They may have been mic'd differently, but that doesn't explain the difference in the sound itself. That's like saying the sound of hitting a baseball with a wooden bat and an aluminum bat is different from one another because your hearing aid is in the wrong ear. Running steps, stomps, and slams had a different sound (mostly going WWE vs WCW here), one was more of a dull thud (WWE) and the other would be more of a sharper crack (WCW). Also, as stated a couple of other points in the thread, it has been said by many other people besides Foley and Gertner that WWE rings have "less give". A more rigid suspension means less vibration on impact and also less things slapping together underneath.
