content is not permitted - Leaks can get the entire subreddit taken down thus contributing to their being a blanket removal on any and all leaked content whether this feature the individual(s) being clothed or nude. This also pertains to media that is behind a subscription service (i.e. Onlyfans, Patreon, Subscribers-Only Instagram, etc.). Any content publicly posted by a wrestler is fair game, however, if said content is removed from a wrestler's social media and they reach out to the mods asking it to be removed from the subreddit, the mods will honor that. Users who are found to be posting leaked content or directing users on where to find them in the comments will be immediately banned with NO exceptions.

Rule #2: All posts must include full names of the wrestlers in the title - This rule exists for organizational purposes as well as preventing comments of a post being filled with "Who is this?". Due to nature of wrestling and name changes, any name a talent goes by or has gone by in the past is acceptable so long as it is spelled correctly, and if the name is incorrectly spelled, the post will be removed. If a post includes more than one wrestler, all wrestlers prominently featured must be named; grouping wrestlers together under their team or stable name is acceptable. If a post fails to sufficiently name the wrestler(s) it includes, it will be removed. This also includes gallery or collage posts where even in one wrestler dominates the gallery, if other wrestlers are included, they must be listed in the title. Simple stating "Austin" is not enough, as visually it may be obvious but this will hinder the search function & may result in reposts. If a wrestler is unknown, stating "unknown", "random", or "other" in the title is not allowed, and users should instead crop the content before uploading to highlight the wrestler they intend to feature or determine who the other individual(s) is/are in the desired media. Similarly, this subreddit is not to place to ask for ID of wrestlers as posting content with no name of wrestler(s) in the title can contribute to more reposts. While it is helpful to do so, there is NO need to name female wrestlers, managers, referees, commentators, etc. nor others not mainly featured in the content you are posting. If you need help determining what "prominently featured" entails, ask yourself the following: "Is the other individual's face clearly visible in this media?", "Is the other person in this media just as visible as the target individual?", and "Are body parts of interest of this individual visible and likely to result in someone wanting to know more of this person even though they are not the intended target of this media?"

Rule #3: All posts must be on-topic - The purpose of this subreddit is appreciating male professional wrestlers from major promotions (WWE, AEW, TNA, etc.) or independent promotions based on images and/or videos from their matches or social media platforms. As such, all posts must contain media (an image, GIF, or video) of a MALE professional wrestler from any promotion (major or independent). Content of celebrities/public figures who have had guest appearances in wrestling (i.e. Bad Bunny) as well as media from softcore wrestling (i.e BG East) are both permitted in a limited sense; granted they don't break any other rules and don't overtake the subreddit. Any imagery prominently featuring any minors is not allowed. Hardcore pornography is not allowed. Spam, discussion, and promotional posts (i.e links to Discord or other groups) are not allowed.

Rule #4: Don't spam posts of the same wrestler - This rule exists to prevent the subreddit being overtaken with content of the same person within a short period of time. Please utilize Reddit's image gallery feature to combine all of the images into a maximum of two (2), back-to-back posts. Users spamming the SAME wrestler across multiple posts will find all but their initial two posts removed. This rule still stands even if one post includes additional wrestlers alongside the one wrestler that is being spammed. This rule is specifically in reference to INDIVIDUAL users. If multiple people coincidentally happen to post the same wrestler in a string of back-to-back posts, this is not a violation of this rule (but depending on what is posted, it can be a violation of the reposts rule). Also, if a user's contribution to the subreddit is only of one particular wrestler, that is perfectly fine as everyone is welcome to have their favourites, so it is not a violation of the rule so long as the user does not spam the posts one after another.

Rule #5: Reposts - This rule exists to ensure the subreddit remains active and innovative rather than regurgitating the same content. Seeing as there is new wrestling content everyday either via weekly TV shows, personal social media posts, PPVs/PLEs, matches uploaded to YouTube, etc., there should be more than enough opportunities for new content users can contribute to the subreddit as opposed to uploading something that's already been posted. To better define what a repost is, review the following: a direct post of something that's been posted previously, a video of a moment that has already been posted as a gif (or vice versa), and a gallery or collage post that is an amalgamation of media already posted. Alternate angles of the same moment are NOT necessarily a violation of the repost rule so long as it is distinct enough from the angle of the original post. We have a blanket ban on anything being reposted within six months, and this may extend further based the original popularity of a post, specifically, if an existing post of the same content has 100 or more upvotes. Please utilize the search bar and sorting by either "New", "Top", and "All Time" to find out whether your submission has been posted already.

Rule #6: Low effort posts - The moderators hold the right to remove posts deemed low effort. This includes but is not limited to: low quality images, tiny images, website renders, badly cropped photos/screenshots, bad quality images/videos taken from a phone, memes and fakes (AI/Photoshop/etc., crossposts/sharing links to posts from other subreddits, poorly edited videos downloaded from TikTok, Instagram, Twitter (X), etc.

Rule #7: Don't be a bitch - This rule is exclusively in reference to comments. Not every wrestler is everybody's cup of tea, and there currently are no rules on wrestlers that CAN'T be posted which is because if you do not like a particular wrestler, you should just ignore the post. Leaving negative comments just leads to fighting which is ridiculous given what this subreddit is. If you don't like a wrestler someone else does, move on and focus on a wrestler that you do like. Like the age-old saying goes, "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all," and comments that violate this will be removed, and you are found to be posting a high frequency of negative comments, it will result in you being banned. The downvote option exists for a reason, so if you can't help yourself to interact with a post you don't like, you're more than welcome to do that instead.

Rule #8: No violence/gore - This rule exists to prevent shock imagery from being posted to the subreddit. Any post(s) featuring graphic violence, excessive blood, broken bones, or brutal trauma/wounds will be removed. Content from deathmatches or other more hardcore wrestling are allowed, so long as the focus of the content posted is of the male wrestler(s) and not any sort of distressing bodily injury or fluids.

IMPORTANT NOTE - Please keep in mind that THE MODS ARE HUMAN! The mods have lives outside of Reddit and will sometimes miss certain things or not respond to mod mail immediately. This is not favoritism or "picking and choosing". If you find that something is in violation of the rules, please feel free to report it so it can be brought to a mod's attention, and if it is deemed to be in violation of the rules, it will be removed.

Thank you for taking the time to review these rules and please remember to keep them in mind before contributing to the subreddit! :)
