I first bought some Slam City figures on clearance at Big Lots, because the Brock Lesnar figure made me think of a caricature of Crusher Lisowski & Dick The Bruiser.
I then bought the Cena/Ziggler two pack, because Ziggler's figure could pass for a silver trunks wearing Buddy Rodgers.
In that spirit I decided to build a ring that captured the general feel of rings from TV's golden age of Wrestling.
The Turnbuckles are made from white Zip-ties in order to recreate the movement of Turnbuckles from the period. They swayed with the wrestler coming off the ropes. It was magical looking back on it.
The nails were used as posts, because no post with a disc top could be deciphered from a nail in Paul Bunyan's toolbox.

Look closely at the Battle Royal action photo, & you'll see my John Cena figure cornering Colossal Paul(Show), but it's actually meant to be an homage to The Sheik.
His character is an American soldier turned Muslim-extremist after suffering financial troubles, which he blames on the incompetence of the American government, & the idiocy of American Christians for inciting the wrath of Ala. He attacks opponents with a steel spike, & always pins his opponents with his body facing East towards Mecca.
Enjoy.
