I just got tna at my house and I dont like the 6 sided ring. I dont realy under stand how / y they have it that way. They say it makes them go faster when they hit the ropes. But I dont buy it. Mabye they want to be diffrent. Shed some light on this for me.
Tell me my grammer mistakes I think it is mistake free. :D

**Maybe...**different.
I'm thinking that since the ropes are closer together, they are tighter, so when you hit them, it launches you faster than longer ropes... Since the the 4 sided ring ropes are longer, no matter how tight they are, there will always be more give in the center than closer to the sides...

Ive only seen one episode on Impact and thus have only seen the 6-sided ring used for that one show. It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't like it was bad either. I give them credit for trying something new, but I dont really see any tangible benefit.

I think it's mostly something to draw in viewers, a little extra bit to set them apart from the other wrestling organizations out there. Personally I like it, and it drew me to watch the first couple episodes, so I guess it's working.

Yeah I do like that it is diffrent. I do think they are trying to hard to be diffrent. they have time limts and and that most of the matches are tag team. I like them being diffrent but I think they are working to hard.

It's good that you people appreciate TNA's effort.
6 turnbuckles? Is the ring bigger or smaller than WWE's one? :?:

It appears to be about the same distance across, just set up as a hexagon instead of a square.
I'm still waiting to see(or have I already missed it?) them use it for a 3-way dance with tag teams.

They brought the 6-sided to the PPV's?

I remember seeing pics a while ago from the PPV and it was the Six sided ring... It was on the Aniversery show, too...

The surface area of the mat is greater. It looks a little smaller because of the way your brain compares shapes.
