"IMPACT ZONE" getting a new look
Ryan "Douche Bag" Clark
Over the last few weeks I’ve been hearing about a major overhaul of the TNA ‘iMPACT! Zone’ in Orlando, FL. I have been holding off on reporting anything until I could get further confirmation. I’ve been told that Eric Bischoff’s production company is the contractor logged in to oversee the overhaul. TNA has to notify lease agents, insurers and park officials of any construction activities because they can interrupt the filming of other productions on the lot. I would expect a brand new set to debut on the January 4th TNA iMPACT!. There are also rumors about the six-sided ring being replaced by a 20 x 20 ring although I can’t confirm that. I’ve sent off several emails and have not heard back just yet. Hulk Hogan has also said numerous times that he’s not a fan of the six-sided ring ![]() |

I'm indifferent about the possible ring change. I don't really care either way, I'd rather just see good matches and angles.

Well TNA getting rid of that ring would be a step in the right direction. I'd be more inclined to watch.

UFC doesn't count. Wrestling rings should be 4 sides. That 6 sided ring is one of the main reasons I could never get into TNA.

meh seems like a ridiculous thing to concern yourself with. if the product in the ring is good, who gives a shit how many sides there are? not commenting on the quality of their product, just a general statement.

Yeah. Can't stand the 6 sided ring. Gotta go with Juan, it turns me off watching more.

Agreed... But If I had to choose, I'd stick with 4 sides...Irish whip moves will had a lot more whip to them...

I mean, the 6 sided ring isn't the ONLY reason I don't watch TNA, but it's a contributing factor.

Yes, the wrestling ring should be four sides. It's one of those things where they have always been four sides and there was no need to fix what wasn't broken. I think now they will have a much easier time aesthetically getting people to watch the show.

The only reason they had six sides was because of the x division which they rarely use now, so why not make it a what Kevin Nash would say a " 2 sided ring"

If anything, they can use the six sided ring for gimmick PPVs. I'd say, IF they're doing it, make Lockdown the only PPV with six sides of steel.

I like the idea of a set change. Changing the ring might make it better for me personally, as I am a fan of tradition. I worry about some of the guys who got use to the six sides having to make the switch, but I'm sure they can do it. I recall that TNA did not have the six sides until they made the move to Orlando.

I don't like the six sided ring because of changes it makes to the ring dimensions and some of the action.
For instance, irish whips. Jumps from the top rope, and just the overall distance from rope to rope. |

I would hope they implement it into a storyline rather than just having the audience show up and think they're at ROH.

I like it, it is different but not too different. I have watched lucha libre for a while so I am pretty used to it.

Bisch should go with his idea he had in WCW of not even having a ring.

I watch TNA more than WWE and I think going to 4 sides is a good idea. You can tell when a wrestler first debuts in TNA they're not as good in the ring right away it takes most of them like 2 or 3 moths to get used to the ring, and by then they've a;ready established themselves to the fans as not as good as they could be.
The only people I saw uneffected by the 6 sides of that bat are Kurt Angle and Desmond Wolfe. 20 X 20 is that bigger smaller or the same as WWE? |

They should wrestle in a circle squared (two round rings).

Ive done the math and read a few opinions now I see the complaint and the awkwardness it can create for guys used to four sided rings that being said I think the only reason hogan hates it is because if he steps in that ring he will look TERRIBLE.
