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

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

Mod Podge hard coat works better and is non toxic and safe for kids.

@danielramirez3212 5 лет назад

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"!!!!

@1Soniccool 5 лет назад

WWF/E Vs WCW that is The Invasion storyline or the end of the Monday Night Wars

@ZimmFlimz 5 лет назад

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! 😀👍

@RetroTiburon 5 лет назад

@holypoop88 4 года назад

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.

@mikeboss416 5 лет назад

Frog tape would have helped with the bleeding paint. But otherwise awesome custom.

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

Knowing how to paint the right way helps too.

@raythillemann2847 5 лет назад

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.

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

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.

@edhern619 5 лет назад

@ToddOlsen2014 5 лет назад

@Jeffistopheles 5 лет назад

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.

@donniedonnie4548 5 лет назад

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.

@williamleepratt7264 5 лет назад

sand before you paint so it sticks better

@subzero8679 5 лет назад

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 😅
