Outside of the lawsuit, shit is probably hard to navigate.

How many people from TNA have said they hated the 6 sided ring and how much of a pain it was to bump in.

I’d assume 8 sides would be as difficult

[Canadian Dragon]

Creed likes the 6 sided ring, not everyone hated it. But it does sound like it sucked on the body

Bloodsport without Shane McMahon is a great concept.
