My friend and I are starting a backyard federation (we are partly training) and I was just checking out how much gear costs. Quite an interesting read actually, take a look. Also, all of the rings and cages etc are the cheapest model.

16' Wrestling Ring Standard Package = £2281.37

However, if you buy the parts seperately...

Deluxe Wrestling Ring Frame = £1983.06
Wrestling Ring Aprons = £175.491
Wrestling Ring Heavy Canvas = £245.688
Wrestling Ring Metal Turnbuckles = £10.4944
Wrestling Ring Padding = £421.181
Wrestling Ring Ropes = £315.889
Wrestling Ring Steel Cage = £1052.96
Wrestling Ring Turnbuckle Pads = £105.298

Interesting eh? Too many clothes to go through, so that should do for a bit.

Here's all the information:

Rules

1. If you're uncomfortable with a move, don’t do it.
2. ALWAYS talk during match.
3. Try to talk to the wrestler about the match before it happens.
4. Try and practice beforehand.
5. Always say if you cant appear at a show / PPV.
6. ALWAYS listen to Prez

Ring Plans

The cheapest and easiest way to build a quality, 14'x14' ring is simple. Buy four 6x6x12 posts from a hardware store. Dig four holes four feet deep and put the posts in each hole, then cover it up with dirt. Go to a local junkyard, get as many old tires as you can. Stack them two or three tires high leaving no empty space. While you're at the junkyard, get as much foam, padding, and carpet as you can. Go to a hardware store or somewhere and buy a 14x14 piece of plywood to cover the tires. Place the foam or any other type of padding you have over the plywood. Go back to your hardware store to buy twelve i-hooks, twelve turnbuckles, three big cables, and enough rope to go around the whole ring three times. Put the i-hooks into the poles, put the turnbuckles into the i-hooks, run rope from turnbuckle to turnbuckle, and then when the rope goes around the whole ring, clamp them together with the cable clamps. Tighten the turnbuckles and you have a good quality ring.

Commentators: My mate / Me
Ring Announcer: Me
Commissioner: My mate

Props

Ropes = Cables
Ring Posts = posts

Padding = Mats
Turnbuckles = I Hooks
Rope tighteners = Cable clamp.

Anyone know how much any of the ring parts are (read "Props" section for more information)

If this takes off, I could make a little side-business from this!

Yer i have the video Best Of basckyard Wrestling Volumes 1 & 2, (nice vidoes of Major Guns) its well funny seeing those little kids putting there lives on the line. This 9 year old kid got powerbombed through a piece of wood on fire by his big brother (The kid wanted to do it) as soon as it happened he ran and dived into his pool, it was well funny.
