ACQUSITION: A Bunch Of Wrestling Stuff

 Look, I needed new ropes. Or “needed” them.

So recently, AEW changed their ring ropes to white from black. This is after using red ropes for Collision since the start. I only had black ropes. But the fine people at Figures Toy Company where I got a bunch of stuff back in March sells a four-pack of replacement ropes in red, white, blue, and black. And since I was making an order anyway, I perused the catalog and filled my cart.

CONTRACT SIGNING SET:

This includes one brown breakable folding table, one tablecloth, two “plush” style chairs, and a little contract. I love the chairs - they’re even nicer than the ones that come with the Jazwares announcers. FTC also makes a very good table, and the contract is perfect. The tablecloth is just a square scrap of fabric full of creases, so I had to poster tack it in place. I may work to replace it with something a little heavier, a little bigger, and maybe with some wire or weight on it so it hangs normal.

MORE TABLES:

I got two more of the tables in black, because I find their brown tables a bit too light. These are a bit too dark, but what are you gonna do? Anyway, they hold together well and stand well which is all I ask for.

FLOOR MATS:

I got four of the ringside floor mats, because that’s all I should need for photos. They have velcro on the inside edges, but they’re attached with double-stick tape, and the tape and the Velcro have about the same grip strength so it’s 50/50 when you pull them apart which will give way. I’m sure they’re intended to be set up once or twice ever as part of a permanent display, but I may end up taking the Velcro off altogether since I only need them to stay in place for minutes at a time.

ARM SLING:

I got this mainly so I could do a Pec Injury 2023 Danhausen. It’s really well-sized except for the strap, which is understandably long. Which can be dealt with.

DUFFEL BAG:

I got this largely speculatively because it was tough to tell from the website whether this was fabric or plastic. It’s a very well-sculpted plastic. The only issue is the long strap is painfully short, so I’m not sure how or if I’ll ever end up using it. It looks great, though.

TOP HAT:

I mean, it’s a top hat. It is… large. I don’t know if it’s sized for WWE heads and those run large, or hair, or what, but I ended up pulling out The Orb to make sure it’d fit tight on a head. Still a nice top hat though.

All in all, a good haul of useful accessories at a reasonable price.
