I have two 4 foot x 4″ x 4″ wood posts, and each post has a screw eye. There is 12 feet of spacing between each post.

How can I stretch a 1/2 inch diameter piece of rope that goes through each screw eye and is tight without having to buy turnbuckles?

Room where a professional wrestling match takes place

A wrestling ring is the stage where a professional wrestling match usually takes place. It has a similar structure to a boxing ring and is traditionally square in shape.

Configuration and construction[ edit ]

The configuration and construction of the traditional wrestling ring closely resembles that of a boxing ring. Like boxing rings, wrestling rings are known by the poetic name of the “square circle,” due to the fact that fighting exhibitions were often held in a roughly drawn circle on the floor.[1]

Wrestling rings generally consist of a raised steel girder and wooden plank stage topped with foam padding and a canvas cover.

Surrounding the ring are three ring ropes, one fewer than modern boxing rings, which have had four ropes since the 1970s. The materials used for the ropes differ depending on the ring builder or action. Some, like WWE, use tape-wrapped natural fiber ropes, while others use steel cables covered with rubber tubing.[3] Unlike a boxing ring, the ring ropes in a wrestling ring are not connected. These ropes are held and tensioned by turnbuckles, which in turn hang from steel ring posts that also support the frame. The ends of the turnbuckles pointing into the ring are padded, either individually or with one large pad for all three, similar to a boxing ring, as in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. A portion of the mat extends outside of the ring ropes, known as the ring apron. The raised sides of the ring are covered with a cloth skirt to prevent onlookers from seeing underneath.

There are usually steel steps all around the ring that wrestlers can use to enter and exit the ring. All parts of the ring are often used as part of various offensive and defensive moves.[1]

Wrestling rings vary in shape and size, with most measuring between 4.3 and 6.1 m (14 and 20 ft) on each side, measured between the turnbuckles. WWE and All Elite Wrestling use a 20-foot ring, while World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling have historically used it, and Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor currently use an 18-foot ring. Typically, wrestling rings are smaller than boxing rings.[1]

Variations [edit]

A hexagonal wrestling ring historically used by American promotion TNA Wrestling. AAA in Mexico occasionally uses similar rings.

While the traditional ring is four-sided, other configurations exist, such as B. six-sided rings. The first known regular use of hexagonal rings in professional wrestling was for the Japanese lucha libre-based promotion Toryumon 2000 Project, which held its first show in 2001. Hexagonal rings were used for special occasions such as Lucha Libre AAA World Wide’s annual Triplemania event. Impact Wrestling (then known as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, or TNA) first used one starting in 2004 before returning to a four-sided ring in 2010. In June 2014, the six-sided ring returned for promotion,[6] but was dropped again in January 2018.[7]

Safety: A special feature of this ring is a suspension that allows the floor to sag by approx. 7 cm. (gallery) The OSB boards that form the bottom of the ring are 2.5 cm thick. The raised OSB floor has a 2.5 cm (0.98 inch) padding layer and a PVC tarpaulin.

International parameters: All parameters of the ring are designed to be as close as possible to the parameters of the World Wrestling Federation. The bottom of the ring is well padded and covered with printed PVC tarpaulin, meeting the most stringent safety requirements. The surface of the frame is electroplated for exceptional durability and longevity. Other ring parameters are always optional and always depend on the specific order and choice of a promoter for an event.

Ring Ropes: The ropes of this ring are usually made in two basic varieties. The classic and most popular variant is the one with 32 mm PES ropes. The second variant is the same as most of our rings. The leatherette ropes are certified through years of use and proven durability.

Suspension floor: Wrestling is a very attractive spectator sport. Because safety is important to us, this ring is double spring loaded. The metal structure itself allows for a sag of up to 7 cm, and the OSB panels are sprung with an additional soft layer from the lower part. Contact us for color combinations or your print for the canvas or corners if you have other requirements.

configuration and construction

The corner structure of a WWE ring, showing the attachment of the ring ropes to the ring post via the padded turnbuckles

The configuration and construction of the “traditional” ring closely resembles that of a boxing ring, although the wrestling ring has three ring ropes, one fewer than the standard boxing ring. In addition, the ring ropes are not connected in the middle, making them less taut than box ropes. Most (if not all) wrestling rings also incorporate more padding and shock-absorbing construction than boxing rings, although this varies based on the preference of the promoter.

Wrestling rings generally consist of a raised steel girder and wooden plank stage covered with foam padding and a canvas mat, with the raised sides then covered with a cloth skirt to prevent spectators from seeing underneath. There are three ring ropes around the ring. Depending on the action, the structure of these parts differs; Some, like WWE, use hemp rope wrapped in tape, others use steel cables wrapped in rubber tubing. These ropes are held and tensioned by turnbuckles, which in turn hang from cylindrical steel rods called the ring posts. The ends of the turnbuckles pointing into the ring are usually heavily padded, either individually as in the US or with one large pad for all three similar to a boxing ring as in Japan. There are usually two sets of steel steps (one on each side of the ring) surrounding the ring, which some wrestlers use to enter and exit the ring. All parts of the ring are often used as part of various offensive and defensive moves.

Wrestling rings vary in shape and size, with most measuring between 14 and 20 feet on each side, measured between the turnbuckles. WWE uses a 20 foot by 20 foot ring, while historically World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling have used and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) has used an 18 foot by 18 foot ring. Typically, wrestling rings are smaller than boxing rings. Rings typically include a “skirt” area of ​​canvas ring floor that extends between one and two feet beyond the ropes. The ring itself is generally elevated between three and four feet above the ground.

History of WWE

World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. (WWE) is an American publicly traded, privately controlled entertainment company principally engaged in professional wrestling, with major sources of income also coming from film, music, product licensing and direct product sales. WWE also refers to the professional wrestling promotion itself, founded in 1952 by Jess McMahon and Toots Mondt as the Capitol Wrestling Corporation. As of 2014, it is the largest wrestling promotion in the world with over 300 events per year and broadcast to approximately 36 million viewers in more than 150 countries. The company’s headquarters are in Stamford, Connecticut with offices in major cities around the world.

As with other professional wrestling promotions, WWE shows are not legitimate competitions, being purely entertainment-based, with action-oriented, scripted and choreographed matches, although they often feature moves that can put performers at risk of injury if not performed correctly. This was first publicly acknowledged by WWE owner Vince McMahon in 1989 to avoid taxes from athletic commissions. Since the 1980s, WWE has publicly labeled its product as sports entertainment, recognizing the product’s roots in competitive sports and dramatic theater.

The company’s majority owner is its Chairman and CEO, Vince McMahon. Along with his wife Linda, children Shane and Stephanie, and son-in-law Paul Levesque (known professionally as Triple H), the McMahon family owns approximately 70% of WWE equity and 96% of voting rights. In August 2014, Eminence Capital, a New York-based hedge fund, acquired a 9.6% stake in WWE due to ongoing issues with the company, while the McMahon family retained a 90.4% stake.

The current company, incorporated on February 21, 1980, was previously known as Titan Sports and was incorporated in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts in 1979. In 1982 it was acquired by Capitol Wrestling Corporation (the holding company of the World Wrestling Federation, WWF). Titan was renamed World Wrestling Federation, Inc. in 1998, then World Wrestling Federation Entertainment, Inc. in 1999, and finally World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc… in 2002. Since 2011, the company officially trades exclusively as WWE, although the legal Company name has not been changed.

It usually costs up to $300 just to make a wrestling ring. Be sure to check how much the mats cost, as well as the ropes. Wrestling Mart is a good store that sells all the things you need to build a cheap wrestling ring.

For years there has been reports and speculation as to exactly which words have been officially banned from WWE television.

In April, some of those questions were answered when Figure Four Weekly’s Bryan Alvarez was leaked a copy of The Language of WWE, a guide for WWE international broadcast partners.

As for the actual banned words, the guide says:

– “Wrestling” and “Catch” (used in some European countries) are forbidden. Instead, announcers should say “WWE”.

– “Sports” is prohibited, the correct terminology being “entertainment” or “action soap opera”.

– “Wrestlers” and “Catchers” are also banned, with “WWE Superstars” being the correct substitute.

– “Athletes” and “Sportsmen” are the biggest surprises on the ban list. A suggested replacement is the phrase “WWE Superstars are entertainers with tremendous athletic ability”.

– The noun “fight” should not be used, “match” and “bout” are accepted instead. At least that makes sense in context.

– “Fight” bad, “Action” good.

“The Language of WWE” ended with the following list of “key sound bytes”:

– “WWE is pure entertainment.”

– “WWE is an action soap opera.”

– “WWE Superstars are entertainers with tremendous athletic ability.”

“Wrestling” and “wrestler” were by far the least surprising entries on the banned list when looking at WWE, for obvious reasons. You could write a column about Vince McMahon and the self-loathing that comes with it, but now is not the time.

However, in the last few months since CM Punk’s foray started, they’ve waned with both and he’s started using both words in promos.

For me, the biggest surprise with the list was how many expected forbidden terms were missing. This could boil down to it being for international use and WWE simply don’t want direct translations of anything on the blacklist.

Perhaps the following terms are only banned on the flagship English-language show and therefore weren’t on the list above, but there were many other terms that were reported as banned or appeared to be banned based on WWE TV’s observation of the shows :

– “Frau/Frauen” is replaced by “Diva/Divas”, which could be evidence that this is limited to words that they don’t want to have translated literally into foreign languages. This is one of the longest running times.

– “Fans” is replaced with “WWE Universe” even if it’s 90’s WCW fans.

– “Belt” is replaced with “Mastery” even though it’s awkwardly referring to the physical item.

– “Violence” and “violence” are replaced by “physical/physically intense” and “physicality” respectively.

– “Hospital” has been replaced with “medical facility”, although this may have been a Jim Ross term since he used it in WCW.

– “Police” and “law enforcement” are replaced by “the authorities” (see previous slide).

Woman/women, belts, violence/violence and fans all seem like locks that really need to be banned.

“Diva” I get somehow for branding. Banning “Belts” is another “Southern Rasslin” thing I know.

I understand “violence/violence”, but the substitutions sound too artificial. WWE Universe supposedly came about because Vince found “fan” offensive, I guess because it’s short for fanatic.

Maybe Vince really fights for us when it comes to all the banned words and we don’t realize it. He really is a hero. What would we do without him?
