Love that you are shedding light on this ring. I love the real scale rings by Jakks. This was the first one and it was a game changer. I have so many fond memories of this and I also have had no issues with the rings. Interesting enough i still have my original ropes and have sagging of the white one as well.
Do you remember when RSC advertised it? For the longest time it was advertised as a modern Smackdown ring. I was pleasantly surprised (having pre orded it myself ) when it arrived as a classic ring.
I was one of the lucky few whose pre-order for the original Real Scale Ring was selected at random by Ringside Collectibles to receive earlier than scheduled.
That took place roughly 10 years ago this week.
To commemorate the occasion, I thought I would share all of the photos that I took of my brand new Jakks ring on that day.
Luckily, I never ONCE had an issue with the turnbuckles caving in. Only in recent years have I noticed the ring ropes sagging more than usual (in particular, the middle white rope) when I decide to set it up. I consider myself very fortunate to have avoided many of the issues that plagued others with the initial launch of the RSR.
I used to run my own WWE figure fed in the mid-2000s, and I distinctly remember using this ring for the very first time at my version of WrestleMania 21 on April 17th, 2005. In the main event, Shawn Michaels became my second-ever World Heavyweight Champion when he defeated Triple H in an instant classic. Elsewhere, The Rock retired Stone Cold Steve Austin in a two-out-of-three-falls match, and I inducted all of CS Series 5 (which I received for Easter that year), as well as CS Series 3 Ultimate Warrior, into my version of the Hall of Fame.
The Real Scale Ring V1 was my ring of choice for many years while I still played, and to this day I consider it the best ring that I've ever owned.
So, without further ado, take a trip back in time to April 2005 when my 16-year-old self couldn't have been happier with the ring of my dreams.
