Plexi glass would be way too dangerous. There is no give what so ever. Imagine getting slammed up against it. Heads could get busted, necks broken. It just wouldn't work out. It would also get covered in blood and sweat which would obstruct the view. Depending on the temperature in the arean it is also likely that condensation would form on the glass and hamper visibility.

All good points. It's a cool idea though, if all the logistics could be worked out. Don't think it'll be happening though.

That is a really good idea I hate fence grabbers especially when they've been told a bunch of times I'd totally go for that...

I much prefer the octagon over the ring.......way too much time is wasted restarting when tied up in the ropes.

You and your logic.
