EC3 and Austin Aries have come out against the six-sided ring making a return in TNA. As previously reported, TNA is holding a vote on ImpactWrestling.com whether to permanently institute the six-sided ring again starting with next week’s Impact tapings in New York. The two TNA wrestlers posted the following on Twitter today opposing it:
This is why democracy doesn't work.
You people should not have a voice when it comes to my well-being and safety.
#Traditional
#4sides

You want a 6-sided ring once a year?
Fine, I can compromise. Call it "Six-Sided-Fest" or something.
But wrestling belongs in #4sides.

So the people who don't wrestle are letting people who don't wrestle decide what I have to wrestle in? Great idea. My body, my vote. #4sides

What's wrong with wrestling? Letting people who've never done it, and never put their bodies on the line, run the show. #DoesntWork #4sides

Please understand, I DO think the fans voices should be heard, and I'm all for an interactive experience, BUT I'm not sure…

…this is the appropriate place for it, nor do I feel the potential risk outweighs the potential benefit for the wrestlers.

For those curious, I find #6sides to be far less forgiving on the body and harder to maneuver around, especially on the top rope. #4sides

Guess I accomplished stirring up some debate on #4sides or #6sides. We all have opinions, and I shared mine from a different perspective.

Please don't misinterpret #6sides as unsafe or dangerous. Decision makers at @IMPACTWRESTLING would never put us in that position. #4sides
