Unique WWE venue ideas

[4TheGlory]

I think it'd be really interesting if WWE shook things up a bit and every once in awhile got away from the generic hockey/basketball arena and did some new types of buildings that would give the show a real unique look

I always thought Radio Music Hall would make a beautiful wrestling venue:


as well as PNC Park in Pittsburgh:


What are some unique places that you'd like to see a WWE show held at?

[Drillbit Taylor]

Any MLB park for SummerSlam or a fall PPV called Fall Classic.

I always loved how the Hammerstein Ballroom looked. Really any arena with colorful backgrounds would come off as drastically different.

I think the radio city music hall would be great, or any theatre for that matter with the fans only facing one side of the ring.


And have the ring set up on the stage so everyone has a good view and it makes the superstars look "larger than life" when they are on a platform raised higher than the seats.

and also when promos are being cut all memebers of the audience are always being faced

Come to think of it diddn't TNA run a house show in New York once in some concert venue where the ring was set up on stage and all the fans were facing the same side?



I really liked that episode of Shotgun they did in the tube station.


Taker piledriving HHH on the escelator was awesome.

Since it is still in use, Olympic Stadium In Montreal

Edinburgh castle would be fantastic, especially as they already have the stands.



Shame they didn't use the Olympic Stadium in London when it still had the screens on each seat as that would have been fantastic for wrestling entrances.

[Ishmeal Loves BBL Bayley]

Arthur Ashe stadium in Queens would be a really cool venue.



Its basically an open-air arena with a smaller floor space and the stands go way higher up. Do it without the giant, extravagant entrance set. Let the sea of people surrounding the ring tell the story.

Find the biggest beach in the US and have SummerSlam there.

[Spearmint*]

The massive problems of it being in Croatia and it being a football (or soccer) stadium so it would need a massive amount of renovation for a Wrestling show, it would be a fantastic visual to a see a match with the cliff face behind it. I'm sure WWE's production could put up some great light display up on it.

The Fall Classic is pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure the MLB recently trademarked it.

Arthur Ashe Stadium would be awesome, but I don't think there's enough room to do any kind of entrance or have TV production equipment and it rises too steep to put it in front of the stadium seating like they normally do. Of course they could always produce the TV from where the produce the US Open broadcasts but it would look quite a bit different.

I am dying for them to use some unique venues. That was what made WCW so fun during the Bischoff years. He would set up a ring anywhere in the country where they would let him. They had Bash at the Beach on the Beach, Road Wild in Sturgis, Spring Break Nitros in the middle of swimming pools, Nitro in the middle of Mall of America. They even had WCW Saturday Night in downtown Charlotte! It really made them look like the biggest thing in the world.

For the UK, the Royal Albert Hall would be a neat place to do an old-school show:

[Bo Rida]

I think wrestling is still banned from the Royal Albert Hall.

[miffy]

There's that ancient arena somewhere in France they've used on tours before, that'd be a great visual.


EDIT: Arena of Nimes.

[doinkmark]

WWE's TV production and large set probably wouldn't allow for this, but what about running in some giant playhouse? WWE promotes itself as entertainment anyway. Do a show treating it like the live theater it is. Or run in a giant movie theater. You could follow up a live wrestling show with a WWE Film.

I'd dig the hell out of that. It's almost like a modern-day gladiator pit.

[THRJamesAngelo]

The Gorge in Washington. I would have the stage as the entrance ramp and have the ring in the middle of that pit area. I dont know how well GA would work, but it would be a cool visual.

Why is it banned?

That's Estádio Municipal de Braga, which is actually in Portugal. One of my picks, actually, with the other being Stade Louis II in Monaco:

I would love Summerslam in Wrigley Field. that would just be an amazing sight!
