If not, Slammiversary would be perfect as the anniversary show.

I remember when Destination X 2011 and the six-sided ring happened, I thought it was a neat gimmick and nothing more because I didn't have particular nostalgia for it

I go back to threads around that time and people say "THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN TNA FOREVER" no. You think just because Hogan stopped it that it must be a good thing. No

I actually have to disagree on this one. I agree it doesn’t need to return today because the boys don’t want it to, but Hogan scrapped it for the wrong reasons and the boys at the time hated it. There’s actually an interesting table for 3 when Sting was praising it and AJ was knocking him for it.

It was the Corgan era wrestlers who had been wrestling in the four sides when they randomly decided to bring six sides back that hated it so when Anthem bought Impact they listened and removed the ring.

It always put me off when they brought back the 6 sides in the decline years - it was an obvious gimmick

The fans wanted it so it made sense in a sense, but they yo-yoed it too much and by the time Corgan was there, it was too late. Six sides are bygone era.

I stand by my opinion they should do one PPV/PLE a year with the six sides to appease those fans and call it a day. It would be a fun time. A good gimmick can make a PPV.

I imagine the people still clamouring for the six sides have grown up and admitted it's not a good idea, especially since wrestling is higher-impact now

there an episode tonight?

X for doubt.

The entire discourse on Twitter when the TNA return announcement was first made was like almost 90% bring back six sides with it.

The six sides have never stopped being popular with the fans it’s just the wrestlers that have voted against it.

 

[Toilet]

Yeah, I'd love it

 

[Toilet]

Must hurt more I guess

 

[Smart Marx]

Yes, the bumps are much harder on their bodies because of the way the ring is constructed.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

Anyway there's a TNA show tonight, it's a big preview for H2K, I don't know if anyone notices in this Six Sided Ring Thread

 

[Toilet]

I'll watch but sadly with TNA+ it doesn't air until like 9pm Central.
