These ropes are held up and tensioned by turnbuckles, which, in turn, hang on steel ring posts, which also support the frame. Some, like WWE, use natural fiber ropes wrapped in tape, while others use steel cables that are encased in rubber hose.Unlike a boxing ring, the ring ropes in a wrestling ring are not tethered together. The materials used for the ropes differ depending on the ring builder or promotion. Wrestling rings are generally composed of an elevated steel beam and wood plank stage topped by foam padding and a canvas cover.Around the ring are three ring ropes, one fewer than modern boxing rings, which have had four ropes since the 1970s.
