Brian Fowler Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I'm of two minds on the six sided ring: on one hand, it made them look different and stand out a bit, the company's fans tend to love it, it allowed the occasional cool spot, and was perfect for the best move in TNA history, THE POUNCE On the other, guys struggled to adapt to it at times, several different wrestlers have said it hurts more to bump in, and it complicated sight lines on camera quite a bit.

Plus, tag teams never seemed to utilize their apron positioning to the best possible effect, imho. If your posts for a six-sided is: 1,2 3---4 5,6 ... why put the partners in the 3 & 4 areas, instead of 1 & 6 or 2 & 5? Most tag matches looked like singles bouts, almost every time.

BEN! Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The six-sided ring is really all they have to keep people from thinking they're not watching some bootleg SmackDown. Also, the hexagon is basically the company logo. Callis saying they changed it cause the wrestlers prefer a four-sided ring better. I'd posit that it's cause Anthem let the guy (Kensuke Sasaki lookalike) go that manages the ring crew and makes the rings and he probably just kept the ring. AroLucha and GFW were probably using Impact's six-sided ring for their recent Nashville shows. New championship belts in April. Twitch channel might also stream the complete indie shows where they send Borash to tape matches for Impact content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice Guy Eddie Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 6 minutes ago, RIPPA said: I feel like this is like 4 belt changes in less than 2 years Well, they need it. Impact across the GFW belts is on the same level as the Western States belt being used as the World title at Great American Bash '91. ROH, on the other hand, didn't need new belts, aside from introducing a women's title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Konnan says next week's LAX/OVE barbed wire massacre has been deemed too violent for Pop TV, so it will air on Twitch instead. It will still air on the Fight network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I'm really glad they are getting new belts because the GFW ones were bad in the first place and then they slapped that logo plate over the middle rendering them even dumber and now incoherent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
