2 TNA Stars Speak Out Against 6 Sided Ring
TNA stars EC3 and Austin Aries took to Twitter to speak out against the proposed return of the 6 sided ring, and have posted the following:
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.

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