man I thought this ring was fun when I was younger.I used it almost completely for Hasbros because of the steel cage attachment
ah-good times!!

I still have it, I got one semi-boxed off a car boot for £2.50. I liked it becuse of the cage, I use to thread the cage inbetween the ring ropes of the hasbro ring. My mate did the same and he sprayed his blue. It was brilliant. Remember the spring to get into the ring.

i never had it. though i had all the u.s. released figures and many hasbros. i was looking to buy one a while back and there was one on ebay for a stupid price so i didn't buy it. looks cool though. i wondered if it was similar to the ecw ring by the looks of it.

When I was a kid I actually had a ring done by another company, some knock-off unofficial ring. The cheap, bootleg figures that company used to do were crap, but they were experts at rings! I swear, that ring I had was better than the blue Hasbro and WCW Galoob rings combined, and it had a cage, ring bell, all sorts of things, the works. The quality of materials used was just superior too. I had the blue WWF ring too, but I used my knock-off one much more.
Don't know where that cheap ring is now, but since then I have bought the WCW Galoob ring MIB, just to own it, but I don't use it or anything as I don't play. It was a good ring for it's time, even if it was wholly unlike the ring as it appeared on TV (I mean seriously, when did WCW ever use the colour red in the early '90s? It was all blue and yellow, even the ropes!)

I just won a loose one off ebay from the UK a couple weeks ago and I am anxiously awaiting its arrival (slow international shipping). I never had it when I was younger, and I don't even remember seeing it in the stores. Galoobs were not really big around here, the hasbros were the hot wrestling figures. Of course I was a little older at the time and wasn't into buying them (I am from the LJN generation) so I just may not have noticed.

I much prefered if over my hasbro ring in fact I covered it in WWF stickers as I hated WCW lol. The only thing I hated and I can't be the only guy who had this problem was the god damn ring bell. When ever you did a move with the figures and hit the ring the stupid bell would ring,

i had one of these rings when i was younger as well and it also came with an electronic box that had four different sounds. i can't remember them all but i'm pretty sure one of them said "1,2,3, you're out!

I had quite a few of these rings back in the day. I hated that fact that the ropes were so loose and the two posts that didnt have any actions to them (not the big corner spring or the pull back post) would come out of the hole if one of the figs hit the ropes hard. I also wound up my parents when I used it in the living room while they were watching TV cos it was louder to play on.

I had the Ring growing up. I only used it for Steel Cage mathes. other than that, I always used my Blue Hasbro ring I actually picked on up MIB for $50 at a toy show about 2 years ago. I ended up flipping in on ebay for $120. Wish i would have kept it needed the money at the time. i have some nice MIB pictures on the back and front if anyone is intersted.
