Hey everyone, it’s been quite a slow week. We got to the center on Tuesday evening and the ring wasn’t put together at all since it was rented out by a Lucha Libre promotion out of New Jersey. The ring was in shambles, but that didn’t stop us… we immediately hopped on putting it back together.
The ring we use is an 18×18 ring, and completely different from other rings i’ve helped setup. The basic frame is really simple, 4 posts, 4 support frame beams, the wood, foam, ropes and canvas. Simplistic and easy as heck to put together… unless you dont have it squared up properly.
Which sadly is what happened to us. The foam nor canvas sat properly on the frame for some reason, and it caused all types of chaos. We tightened the cables underneith the ring thinking that would help square it up– but it didn’t.
Overall we spent over an hour working on getting this ring to be squared up and ready to go… and then I had to head home.

From what I heard from Elliott he stuck around til about 3am and got thrown into the corners back and chest first for a few hours… guess its what happens with you’re best friends with the trainers. HAHA.
The next two nights were called off cause of the threat of snow. Weather is a pain in the ass.
