Away from the US I always loved the blue with white trim canvas New Japan used and the old tube like corner pads were ace, so unique. 

 

I find a bit sterile for some reason. Too many ads as well. I do really like the AJPW diagonal one though. Classy and unique.

Yeah, that All Japan one was always a favourite of mine. ROH copied that design for a bit but with red and black as well if I’m remembering right.

2nd best thing Chris Warren ever did, after being bad enough to get Americans to boo the US national Anthem 

To this day I piss myself laughing when he starts with "Oh say can you see" in that strip club Zack de la Rocha voice, and about 15,000 people pelt him with boos.

Christ, those ropes. It looks like someone opened the picture in Photoshop and just bumped the saturation to maximum.

The IWA-MS ring in the early-mid 00s was awful, with its flappy bottom rope and its canvas covered in AIDS

AIDS and several othet deadly viruses...

Anything with a sponsor logo on for me. The Corona ring from Mexico is a stand out.

Makes it appear a bit more real. Looking like a boxing ring.

Earl Hebner looks like Mike Ashley after a few months of keto.

Incidentally, that shirt Earl is wearing looks like the one he wore on the second TNA UK tour, where after the crowd chanted "you screwed Bret", he tore off his ref shirt to reveal that T-Shirt underneath - it has ref stripes but, if I remember correctly, also says "DAMN RIGHT I DID" (or words to that effect) on the front, and "Hebner 97" on the back.

Nothing quite sums up Global than borrowing a terrible idea (ref having merch) from that known success story, TNA. Even actually wearing TNAs merch too. Still, if anyone knows a thing or two about borrowing merchandise, it’s Earl.

Money for old gold. I mean, rope.

The ring at the beginning of this clip has to be seen to be believed.

If I remember correctly from the original Bad Boy Wrestling thread, for an extra 15 quid you could see another ring as well.
