    I define this by meaning the first one with music and a bit razzamatazz. I know ringwalks have been with us for decades but I'd be grateful if anyone could help.

    I'm writing a piece on ringwalks y'see (sounds boring but it wont be :good

    I'm pretty sure there was a fight with Corbett where his opponent pretended to get into the ring but let Corbett enter the ring first (Corbett was champion) and it really annoyed Corbett.

    Can't think of the first ever ring walk but it probably would have been around the late 60's early 70's
