I love the table prowrestlingdad, but what I love even more... is that Auburn football I see in the background!

I am glad first off that your son is doing better...nothing worse than a sick helpless kid Also wanted to say awesome set up I am adopting a 5yr old girl and I am slowly winning her over with the wrestling she likes Cena and Hogan so I guess shes rooting for the nice guys atleast. Awesome idea with the train table I used to use a 6 foot long table was great but I couldn't keep it up to long in the way of everything

One of the best threads I've read on here in months. Amazing story and amazing family you have there.
It must be the greatest feeling to share a hobby you love with your son.

So very glad your son is okay mate. As a dad of a little boy about the same age (my little monster is 4), I can only imagine what that day was like for u both. So happy he is all good. He looks like a very spirited little fella, and u have a beautiful family. He is very lucky little man to have a dad that takes the time and displays the interest in what he loves. Awesome setup.

Thanks guys! I enjoy doing this with him because he loves it. I played with figures when I was younger, and thought I would with him more but I don't. I like seeing the look on his face when he opens a new wrestler that he doesn't have. He loves looking at the stores trying to see if they have someone that he doesn't. Since he gets to watch the WWE network sometimes, he has started learning the older guys. I got an Elite Yokozuna off Ebay for him for Christmas and got the Amazon Mankind on top of all the ones I've ordered at RSC (We have a girl due right before Christmas, so we are doing all his shopping and wrapping now as we have a busy few months and my Wife told me to spoil him this Christmas since a baby is due the week before, he is going to be all over the place.) I will post pics of his new big boy room that is getting painted this week. We are painting the room to look like a wrestling ring with ropes and turnbuckles in every corner. I am actually looking at doing a bigger table for him and condense his playroom down as he will soon have to share it. I am going to have a table built that is 8 foot in length, 4 foot in width. It will have custom cubbies built below that will allow him to store his wrestlers,belts, accessories, and so on. I will include an image of something I found and I'm going to design it like this. He has the backstage playset, hell in a cell (ebay) and 4 regular rings. Here is a pic of the shirtless wonder with the ESR in the place. You will see why he needs a wider table now. I have since customized the ropes (cut them and tied where it sticks underneath turnbuckle). I also took black electrical tape and went along each side taping the mat to the ring (underneath the skirt so it isn't seen) and taped the clips to the base. The cloth is tight and doesn't move AT ALL. The ropes are a lot better now. In this pic I took the elastic rope from one of his stupid rumbler playsets and suspended it from the chandelier in the play room (formal dining room as we don't use it). The MITB briefcases attach using the Strikers ring piece that holds the title onto the playset. Works perfectly, and he does MITB matches along with title matches. I'm telling you guys, he is pretty freaking smart with how he does his toys. He will mimic TV to a "T". The elastic ropes allows him to have matches and tug on the briefcase without pulling on the rope and tugging on the chandelier (I still watch like a hawk though LOL).
