My dude, all my match cards were shamelessly The Rock vs. Triple H from 98 all the way to 2004 in my toy league, i never kept an accurate list of all my cards though, just some papers kept in my toy room that read The Rock vs HHH over and over lol

Protip for people that make custom rings for play use! Before you hide the knot on the ring post use a clear coat nail polish to prevent fraying. Makes the ring ropes last way longer. Helps especially if you are make a custom ring for kids that might be a bit reckless

My Dad made me a ring when I was a kid, wasn't the most action figure friendly ring in the world but I've never forgotten how cool it was when I got to play with it. When he was done he asked, "what should it say in the middle?" I was like, "WWF VS WCW"!!!!

Always loved those ECW rings. Brings back memories. Well done sir!
Liking the custom video. I'd liked to see more. Tip regards the bleeding around the ring. Best to use a low tack tape not painters tape and you must remove the tape pretty fast after applying the coat of paint. Yes this can be very to do tricky but leaving the tape on whilst allowing it to dry you run the risk of the paint bleeding into & through the tape. Which is the reason you find that the edges are not as clean crisp as they should be & result will leave you doing a lot of clean up. I would also recommend when painting items with spray paint to do an undercoat of primer & then paint it & also apply a clear matt or gloss coat depending on finish you want. This will seal & protect the paint from future wear and tear. And if you do diced to do more custom videos. Invest in a couple surgical scissor clamps. That way you can safely hold items with it at a distance and get all angles when spray painting it. This will help you so much on smaller items. Great video! 😀👍

blue.warrior I should have read this comment first because I just repeated everything you said.
This guy's the Martha Stewart of customizing rings.
Perfectionist that I am, I would paint the mat the ECW blue but it looks pretty damn good.
My favorite video you put up so far! Your ring came out amazing! Can’t wait to customize mine! Keep up the awesome content!
Loved this video. I've been contemplating ordering a second ring to try customizing it and this pretty much sold me. Thanks!
Loved the tutorial. Hope to see more, along with custom figure videos as well! Great job.
Use FrogTape painters tape. Gives good, crisp lines. Also do lighter coats to make sure paint is fully dry in between coats. This will prevent any cracking/orange peel and will also prevent that sticky feeling painted objects will sometimes get. Will also help prevent paint from bleeding through the tape, helping with crisper lines. Put A few coats of matte clear coat on the whole ring after putting your vinyl stickers down. Will help protect the paint and your stickers. You can also stick your ring post in a card board box so you don’t keep putting excess paint on your ring.
Man that looks slick. Great job and Congrats on the Tag Titles.
Great video! Ring looks great. Now I’ve got the itch to make a Raw is War era ring. Just ordered another ring from amazon 👍🏼
Frog tape would have helped with the bleeding paint. But otherwise awesome custom.

I like how the dog left during the tap layout. Good stuff Brian
Love the dog just chilling like "What the hell is he up to now?"
Great job love see people trying their first Custom collectibles
This is awesome. The ring came out badass 🤙🏼. I got the legends classic ring steel cage which is all blue. I want to switch it to an Attitude Era version of the original Monster Ring for bca figures. Thanks for the recommendation of spray paint. Subscribed 😎
nice modification, SIR BRIAN!!! looks kool! thanx for the tips!!!
Starting the early stages of my S.T.O.M.P. In Paradise Ring. Definitely going to be coming back to this video a bunch.
so they send you a generic ring and whatever decals for whatever promotion you want? thats cool, I like how the dog was trying to be a part of it lol
Brian, Really AMAZING JOB!! And love the shirt PLEASE let us know where we can get one .Thanks really LOVE these shows
Really cool video! You guys should do more unboxing videos and stuff like this
Very intricate and a wonderful creative aged piece .🤼♂️
awesome job,,thanks for sharing your tutorial
I have quite a bit of experience with spray painting plastic as make custom Jason masks. I would suggest doing a light sand of the parts with a high grit sandpaper just to help adhesion. Also doing a primer coat wouldn’t hurt things either. Once you have it sprayed I would suggest a poly just to protect the paint was chipping and flaking off in spots. You can even use a Flat finish one if you don’t want to overgloss the thing. Still a great custom. Wondering where you got the Anarchy Rulz sticker set from? I got an ECW logo off Steel Cage Customs on eBay but the background is black and so it doesn’t look as good.

I agree!! People always forget the most important part, the sanding!!! Then they wonder why the paint rubs right off with ease. Yes primer certainly helps too. I usually use 400 grit sandpaper or higher for sanding figures or accessories.
Man, looks really awesome!
You should do another one of these, it’s one of my favorite videos.
Great video! Thanks for sharing! :)
you could 3d print a piece to cover where the stairs go
I had an idea with the ropes for long term, well spray painting the ones that come with it was one but for the tied ones, a tiny bit of crazy glue on the knot itself, so the knot can't back itself out over time.
Great job Brian! We miss the ECW!! That was a good and crazy time haha God Bless!
Definitely the most underrated channel ever
Great tutorial. The black/blue ECW ring turned out great. I have a few still in the box myself and just not sure what I want to make. Also I continue to be tempted to buy more rings but my wife appears skeptical :-)

As somebody else who has big hands, an exacto knife is your best friend. Get one of the corners of the decal on the tip of the blade and then you can maneuver it pretty easily without your hands getting in the way. Also, Walmart sells ring ropes (parachute cord) in their craft section.
Awesome job! I think I'm going to do something like this for my 5 year old daughter.
Big pop for Piper. Hope she becomes a staple.
Great Job , The Ring Looks Awesome ECW ECW ECW!!!
I love the custom ring bro. Im workin on a real scale elimination chamber for the old build n brawl figures
I’m a big fan of the dog and I don’t think I’m in the minority.
Nice I’ll try to do the same Curt!
I heard of some using a scotch brite pad to take off some of the plastic protective coating before spray paint. Looks like you don't even need to. And resistance to the paint?
Did a great job
Great job Brian!
You guys will win RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MARK MY WORD ❤️❤️
Good work Brian 🤔 i like it a lot 🤩
AMAZING VIDEO!!!!!!! Brian
Great job. I wonder if the stairs could slot in backwards (under the ring) to fill the gaps?
Love this channel
Sweet build dude
turned out great
Very awesome man
I fucking love you guys content, y’all reengaged my love for figure collecting
That was Awesome
Wow awesome Custom Ring
Happy bday Bro!!!!

I did this same thing with Mattel's modern basic ring I bought custom ECW stickers off ebay

sand before you paint so it sticks better

I agree!! Allways sand first!!!! People forget the most important step. The paint can look great sure, but if it doesn't stick it's useless and a waste of time and money.
Great job
try using tweezers for small sticker application. nice custom bro!
best thing to apply stickers is to use a pair of tweezers. i use them when applying stickers to gundams. helps alot. mainly for small stickers too.
Insane!!!
awesome broski
Retro ring with AJ on the box that's great
Can you take off the ring posts/tables/stairs after they're installed? Not sure I want to paint them yet, but would like to know if I'll have the option later if I put them on as is
I love your vids bro
That Mike Awesome shirt is beautiful I know that must’ve cost you an arm and a leg.
I found this to be oddly relaxing and fun to watch.
Cool video. I'd like to see what these rings sell for Canadian. Would have been cool to see the stairs painted in a silver metal paint.

That is sick as a skateboard trick.
I kept those small pieces in the turnbuckle and painted. Was able to reuse and completely hide the knots on my ropes
That looks great Curt Hawkins aka Brian Meyers
Amazing job, I geeked out tbh lol
I wonder if you could attach the stairs backwards, under the ring, to fill the gaps on the sides? Or would they not be flush?
dang, i wish we could be friends, im lit painting some old LJN figs as i watch
Seriously. The Hawkins videos are so much better. He’s calm and real. I like that he doesn’t care if he’s flexing his biceps just right.
Tag team champ!!!
Your the man
Could anyone help me with this question if I wanted to make a custom yellow king of the ring ring out of the class blue Hasbro ring would spray paint work or would the paint come off it if it was used for play
Dudes a nice guy.
I like that Men it's so awesome 💪

I'm sure they would. I display some of my Ljn rubber wrestlers in a Mattel basic ring. It's the old school looking ring with the red white and blue ropes and steel cage accessory.
I wish I could do all this stuff back when I was younger.
Hey Pyper keep Your Master company good dog
I got the variant Curt Hawkins Elite
I ‘m glad I found your Channel. Nice job on the Ring, very cool. I only have figures I want.
I had one of the blue retro rings. I remember I got it in the early 90s on clearance at a Pay and save. Played with it for years until a puppy destroyed it.
Might work on a custom marvel ring today

As a felloew toy collector and customizer, get a good pais of tweezers to assist in putting on stickers.
He flicked us off lol
I watched this whole thing high AF. I had that ring when I was a kid. I’d wake my mom up by having Bret Hart slam the shit outta Gi joes. Sometimes I’d paint Mexican wrestlers new mask designs with my sisters finger nail stuff and added glittery shit to outfits. Or I’d tie a piece of cloth to their heads and make it a custom mask, when I’d start ripping I’d take a ketchup packet and apply it to the head. One time I made undertaker with the black and grey version break a light bulb over another head and it was loud AF. It was AWESOME 😅
