It didn't dawn on me until reading this that the ring didn't come with it. There's nothing in the campaign dialogue that would imply the ring comes with it, so the fault is all mine. I guess I just assumed since the New Gen entrance had a ring and a figure at $250 this came with a ring, too. $260 ($400-$140 for Attitude Era ring) for the entrance and two figures does seem a bit steep. I'm not a WCW guy, so YMMV. All that being said, I hope it gets funded for those who want it and it allows Mattel to keep coming up with wild stuff like this.
Yep. The ring is coming at a later date with a UE Bischoff. I'd have gone ring, stage, Bischoff, and Steiner for this, but I'm just a guy. I think pitching it with the ring now is a bold, if not slippery approach. Yeah, the ring could help move it, but out of 5,000, I'd bet at least someone had a similar misunderstanding and winds up unhappy next year when this ships, sans ring.

Haven’t checked the thread in a couple of days and I’m surprised that WCW has once again caused class warfare. Damn you Billionaire Ted.

Not sure where that's from... but isn't it kind of false advertising? I know it says "to back the stage" - but I imagine a lot of people will look at that and think they're getting everything (ie. the ring) too... 😬 Collectors: “You should show it with the ring!!!!” Me: “Ok, here it is!” Other collectors: “This is false advertising.” Good times.

Feedback was legitimately overwhelming that a ring wasn’t wanted in future crowdfunding projects so it was removed from the equation. I’d bet anything if it was included, feedback would have been extremely negative on its inclusion.

Thank you for everything regarding this crowdfund, Steve. These additional pictures, details, and pairing with the ring has been wonderful. I really hope this thing gets funded/backed.
If I may ask here, can the WCW Nitro logo on the upcoming UE Ring mat be a bit bigger? In comparison with the WCW Nitro ring mat the other company did, for the ring similarly sized to the Elite Scale Ring, and the actual WCW Nitro ring itself in the 90s, it seemes like the mat logo should be bigger.
Regardless, I'm stoked for that ring and especially this stage. I cannot thank you and the team enough. My thanks also go to everyone who has backed this.

I didn't know what/where this was from. I just thought that there could legitimately be confusion to new/potential backers because it doesn't say something like "ring not included" anywhere (...the post after mine kind of illustrated the point...) - It didn't dawn on me until reading this that the ring didn't come with it.

Ring should be smaller and logo should be bigger. I didn’t need another ring, and now I really don’t.

I still can’t shake the fact that the biggest issue with the arena is the talent selected. I jumped at new gen for Doink. This is a unique approach with regards to it being a crowdfunding, this I feel it should warrant unique more obscure talent. If it does not get back I think that the talent would have been it’s downfall. The stage is not the issue. I watched an interview with Steve in which it was highlighted that he was unsure how they landed on the talent selected, but others were discussed. I would be interested to know who else was on the table. I also would question who was saved for MNW line who could have fit into this and seen it backed long ago.

I couldn’t believe the OVERWHELMING bitching and fussing regarding the ring for the New Gen Arena. It’s pathetic how they moaned about no more rings this and that lol don’t even waste your time explaining anyone with any common sense realizes that some people will complain over literally anything smh And thank you for showing the ring with it it’s a great way to promote the stage so people see what they can possibly have if backed. Display looks wonderful man

Right, but I don't see why not just include the turnbuckles and ringskirts to convert it into a WCW ring instead of having to own 3 scale rings.

Steve has stated in the past there just legitimately isn’t enough of these rings out there to justify making a conversation kit just yet (from a $$$ side of things). In time, when more of these rings are sold, financially for Mattel it will make more sense to do so.

Not at all, a ring would have been great. If you could have done the stage, the 5 figures, the ring and the Bischoff for $280, I think we'd all have been on board. So long as the stage was a 2-in-1 Raw stage aswell, and the ring had a conversion kit.
(just a little joke, of course).

I’d snap up the Attitude Era ring in a heartbeat if the made a Golden Era conversion kit. I’m only collecting wrestlers from Golden, so any other ring doesn’t make sense. Back on topic: it makes sense that fans wouldn’t want another ring, especially if wrestling figures are your main hobby. People only have so much space. That’s the boat I’m in and why I’m only doing Golden. I’d love to branch out but it’s just not in the cards.

If the WCW Nitro stage doesn't get funded is there any need for Mattel to release the ring?

If the WCW Nitro stage doesn't get funded is there any need for Mattel to release the ring? It’s a good companion piece to the MNW series. If not for that I’d say that a valid question. After all, the original classic scale ring was supposed to come with Andre. That got scrapped and Andre made it into the Matty Legends series.

Personally, I'm way more interested in the Nitro ring with Bischoff than the Nitro stage with Rey and Steiner. I think wrestling rings are kind of standard for a lot of collectors/collections too... whereas stages/display pieces aren't.
