The six sided ring was terrible

[saintpat]

It looked stupid and bush league.

[Djm Doesn't Find You Funny]

It's funny one someone makes a post like this and just doesn't come back.

It's like dropping a grenade.

[Sephiroth]

It looked silly to me at first, but it grew on me. As most have said, it became a part of TNA's identity as something different from WWE, and it did actually allow them to do some different camera angles that made their overall product something new and unique.

[Glitch]

It was truly a "squared circle".

[Dave the Dave]

I don't care how many sides the ring is, but when it changed it's a good marker for when TNA was no longer must watch.

This is the main reason people miss it I think. Its sort of the symbol of when TNA was enjoyable.

Thank god they have the ramp all the way to the 4 sided ring so all TNA stars in their prime can be rolled out in wheelchairs, brother.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I liked it well enough but if it was really that rough on the wrestler's bodies, it can stay gone.

[Danimal]

Hardly a deal-breaker either way but I liked it.

It makes no sense to me when people say the ring looked bush league. What? A few extra sides on a ring and suddenly it looks cheap? How the hell does that work?

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

Wanting it back is symbolic. TNA in late 2009 was genuinely enjoyable TV and losing the six-sided ring is relatable to them losing their identity.

I don't get it either. By that logic, MMA promotions would look bush league, too, if they add extra sides or decrease sides of the cage.

I loved the 6 sided ring, it made for a completely different dynamic. I started watching TNA in 2005 and that was something i found really interesting.

I hate that ramp. Always have. It looks stupid.

I miss the six sided ring. The X-Divisioners always made great use of it, I think it was actually said that they were able to get more spring from the ropes.

[Toxik916]

It was one reason why I couldn't get on the tna bandwagon. It looked stupid and it was different just for the sake of being different.

[Toom E. Guci]

I worked a show that had a 6 sided ring as a manager. It felt weird being on the outside.

It was even weirder for the guys in the ring, as they had never worked one before. It took a couple of minutes for them to adjust.

It makes a HUGE difference.

But in the end, I enjoyed it. It was something different & that's what made it good for me as a fan!

Which matches would you say made for the best use of the six-sided ring?

Pretty much anything X Division related.
