My Wrestling bait is drawing to a close, and my lad is going to build his own ring. Thing is, my wrestling ring-building skills arent too hot, and he's asking me how he can build one.

Im thinking of giving him a horribly dangerous way of buildin a ring (for the 3 "superstars" he's found me to have photos taken piledriving each other), but Im not to sure what to advise.

If this goes to plan (and the early signs are very, very good) it could be my best bait to date!

So, is there anyone here that could think of ways to build a suitable- though unsafe- wrestling ring?

How about a small inflatable pool with mud or maybe jelly in it Smile

Of course there has to be plenty of bikini girl matches first.

A starving lion chained to each corner post would be a good idea.

Seriously though. It doesn't have to be too elaborate does it? Get 'em to use planks of wood instead of ropes and tarpaulin (preferably over a nice, hard concrete floor) for the canvas. Tell 'em it's the look of the thing that matters more than the substance - after all, we all know wrestling is acting don't we? Wink

BTW. Don't forget the IOBWA logos on the planks.

Shards of glass hidden randomly in the dirt floor; concertina wire for the ropes; a moat of hot lava surrounding the ring....oh I could go on and on, but I think you had something slightly different in mind.... Wink

Yes, tell him that using barbed wire for ropes is much cheaper (and crowd pleasing) than the cables used for wrestling ring ropes. You'll make a fortune with the first Nigerian Death Match federation.

Just tell him to make sure to sand/grind down the barbed wire tips so no one actually gets maimed, just a little cut up.

Just have him cob the thing together out of wood, or available building materials. If they can build a "go-kart" he should be able to to find enough material to slap SOMETHING together.

Then, some official-looking but vague blueprints. Maybe take the blueprints for a steel ring, and fudge it up for wood? That will leave everything nice and flimsy. Twisted Evil

Given they will probably produce the most rickety structure possible anyway I would emphasise the importance of crowd visibility. This would require that the wrestling surface be as high off the ground as can be managed. Perhaps balanced on the end of a very tall pole or at the top of a tree.

I used my extraordinary drafting skills to do you up some plans. The design is a combination of potential for injury and ease of construction!

In order for the ropes to absorb the impact of a full grown man travelling at some speed they need to be 7 braid twisted hemp of a diameter no less than 2".
If not just use lots of sisal string.
The posts will need to be not less than 8 feet tall, with four feet embedded in post mix extending out to about 4" in each direction.
So just use a 6" hole and tamp it down flat.
Metal turnbuckles need to be covered in padding to a depth of about 2" and that padding must be covered in high quality leather, just use a bit of sacking, that'll do for them.

Can we send our lads there to wrestle your lad for some cash? Wink

EDIT... You can use 4 post for the corner angle and 3 layers of rope. The base will consist of laid out plywood on solid ground. I would love to see a pile driver move or body slam on that. Twisted Evil

EDIT2

Here's something I knocked up quickly with MS Paint. Feel free to use or change it.
