Paid Members BomberPat Posted February 3, 2025 Paid Members Posted February 3, 2025 Something similar to the red and blue AJPW ring is that one of the shoot style promotions - I think UWFi - briefly did a thing where the referee had a red wristband on one arm, and blue on the other, so if he made a gesture with the red arm it was to the wrestler fighting out of the red corner, and the blue arm was for the blue corner. It's a little thing, but I liked it - one of those ideas that comes out of thinking about how wrestling works as a sport.

Was it based on other combat sports having a “red” corner and a “blue” corner? Or is that just coincidental?

I think, and I may well be wrong, that the different rings in All Japan were to do with the TV company rather than the promotion, which is why you had a few different styles, but as I say that's very much a dim memory rather than a fact.
