Who misses the long ramp WCW used to use for Clash of the Champions and some PPVs? It seemed simple but massive.. I liked how it looked and it was a cool visual with the wrestlers fighting above the fans pretty much..

Loved it.
When I took tae kwon do and we started breaking boards, I used the pieces to build a small runway for my toy wrestling ring.
I marked when it came back at Slamboree 2000, though the announcers acted like it was some new thing the company never had before.

I liked it too. It looked cool and made outside brawling on it look better than if they were just on the ground.

I loved it, it gave a unique aura to the shows and made it seem like these guys were surrounded and people were reaching up for them, to be a part of things. I loved when TNA had it as well.

I watched my first Chikara show recently, and instantly loved that they used the ramp.

I loved it as a kid, I have fond memories of watching the Clashes, particularly in the summertime, and just digging the atmosphere. I'll still pull up a random Clash match on youtube now and again just to give myself a nostalgia pop for the ramp.

I thought it gave the wrestlers and even the show a larger than life feel to it. I was dissapointed when they didn't have it anymore. I think the first was Bash at the Beach 1994. It was something special to see even though it was at a lot of PPVs and Clashes around the early 90s. It reminded me of the WWF ring carts for WM III and VI. I've never seen a complete match from (I think Maple Leaf Gardens) but it was cool seeing it in WWF when I saw clips of 1980s WWF shows. Best example I have is the Stand Back music video where Andre has JYD's chain and swings it whie Jimmy Hart and the Funks are on the ramp.

Props to Kanyon for the bump he took onto it from the second teir of the triple cage. That was some Mick Foley **** son!
