Hasbro WWF Ring RESTORED (1989)

[@SherdogCreep]

I found one of these by the side of the road last year...was always too poor to have one when I was a kid

[@Phoenix_Nhl]

I’m sorry for you :(

[@SherdogCreep]

@@Phoenix_Nhl Thanks man, but I finally have it now 😊

Fantastic job! I still remember the Christmas as a kid when I got this and a whole bunch of the guys. Great times!

[@treestand24]

During that Christmas, what did your mothers butthole smell like? Did it stink real good?

[@DrRawBalls_TheDummy]

I got lucky with this ring bc my grandma would go to yard sales and she bought one for me and my brother around 91 or 92 bc she knew we had the wrestlers but no ring and it was in good shape.. she was awesome she got us all the He-man action figures and the all the Accessories.. good times lol

[@yeahnah7220]

wow, i cant believe how well it come up after the oven cleaner! awesome finish. Actually got one of these here in the shed, still in the box and never opened. Likely never will be!

[@jessossenkopp]

Playsets were super expensive when I was a kid. The WWF ring was the only reason “playset” I had and I absolutely cherished it.

[@cameronfitzgerald3542]

I liked how they played Hulk Hogans real American theme in the background when he was cleaning him.

[@porcupinefizzy2908]

When I was a kid I has some of the WWF figures, my uncle promised me he'd buy me the ring. But he bought me a WCW ring instead that was meant for WCW figures. I played with my WWF figures with the WCW ring but within a few moths the WCW ring fell apart because it was a much weaker ring.

[@RazHolly]

Oh no! That really sucks. I wonder if that ring could also be repaired

[@porcupinefizzy2908]

@@RazHolly The WCW ring really sucked. It was awful and playing my WWF figures on it was a terrible miss-match. The WCW ring was too crap for repair. It was thrown in the trash years ago.

[@RazHolly]

Oh man! The that really stinks. Hopefully you got a new ring eventually :)

[@RockandrollNegro]

I had the WWF ring, and my neighbor had the WCW ring, and I can confirm the WCW ring was garbage. It had buckled in the middle within a week. Funny story; I was at a yard sale around 1990 and bought a ring that was better than both the WWF and WCW rings. I had no idea what that ring was until years later, when I found out it was the LJN ring.

[@aye_its_karate6169]

Within a few MOTHS? HOLY SHIT.

[@Old_School_Monster]

This ring was so expensive in my country when i was a kid so, my dad built one for me. It was made of wood with white ropes. Good times......

[@RazHolly]

That’s awesome! Probably better quality too

[@Old_School_Monster]

@@RazHolly It wasn't as detailed as the original, but it was heavy enough to not move around while you played with the figures

[@johnwild8336]

I chronicled my younger Brothers Hasbros on my channel, but unfortunately his Son broke the ring. I wanted a shot at repairing it, but he threw it out, ugh! So great that you took the time and effort to resurrect this classic toy. I mean Dan Classic toy. Thanks for sharing.

[@RazHolly]

I know what you mean. Dan also had some Hasbros that had the same problem, I asked him if I could restore them and he said they were beyond restoration, and tossed them Before I met up with him. I just keep thinking of how I could have restored them 😂

[@Wrestlelesson]

Nice restoration 👍🏽😎respect... I never had a WWF ring as a kid but now 36 years and a week ago I made my own WWF ring and it looks awesome more realistic. Again nice video of the real hasbro ring 😎👍🏽

[@Phicheee]

Fantastic work on this project! I always wanted the LJN Sling 'Em Fling 'Em ring but never got it. Ultimately ended up designing and building my own 2'x 2' ring, which I think is better, but I would still love one of these original rings for nostalgia's sake.

[@buttcher87]

I managed to snag the yellow King of the Ring ring from a buddy a few months back. Never realized it was as rare as it was after looking it up so I ended up paying a decent price for it(he had no idea either and I wasn't gonna rip him off). Pretty nice shape as well. Basically the exact same ring as this one, as far as I can tell, except yellow and different decals.

[@andremarc1275]

i really love original WWF merchandise of the golden era. I still buy things on the Internet in 2022.

[@adamxbeck]

Cool video. I just found my old ring in my parents attic which is in rough shape. I purchased some decals, ring rope and belts as I plan on restoring it.

[@RazHolly]

That’s great! I should have a better looking video in the future. I found another ring a few years ago and I’d love to restore one for myself.

[@RockandrollNegro]

I painted the table and TV set on mine too as a kid.

[@RCPropaganda]

wow great job. Watching two years after but it helps.

[@KamenRiderSilver]

Looks better than new!!!! Great job Raz!

[@RazHolly]

Thanks. It was a lot of fun to restore

[@tycondrius23]

awesome restoration job , you should do a Dan classic reaction to the seeing it restored :)

[@RazHolly]

I gave him first dibs to review it. I’m sure he’ll do that since he hasn’t seen it in person yet. :)

[@DanClassic]

I've already seen the photos, and man it's some powerful stuff seeing your childhood stuff brought back to life like that. I'll be sure to incorporate it into a review soon so stay tuned to my channel as well!

[@kmovie19]

Love the 8-bit macho man theme

[@NapoIeoneBuonaparte]

fuck can’t believe this is three years old this video is so awesome i would watch this anyday

[@RazHolly]

Thank you! I’m restoring another one with different sticker types. They might be better than the lami-label

[@liverpoolfootballclub914]

Great job I just did the same restoring a ring, wish I had watched this first

[@aaronfell1816]

Really enjoyed vid. What an amazing restore. I had this as a kid and i had the extra add on with sound effects. Still have most of my HASBROS. OOOOH YEAH!!

[@RazHolly]

I’m glad you enjoyed it :) I remember seeing the add on. Hopefully I’ll get one done day. That’s great that you still got em. I’ll have to pick up the Rockers, they were my only Hasbro’s. I do have a few of the retro style ones that were just released

[@Spekterrcminor]

I remember I had a toy ring, where if u hit the centre a voice would sound effect would sound

[@Jecb_2004]

I wish i could get the old school Hasbro ring for my dad 😞

[@juniusadams9346]

I remember having this when I was a kid on Christmas day that same year

[@michaelgotti1977]

This video is awesome!! I wish I still had my old wrestling figures and ring.

[@subzero8679]

You could also put a few layers of Mod Podge over top the stickers to seal them and make them scuff and scratch proof.

[@jimmybenyoucef4416]

This is basically the 80s version of the Mattel superstar ring....

[@raidermike8797]

The value for these rings are sky high right now. Best option is getting a beat up one and restoring it. I got a ring, flag, belt and stickers for under $80.

[@RazHolly]

Jimmy Hopkins thats great! I found the Ropes to be the hardest to find for a good price. One of 3 reasons I wanted to make the video :) I hope this helps you on your restoration

[@tmanqz]

Really, I got new one in the box sitting in my closet with 50 boxed wcw/wwe figures from mid 90's.....figured they werent worth anything.

[@m3shad]

@@tmanqz You can get atleast 500 dollars for that ring on ebay. The wcw figures I'm not sure.

[@TekDristan]

Nicely done. It takes a lot of time and effort to get all that old paint off.

Oh yeah, that was what took the longest, especially the table

[@RazHolly]

For sure! Great guy

[@Tutnese]

Wait! I'd searched everywhere for a ring without the platforms atop the posts (like in the ads)! Was this a custom job? GREAT WORK!!! I love this video! More! BTW, for anyone found in a broken post situation, I'd broken many posts in my childhood and learned that a standard number 2 pencil sized object is the perfect brace, as glue alone always wore off due to the constant tension of the ropes.

[@RazHolly]

I think you’re talking about the posts with the square tops? Those are later releases, these posts are original to the ring. That’s good to know about the pencil, I never thought about that

[@Tutnese]

@@RazHolly REALLY? I only ever saw the one's with the square platforms (which I hated). I'll have to find one of these now. BTW, I think I had a stroke mid way through my first message 🙁

No problem, I’m glad the video helped. Nope, I just needed the extra power to blast through the enamels.

Where did you get the elastic cords?

eBay. You can get the cords a bit bigger or smaller if you can’t find the exact size it’ll still work :)

Just stumbled on your channel! Cant wait to digest all the content! For the decals, did you download them or did you make them / remake them in like a photoshop type program?

[@RazHolly]

I found the file online, but had to print them a bit smaller. I measured the WWF outline on the ring, and printed the sticker sheet to make sure it fit

After the black and white sample, I printed it in color and laminated the sheet with LamiLable, a lamination sheet with sticky back
