There aren’t many match concepts that really wow me in wrestling but the Extreme Air Wrestling promotion in Mexico City did it. While the company is dormant, during the early 2010s, they introduced something truly different to wrestling for the high flyers: a special double ring.
Extreme Air Wrestling’s Double Ring Concept Should Be Picked Up
Their double ring was different from the War Games setup. One ring was your normal ring but the second ring’s apron started about where the top rope of the first ring is. So, you have a normal ring and the tall ring.
That second ring can hold matches but it has to be dangerous to balance on a higher-than-normal ring apron during tag matches like a Depression Era construction worker on a steel beam. No, it’s mainly for dangerous and/or creative dives and moves. That’s all and that works for me.
In the same way that Fox Sports Net-era TNA and Ultimo Dragon’s Toryumon 2000 Project nabbed Lucha Libre AAA’s six-sided ring, someone should nab EAW’s ring and probably tweak it.
The only issue I really see here is that like Mexican and Japanese promotions, the company that uses it will need its own base, a venue that belongs to the company. While it’s no problem for a large company to put up and tear down the set and ring for multiple shows in a week, this ring is another thing.
That would just get tedious to the point of retiring the Extreme Air ring entirely.
