Meh. Can't say I particularly cared for the last one either. No gain, no loss.

Probably looks better in HD. I notcied when Jericho came out, he had a ton of "noise" surrounding him because of the video in the background. I didn't watch all of Raw, so I don't know what it looks like for everyone, but I noticed Jericho's enterance didn't look so hot in SD.

It looks like someone placed some random cylinders all over the place.
I don't really like it.

If I could change one thing, I'd have made the ramp a screen too. Ahh, brings back memories of that one wrestlemania where the city backdrop looked like it was on fire and the ramp looked like a road of flames When Kane made his entrance.

A little change is always a good thing in my opinion

I wish I knew what it was supposed to be. There's just random shapes all over the place. I sat there thinking "Did they put this together the wrong way?" It would be one thing if they had two of those columns framing the set, but having one randomly in the middle of it looks weird. And while I appreciate having a screen up top to show the show's name...why is it that huge round tube thing?
That said, I like the changing backdrops for the wrestlers. The "crowd" of fans jumping around behind HBK looked neat.

That would be XX, and the NYC skyline... and yes it was awesome also I like the new set, I think it will look better once they get more "sets" for each wrestler

I like this set but it seems like it should be used for a PPV and not for TV every week. It is way too big and extravagant for just being on TV.

I like it, but I have two gripes about it
1. It's too big. All the LED stuff is cool but really unnecessary. Then again I prefer the small sets of yesteryear (entryway and small titantron)
2. I'm gonna get WCW flashbacks with them using the same set for every show.

Eh, I'm indifferent.
At first, I thought it was "Save Us" Jericho-tron or something, then that mutated into Casino night on Raw, but I dunno, it's colorful to say the least. It'll take some getting use to.

My jaw dropped when seeing it. I was just expecting a cosmetic change like theyve done for the longest time, not the complete remodeling they've done.
I grew to like it as the night went on. I especially liked that little part where it plugged the Royal Rumble, and as someone said earlier, I am sure they will fill out the other video parts with extra stuff for the wrestlers and not just Jericho.
I wasn't a big fan of the pixelated look either when it got close-up, but hey, the NFL pregame shows get away with the closeup pixel effect for an entire show and not just a few minutes of it, so I can deal.

I think the new set is pretty damn awesome. I was really tired of the old titantron

I thought the old Raw set looked like crap, so I like the newer set. It's more colorful, but at the same time it looks a little more minimal than the old set, which looked like it was trying too hard to have a unique design. I didn't like that futuristic look, I actually preferred the old Raw set where it was just some banners strung up on scaffolding.

Love the new set, just wish that the different shows had different sets, as compared to them all having the same 1.
