Custom Ring

I finally decided to share my custom ring project and thr main reason I joined this sub.

I used to have figure collection with a ring for my Fig Fed as a kid. Fast-forward to last year and Ross was selling AEW figures at $3-$4 bucks a piece and lo and behold, I wanted a Fig Fed again. Since I was buying figs at a cheap price, I needed a ring and wanted to build my own out of wood.

An elite scale ring is 22in x 22in but they always looked too big, so i thought 20in x 20in would be the perfect size.

There are a few videos on YouTube on how to make your own rings but I pulled most of my ideas from a video by Italian Wrestling Fan.

RECIPE

-20x20 Thin plywood for the mat

-20x20 Art Canvas (this has a wood frame that will become your ring frame for the posts and mat

- 12 S-hooks

- 12 Screw eye hooks

- Elastic 1/8 paracord (whatever color(s) you want to use) for ring ropes

- "Jenga" blocks. I bought a cheap set from Dollar Tree for 3 bucks.. These are your ring stems.

- (4) 9 inch dowels painted whatever you like as your ring posts.

- fabric (chose your own color) and velcro tape for your ring skirts

-Nerf darts; cut them up and use them as your turnbuckles.

-paint for your posts and ring mat, whatever color. Staple the Art Canvas to your plywood (mat) and you can paint it whatever and design your own logo and it will work well since you're using real art Canvas.

Here are photos , including the finished product completed last x-mas, although I've been meaning to paint a logo with a stencil on the mat. I hope this inspires somebody else to make your own and make whatever changes you want.

Thanks again to Italian Wrestling Fan on Youtube for the inspiration!

Day of the Dead (1985)- Shout! Factory 4k

Just got in this in the mail from Gruv. It's awesome getting this in the mail a week early. A couple of things.

1)Regarding Gruv. I can't believe this shipped in a cardboard mailer bag! It was the only thing I ordered, so that might be why I didn't get a box. However, by the grace of the movie gods, the box set was in pristine order. No dents or loose discs, and the discs were scratch free. Other than the controversial cover for the box itself, the box set its configuration is beautiful.

  1. I skimmed the 4k and it sounds and looks beautiful. Unless the original negative is unearthed in the future, I don't think it can look much better than this. I'm gonna fully dive into this boxset this weekend.

Nice job, Shout!
