Former WWE Superstar and Hall of Famer, Booker T, recently shared his thoughts on TNA Wrestling’s decision to not bring back the iconic six-sided ring. In his latest Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T expressed his belief that the six-sided ring was TNA’s true identity and losing it was a significant loss for the company.
Booker T stated, “The six-sided ring was what made TNA different from any other wrestling company out there. It was their unique selling point and what set them apart. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t bring it back. It can’t be that difficult to make those rings and keep them fresh throughout the year. Losing the six-sided ring was a big blow to TNA, both in terms of time and money.”
Booker T’s opinion reflects the sentiments of many wrestling fans who fondly remember TNA’s six-sided ring as a symbol of the promotion’s distinctiveness. The ring not only looked visually different but also added an extra dimension to the in-ring action, providing a unique and exciting experience for both wrestlers and viewers.
While TNA, now known as Impact Wrestling, has undergone several changes over the years, including rebranding and adopting a more traditional four-sided ring, many fans still long for the return of the six-sided ring. It represented a defining aspect of TNA’s identity and helped establish the promotion as a viable alternative to WWE.
Booker T’s comments have sparked a debate among wrestling enthusiasts, with some agreeing with his viewpoint and advocating for the reinstatement of the six-sided ring, while others argue that TNA’s focus should be on other aspects of their product.
As TNA prepares to rebrand next month at Hard to Kill, the decision to stick with the four-sided ring may disappoint fans who were hoping for a nostalgic return to the six-sided structure. However, it remains to be seen if TNA will consider revisiting this iconic element in the future.
