I always thought it to be kind of unnecessary but it has become a signature for the company up until this point. I'm kind of indifferent to the idea of getting rid it.... I honestly don't think it adds much to the matches, if anything it takes away rope and ring space. Ultimate X could still obviously be done with a 4 sided ring.

Yeah I was kind of at oddds with it as well, The 6 sided ring really is the only thing that sets them apart sadly they haven't done much innovation with it other then the "6 Sides of Steel" which imo makes the ring look even smaller.
Get rid of the 6 sided ring? But TNA are supose to be different. They can't do that. How do you have a 6 sides of steel match, with 4 sides?
EDIT: Well he said he wants to get rid of the 6 sided ring. Don't mean it will go back to 4 sides. could be 8 sided or some shit.

The six sided ring has always looked tiny to me. It really doesn't do much to enhance the action in most cases and the only gimmick it's used for is their cage match...which really isn't anything special aside from the name. Trust me, a four post ring won't effect anything. Hell, it might even help some people take TNA a bit more seriously. I never understood the need for 6 sides anyway.
six sided ring is Blue. No way is that ring in any way or form intimidating.
If anything have a octagon with a ropes.

are you sure about that? They're trying to sell us fake fighting. I'm sure they're not going for the plastic toy look.
I say they've got to keep the 6 Sided Ring, other than the X-Division which really hasn't meant anything in a while, it's the only thing that really sets TNA as a unique and different wrestling company. First time ever viewers are drawn in by the 6 sided ring, it's different and it's fresh as well as really never seen before.
Monday night shows are alright, DVRs and Tivos have really made competing shows and timeslots null and void but it will still be interesting having two wrestling shows on Monday Nights again. Disregarding ROH since TNA will likely get a more known station if not Spike.

Yes, I'm pretty fucking sure that the point of the ring is not to be intimidating. It's to provide a stage for the wrestlers to look intimidating.

The shorter turnbuckle distance does allow for tighter winding of the ropes. I suppose with the fast faced action of TNA that is a plus.
I've got nothing against the 6 sides really, I just wouldn't be completely turned off if they decided to drop it.

Shouldn't the wrestlers have a stage that doesn't look like it came straight from a high school theater? I'm sure Tenay doesn't spout off about the ring every change he gets because it's not ment to grab attention. Hard for the performers to look intimidating when they're supposedly fighting on plastic. Remember how loud the TNA ring use to be when it first came to spike? They tried to milk that thing as a death trap
Either way this is a ridiculous argument because i know i'm right and you're being silly.

The fuck you're right. There's a fucking difference between looking "intimidating" and not looking plastic. The Arc de Triomphe looks legit. It doesn't look plastic, but that doesn't mean it looks intimidating. Your piss poor vocabulary does not stand as an excuse for your idiocy. You used the wrong word, and it wasn't even close. The ring should look professional, not fucking intimidating.

The 6 sided ring is TNA's uniqueness but Its small and isnt special really. However, I dont want Hogan coming to TNA and trying to make it look like a WWE replica. Thats one reason I was skeptical of this partnership. Bring the6 sides back only for lockdown imo
a professional ring does look intimidating does it not? Stop being so difficult. If you look at all the sports that uses a stage for fighting all of them primarily focus on how it functions but you can't tell me after that step they don't try and spice it up with some danger. UFC was able to take a sport out of the ditch with the Octagon and heavy hype on the danger of the sport. TNA tried to step away from tradition when they created that ring with their X division. Sorry buddy it wasn't ment to look professional it was ment to look intimidating. I knew what word i was using
The Arc de Triompne can go suck a dick same with your thesaurus. We're talking about stages in Professional wrestling not froggy landmarks
