3. Nobody's saying that number of sides = match quality. Least, not til you came along.

Sarcasm can be a powerful tool, when the mind behind it isn't limp as a noodle.
But this poses another question: if it's not the size difference (as the 6-sided ring is slightly bigger than the 4-sided ring), then why exactly do all of you people hate the six sided ring so much?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Anyway, I don't give a shit about the ring. It could be 2-sided, four sided, double ply, triple threat, or 4 dimensional, it's the action that makes wrestling wrestling. And TNA lacks action (Sportfests aside) and drama and all the things that make wrestling good to watch.
I think a lot of people complaining about the 6-sided ring are doing so because they're looking for a reason that TNA is sucking so hard. I don't know about everyone, but it seems to be a bloody scapegoat.

Of course, what makes TNA suck so much is the fact that it's a B-Rate WCW (Arguably already a C-rate show). They're countering crap (The WWE) with worse crap (WCW-style "entertainment") and trying to dress it up with shitty spotfests and a novelty ring (YEs, for the mainstream American audience, this is a novelty).

TNA has everything it needs to succeed, and still blows. People want a reason.

I'd say most people hate the six-sided ring because the announcer keep driving this gimmick down our throats.

*side note*
Hey Sadistic, just wandering, lets say someone doesn't like the six-sided ring (I have nothing against it or for it personally,) how does this mean they don't like the quality of their matches spotfest?

I had this exact conversation with my girlfriend last night.

Her: It doesn't really look bigger.

Me: Babe, it's bigger, I swear.

Her: I don't think so. Does it make you feel special for it to be bigger?

Me: Dude, it's BIGGER!

Proof that size does matter.

I'm pretty sure it is bigger, it just doesn't look it because it's cut 6ways nstead of 4.

Consider the ring size thingy an optical illusion. Kinda how a bunch of horizontal lines laid over a series of cocentric circles make the lines look curved.

I think the idea of a six sided ring can be interesting, but it should never serive as a dominant feature. It's just a background... something there. The fact that TNA makes such a huge deal about it is pretty stupid. It'd be like bragging about a circular Titantron vs a square one. Who cares?

That said, six ringposts allows for slight tweaks in moves that could be interesting. Again, these would be subtle nuances, nothing to piss your pants about.

It's not a slight nuance, but it's not what they make it out to be either.
