    MESA, AZ (KNXV) — A Mesa grandmother who spent hundreds of dollars on materials to build a mini wrestling ring for her grandchildren says the contractor she hired took the items and disappeared. Lisa Boshears has four grandsons and one granddaughter, ages 2 to 9, who love WWE wrestling. She shared videos of her grandchildren’s reaction of pure joy when they were surprised with a wrestling-themed Christmas tree.

Boshears said when the kids recreate wrestling moments in the house, it increases the ‘wear and tear’ on the furniture.

“They’ll jump on the furniture and go up, and just dive on the other boy on the ground. Then they’ll say, I got the smack down for you, I got the smack down for ya,” Boshears said with a smile on her face.

Last fall, Boshears thought of an idea to build a mini, padded wrestling ring for her grandkids to play on and practice their favorite wrestling moves.

“I’m going to make a ring for them, I’ll be the best grandma ever,” Boshears said.

Boshears had the space all figured out for the project. “Move that tent out of the way and that right there out of the way and we’ll have all that room right there,” Boshears said.

She also planned out the design.

“I’m getting these colored…” Boshears said.

Boshears hired a friend of a friend who works in construction. She bought about $500 worth of materials and dropped them off with the contractor.

As Christmas came and went, Boshears said the contractor ghosted her after the holiday and stopped replying to her messages.

“I want to tell him, no hard feelings, my grandkids did nothing to you, don’t take it out on them,” Boshears said.

ABC15 reached out to the person Boshears hired but have not heard back yet.
