Do you guys use a ring for playing? if so, which one? I use a Mattel-Basic Ring.... Pffft hahaha! In all seriousness, a bought one to modify into the ring seen below. m.flickr.com/#/photos/wabwpo/10969759005/The "OCW" skirt is the work of WF's own, Naparo of course. I love that man. How did you increase the size? it's a real nice ring. |

How did you increase the size? it's a real nice ring. Thank you! I basically gutted the ring, cut it into four sections, installed a wood & screw support system under the ring, leaving a large enough opening to fabricate a mat from thin, flexible(and very loud) posterboard suspended by an "X" positioned pair of paintpaddle crossbeams. The canvas is grey scrapbook paper, & the ropes are actually sewing elastic. It's noticeably thinner than the standard issue ropes, while also being superior for posing figures in "rope related spots". I'll post a no-nonsense tutorial with photographs if anyone is interested. |

Can you give me directions so I can make one too I can arrange that with no significant struggle. Lqtm The ring is built with two main ideas in mind. Durability & reasonably easy storage. All I have to do is remove the posts, & it's an 18x18, 4 inch deep square that's easily slid under the bed, or the removable of about 10 to 15 screws leaves it effortlessly stored in a container not much larger than a shoebox. |

That's outstanding man, I have to admit I'm a little confused with how you made it so would really appreciate a tutorial. |

Just finished a 10 man elimination match, winner receives United States Championship. Participants were: Wade Barrett The Great Khali Ted Dibiase Jr. R-Truth Ryback Justin Gabriel Antonio Cesaro Cody Rhodes Kenny Dykstra Zack Ryder The winner was Cody Rhodes who eliminated Ted Dibiase to win the title, only for Dibiase to attack him after the match with his gold briefcase. Interesting storyline to develop here! |

I like playing with figures more than playing a wrestling video game because you control whatever moves that your wrestler uses rather than having only 10 moves like wrestlers on 2k14 have. This! When you play in videogame, an Irish Whip has only 3 options: the wrestler fall out the ring, you hit him or you fail a hit. When you play in videogame, an Irish Whip has a lot of options, including a giant T-Rex eat the ring and the wrestlers... |

I really like the fact I can control my own wrestling Me too I haven't actually taken most of them out of the boxes I just make dream factions and match ups and simulate in head Man if thats what you want to do with your figures then go ahead, I'm not stopping you, as long as you enjoy it! I'm only saying this as this has made me want to collect x100! It is amazing, but hey people have different opinions |

Not gonna lie, I find it almost awkward to read that you guys have actual leagues or whatever with pieces of plastic.
