They don't even have titantron entrance videos anymore do they? By "entrance videos" you mean something other than superstar's name in a different graphic? No they don't How dare you forget the iconic Orton sentence fragment of IN MY VEINS?!?! |

Well considering 99% of their entrance graphics are god awful MS Paint level creations...I'm not terribly hopeful. Also not sure how I feel about "side door entrance" but we'll see how it looks in practice. The entrance is by far what bugs me the most about it. Why on earth is it shoved off to the side like that? It looks so jarring, and like it'd make it a lot harder to design graphics around. |

Who cares? I only care about that square in the middle of the building. Presentation accounts for a ton, especially given how much screentime is devoted to the opening of each show, people's entrances, people coming out during promos, the shots of the commentators standing around talking to the viewer, and occasionally people cutting a promo on the stage. The right aesthetic can do a lot to make a show feel more special, like how a lot of the old on-location WCW shows were generally terrible but still very easy to picture 20 years later, and WWE's choice of aesthetic is overblown digital vomit. I get all of that. But in my opinion, all of that is second to the actual wrestling. That is what I enjoy about wrestling. |

Here's a bigger shot of it. The obsessive compulsive freak inside of me is going livid right now at how the ramp does not match up with the entrance. |

I think going up the half pipe and grinding on the Titantron is how you get to the secret tape.

Seth's going to come out skateboarding to the ring with his backwards hat on.

Here's a bigger shot of it. I think I like it. It looks special unlike a lot of the other sets when they're turned on. We gotta see how it is when it's time to go though because that says everything. Could be good, could be bad. I expected worse though. |

I mean... it’s not terrible per say, just a bit much. Need to see how entrances correspond with it before I give true judgement

Here's a bigger shot of it. It looks like m courtain but with a hole in it. That is all  So the stage is basically just a giant LED screen? |

looks like they ditched the LED Aprons.. or maybe they only have it on the hard cam side.
It's one of the few LED bits I liked.
The off center entrance tunnel seems like it's going ot be annoying.

It'd be a lot better if the entrance were centered and if they ditched the billion much less sleek side panels.

Wouldn't be surprised if SmackDown's stage is a stripped down version of this.

I can see why the entrance wouldn't be centered, if they have the name graphics beside them as with previous trons. Rather than having to make them shrunk down and duplicated, just have it on one side and it'll be able to be bigger and more visually distinctive.
That said, as a whole, this... Doesn't look great, at first glance.
