Squared circle
From Free net encyclopedia
Image:Max-Schmeling-Halle-WWE-apel.jpg The squared circle of professional wrestling is the ring where the match takes place (at least initially and primarily) and is a term borrowed from boxing, as is the ring itself; legitimate amateur wrestling takes place on a mat on a floor, not in a boxing ring. The original derivation may be related to the mathematical problem of squaring the circle, or simply that it is referred to as a "ring," but is square in shape (a squared ring, or circle).
