Y'know, I'm not too sure about the colour sequence for the ropes. I've gone through as many NWA PPVs and TV shows I have between 1988 - 1989 when this green ring apron version was used and Crockett was all over the place with ropes. red/white/blue, red/yellow/blue, blue/white/yellow etc. etc. I don't think their ring crew had any formal procedures for setting up the ring. As a pro-NWA/WCW guy, even I have to admit how "bush league" an NWA ring looked compared to a WWF ring that always had the standard red/white/blue combo. And don't get me started on the different coloured turnbuckles for each corner! Didn't the NWA green ring also use black ropes from time to time? Your right they were all over the place. TO be fair thought. From time to time WWF got it messed up too. I think one example i can think of is the i believe 2nd Saturday Nights Main event where hogan fought Funk. I think they got the ropes out of order. And that ring looked rough.

Great run down of the differences. The nwa ring is sick. Looking at naparos ropes...looks like u have to buy sets of all one color? How'd you get the yellow white blue combo? And did u have to custom order the nwa ring skirt? Thx boss! Edit: I see u can order individual rope sets of one. and that ESR nwa ring skirt is a large size logo? The skirt you see he has is a large size logo.

Just received my ring. Overall I really do like it. I also ordered ropes and two ring skirts from naparo01 which I feel look a lot better than what it comes with. Only thing that sucks is one of my turnbuckle covers was missing the rubber clip to hold it on so now I'm playing the waiting game on a response on how to get a replacement. Until then, I'm stuck with an incomplete ring =/

Here are some pics for you bharrisfan: Triple H STANDING on the ropes: Other side of apron: I only display my figs and I collect guys from the past and current so I wanted my ring to go with that. I eventually might paint the posts blue to go with it.

I honestly don't understand what the big fuss is over the canvas clips. Not just from you but alot of people. They work perfect and hold the canvas tightly and securely.
Unless you're moving your ring alot or picking it up and literally shaking it, there shouldn't be a problem with the canvas clips falling off.
I do agree that the ropes are awful. I will be buying new ropes from Naparo as well.

I will be buying new ropes from Naparo as well. I'm with you on the canvas clips. Before I received my ring I went out and bought butterfly clips based on what others had suggested expecting the ones that came with it not to hold but, like you said, they have held up just fine unless you really are throwing your ring around.

Love the NWA ring man, excellent job. I wanna see some of your customs in it! I'd be all over that ASR if I didn't already have an ESR. I've got enough figure "junk"....as cool as another ring would be I know it would be overstepping my boundary, lol. Looking back I wish I had sold my ESR when they were going for $400

In an update from my ASR experience
As a lot of you know both of my ring skirts broke. I emailed wicked cool toys and they replied asking for my mailing info. Little did I know that they had actually emailed me right back with a tracking number. For some reason that email went right to my junk folder.
Now here comes the weird part.
I'm out side on my phone refreshing my emails then I randomly decide to check my Junk folder. 3 fresh emails from weeks ago popped up. I look and one is from WCT with a tracking number. I click it and it says Delivered! I was sitting in my car in my drive way while the fed ex guy came and delivered it without me even knowing LOL. Long story short I now have two replacement ring skirts! Thanks WCT!

awesome custom ring, losthawk! I love it when you guys give your personal touch to your collectibles, especially if it is such a centerpiece like a scale ring! Respect for the customizer! Very impressive!!!

I might ask them for ropes, I really didn't want to push my luck in my initial email but after reading that. i want to try. my current ropes are fine cut but i'd like backups in case of some shenanigans...

Well I honestly think all of the ropes are loose like that man. I haven't seen one report of the ropes not being pretty bad. Did yours break or something though?

well I've reviewed every PPV and Clash of Champions Crockett ran back in '88 when the green ring skirt was prominent and the ropes were consistently red/white/blue. So glad I ordered red and white ropes from Naparo too!
