That could work I'm thinking, but the ring should be treated like what it is. It's a gimmick. The word "gimmick" has gotten a horribly bad rap in wrestling but it has its place. I wouldn't mind seeing the ring back for once a year or so for Lockdown. That would be a step in the right direction I think compared to having that ring all the time. It gets old and it doesn't even feel like wrestling. It's hard to work ring psychology in a six-sided ring designed basically for high spots.
Just like many poorly conceived gimmick matches do, I think the six sided ring really takes away from the performers in the ring. Everyone is paying attention to what else the ring could be used for as far as spots go and they aren't paying enough attention to the guys in the ring going at it. It just really takes away from the ring-psychology of it all. I think screech is on to something though in the fact that it has it's place, I just don't think it should be used or hyped as a staple of the company. Bischoff definitely knew what he was doing by getting rid of it.
