I love that they are just normal dudes who enjoy the hobby.
I'm sure the big WWE paychecks help too.
@@subzero8679 their midcard so not quite so big.
They aren't broke but I mean they are not making roman reigns money either.
Yeah, solid men
@@subzero8679 Just because you see them on TV doesn't mean they're rich.
Man I miss playing with my old WWF action figures and rings. I was so intune with it, I had a notebook where I was writing down my card with about 7 matches, and storylines.
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
I did the same thing, I even wrote down what number a wrestler was in the royal rumble lol.
@@tocoul4u duh how else would you remember
I miss the Old Wrestler u cant buy Hogan or Barber Brutis beefcake man they are hard to find now days
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
Mod Podge hard coat works better and is non toxic and safe for kids.
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"!!!!
WWF/E Vs WCW that is The Invasion storyline or the end of the Monday Night Wars
Awesome memory... reminds me of something my dad would have done
:)
And the cool dad award goes to!
I hope your dad left for cigarettes and never came back after such a dumb idea.
Always loved those ECW rings. Brings back memories. Well done sir!
Frog tape would have helped with the bleeding paint. But otherwise awesome custom.
Knowing how to paint the right way helps too.
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.
Man that looks slick. Great job and Congrats on the Tag Titles.
Great job love see people trying their first Custom collectibles
I like how the dog left during the tap layout. Good stuff Brian
My favorite video you put up so far! Your ring came out amazing! Can’t wait to customize mine! Keep up the awesome content!
Perfectionist that I am, I would paint the mat the ECW blue but it looks pretty damn good.
Definitely the most underrated channel ever
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.
Big pop for Piper. Hope she becomes a staple.
Love the dog just chilling like "What the hell is he up to now?"
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.
nice modification, SIR BRIAN!!! looks kool! thanx for the tips!!!
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.
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?
I found this to be oddly relaxing and fun to watch.
Awesome job! I think I'm going to do something like this for my 5 year old daughter.
I’m a big fan of the dog and I don’t think I’m in the minority.
You guys will win RAW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MARK MY WORD ❤️❤️
Loved the tutorial. Hope to see more, along with custom figure videos as well! Great job.
Loved this video. I've been contemplating ordering a second ring to try customizing it and this pretty much sold me. Thanks!
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 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 :-)
You and me both. I'm finishing up my MBA, so I'm sitting on 5 rings right now.
Ha. I bought 5 too. Customized 3 already. Don’t know what to do with the other 2
I’m thinking of a camo paint job. Just need to get ambitious 👍
you could 3d print a piece to cover where the stairs go
Great job Brian! We miss the ECW!! That was a good and crazy time haha God Bless!
You should do another one of these, it’s one of my favorite videos.
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
I fucking love you guys content, y’all reengaged my love for figure collecting
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 😎
That Mike Awesome shirt is beautiful I know that must’ve cost you an arm and a leg.
Very intricate and a wonderful creative aged piece .🤼♂️
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 👍🏼
Great Job , The Ring Looks Awesome ECW ECW ECW!!!
Retro ring with AJ on the box that's great
Really cool video! You guys should do more unboxing videos and stuff like this
Man, looks really awesome!
Amazing job, I geeked out tbh lol
Great job Brian!
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.
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.
In Canada, Amazon Prime are offering it for thirty bucks. Not bad. 👍
Nick Galianos I saw that . I'm leaning towards ordering one. Seems that I can't find a used one locally. I would have liked to attempt a custom on something cheaper. But ah well. Is what it is.
That looks great Curt Hawkins aka Brian Meyers
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.
That came out dope! God bless!
try using tweezers for small sticker application. nice custom bro!
I kept those small pieces in the turnbuckle and painted. Was able to reuse and completely hide the knots on my ropes
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?
Wow awesome Custom Ring
Great job. I wonder if the stairs could slot in backwards (under the ring) to fill the gaps?
I loved the custom work. I think we have another Bob Ross on are hands.
Brian, Really AMAZING JOB!! And love the shirt PLEASE let us know where we can get one .Thanks really LOVE these shows
I did this same thing with Mattel's modern basic ring I bought custom ECW stickers off ebay
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
Great video! Thanks for sharing! :)
That is sick as a skateboard trick.
do one with movable turnbuckles like the (superior) hasbro ring
I wish I could do all this stuff back when I was younger.
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.
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.
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 😅
And who the fuck cares if you were high or not!? Fucking junkie
Da King Nothing fuck you kid, I’ll beat the shit outta you
wonder if the OSTM ecw figures look good in a mattel basic ring?
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.
Sweet build dude
dude now you have to show us your finished display!
Nice I’ll try to do the same Curt!
I love the custom ring bro. Im workin on a real scale elimination chamber for the old build n brawl figures
3:11 Ringside collectibles top 10 is brought to you by Wildcat belts
awesome job,,thanks for sharing your tutorial
My dog is named Piper too...After Roddy of course. :)
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
I like that Men it's so awesome 💪
Dudes a nice guy.
Love this channel
Tag team champ!!!
That black smudge would drive me crazy
As a felloew toy collector and customizer, get a good pais of tweezers to assist in putting on stickers.
Great job cool ring
Did a great job
Good work Brian 🤔 i like it a lot 🤩
Looks awesome
turned out great
That was Awesome
I ‘m glad I found your Channel. Nice job on the Ring, very cool. I only have figures I want.

You have the new breed era ecw title. You need the purple logo jerry lynn version.
Tiny part of me wants to try to get some rings and customize them for different things
also, for the knots, to get rid of the fray, I take a lighter close to it for a few seconds.
