Hardcore Ring vs Attitude ring

[slaughendazs]

I’m looking to get one of these I was wondering if they are the exact same size? I see a few used ones with the turnbuckles bent, is there a way to fix this?

Yep same size, only difference is the hardcore ring comes with a hole in the side to keep the weapons in.

The Attitude ring came with a steel cage.

Even as a kid, I was confused by those.

Didn't stop me from playing with them though, ha ha!

Hardcore Ring also didn't open like a carrying case IIRC.

I used them as announce tables before I got the Grapple Gear.

I remember them being a great add on to my TTL Titantron.

Can't count how many body slams and chockslams were performed on them.

Thanks everyone I ended up going with the hardcore ring since I found one with 3 ring skirts. Those catapults were crazy back then! I used them as an announce table. The attitude ring I was looking at was a rerelease without them

I had both, the cage was awesome before they brought out the "rage in the cage" set which was meant to be a Hell in a Cell (but we won't talk about that). I loved the Hardcore ring for the ring skirts and the wee opening to put weapons in, plus I got the set that came with the Jim Ross figure an announce table so that made my matches spill to the outside more.

Both excellent rings, and both were so much fun as a kid.

That Hardcore ring with Earl and JR was my introduction to actual WWE figures.

Got that ring with JR, Table & Hebner for Christmas 01 and I will say it was one of the best presents ever.

I missed out on the original Ref and JR figures so getting them along a modern announce table was a dream.

From what I remember that particular set was a Woolworths exclusive and two future ones were released called The Ring of Turmoil & Ring of Poison.
Those rings again came with announce tables only Turmoil had HHH & Jericho while Poison came with JR & Lawler.

Completely forgot it came with Earl. I’m 100% certain as well that I got it from Woolies too!

The Hardcore ring with Jim Ross and Earl Hebner, and the Raven, Shane McMahon, Stone Cold 3 pack were sitting on the table for me one day after school when i was about 6.
I purchased them again when i started collecting in 2020.
Would love something similar for kids nowadays.
