What is a wrestling ring made of?
Wrestling ring From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The squared circle from a WWE house show.A wrestling ring is the ring stage that professional wrestlers wrestle in. Wrestling rings are generally composed of an elevated steel beam and wood plank stage covered by foam padding and a canvas mat, with the sides then covered with a “skirt” to prevent spectators from seeing underneath. Around the “ring” are three cables (the “ring ropes”) wrapped in various types of piping (generally rubber hosing and tape), which are held up by turnbuckles. World Wrestling Entertainment and some independent groups use real rope, as opposed to cables. Wrestling rings vary in shape and size, with most measuring between 14 and 20 feet on each side, measured between the turnbuckles. WWE uses a 20-foot ring while the past promotions of World Championship Wrestling and Extreme Championship Wrestling used an 18-foot ring. Because of this, the 18-foot ring is commonly held as the “standard” for wrestling rings i
