Too short in height and not big enough length/width wise.

And what's funny is, as a kid I never noticed it until like '95 when all the influx of WWF guys started coming over. I'd see Hulk Hogan standing in it and looking like a freaking giant and I was like, :dwillhuh:I don't recall him being this tall in WWF. Duggan, etc. all these guys looked like giants in WCW's ring.

To this day I still make the :beli: when I see Macho Man's elbow off the turnbuckle in WCW. Had no height whatsover and the move held no credibility anymore for me, personally.

There was barely enough room for a reverse Irish whip, much less a criss-cross.

true. It was better for the smaller guys.

But I actually think I like Rey's high flying stuff in WWE better

When Bobby Heenan use to joke around about how Super Calo's sunglasses never fell off, I was like :ohhh:

It was only until recently that I realized that his mask just looked like he was wearing sunglasses :snoop:

Bigger than some of them territory rings. I posted an old Hulk vid and gatdamn them rings were small. Can't execute an irish whip without it looking weird

I remember SCSA saying that he and the other wrestlers loved that ring on one of his podcasts. He was talking to someone (can't remember who), but they thought the WWF's ring was too large. You'd tire quickly from simply running the ropes.

Don't forget the one of a kind sound the ring made when somebody hit it.

:guilty:
I actually liked those sounds, especially right before they went out of business.
It was really noticeable during Superbrawl '00 I think.
Actually sounded like the slams hurt imo.
On the flip side, I could see how it could be annoying.
:patrice:
