Well the obvious follow-on question is how big is a wrestling ring? I suspect you'd end up with a military transport type to get the combination of floor area and height.

Boring reality check: unless you actually want to stage bouts in flight, I can't imagine having a permanently set-up ring in the aircraft would have any advantage over storing a packed-up ring and marquee in the cargo hold and setting them up quickly on the ground outside the aircraft after landing. But that's just not as cool, is it?  ;D :mellow:

Why not use a seaplane and set up the ring on the wing centre-section? Could be highly entertaining when someone gets thrown out of the ring: "two falls, two submissions or one loud splash....." :wacko:

Ah, but what if it were a pirate wrestling federation and had to operate in international waters (or over them!) like pirate radio?
There are no good kits, bad kits or grail kits, just kitbash fodder.

Where would it land though: there arn't many extra-territorial airports? Back to a seaplane, methinks...

Of course, the other option, with loads of space and a huge free advertising opportunity, would be an airship.... :wub:

That's what I thought, too.  Bummer.
