The OP asked why not go back to the color red, and you went on a tangent about TNA. Fucking hell. :lmao Calm down man, I doubt TNA's primary color not being red is what hurt them.
And I answered him, because they're dumb, they basically decided they'd rather look like Smackdown than TNA, real smart.
A) When they did have the color red, people were complaining that they looked like RAW.
Yeah they made a million mistakes, that's why I mentioned the ropes issue and the remaining part of my post was about mistakes other than that and I'm saying look like TNA, look different, don't look WWE's B show
So you're saying you'd rather TNA looked like RAW, then SmackDown? It didn't matter what color TNA used between red or blue, because they both have been used by WWE a fuckton during the 2000s. The color of TNA's show matters just as much as the sides of their ring. It has never fucking mattered. What has, and always will matter, is what happens during the show.
Now the ring did matter, it made TNA different, it wasn't a huge thing but it mattered, what was the first thought that when through everyone's minds when they went to 4 sides? They look the WWE, they're trying to look like the WWE, having six sides made them different and they needed to be different to succeed, unfortunately at some point they forgot that
Dude, I never cared that they got rid of the six sided ring. What made TNA different was things like the X-Division, which had existed before TNA even started using the six-sided ring.
There's little things you can do to be different and big things, the ring was a little one but it was something, Bischoff said when he knew they were going to start airing Nitro head to head with RAW, that he sat down and wrote down every single little thing that he could do differently from the WWE, everything and it worked, big time, they of course eventually fucked it but that's what TNA need, they need to find a way to be different in every way they can and the X division was without doubt a huge part of that but they need the big stuff and small stuff, but like I said, unfortunately at some point they either forgot that or just stopped caring
The reason they started using a normal ring in 2010 was because Hogan convinced Dixie to change it. The reason behind the change was that the six sided ring is extremely rigid, compared to a normal ring, with a lot less give, and so it is harder on the body.
It is harder on the wrestlers but I've heard guys like AJ Styles say even though it is harder, they preferred because it was different
I heard him say it, it was a while back, I'd link it if I could remember where I heard it
