What's everyone's opinion on entrance pyro? Is it really necessary in wrestling? What's your favourite entrance pyro? What's your least favourite entrance pyro? Who doesn't need entrance pyro? Who does need entrance pyro?
All these questions and 1 more to be answered... first by me... then you.
In all honesty, I think entrance pyro is necessary, only to make some people's entrance mannerisms less comical (Example: Picture Batista doing his machine-guns "dance" without the pyro and tell me you didn't laugh).
My favourite pyro is actually Batista, speak of the devil. The pyro coming across the stage instead of just going up like it usually does makes a great visual.
I actually don't have a least favourite pyro.
I don't know who doesn't need pyro right now, but why the hell did Ashley Massaro of all people get some?
I think Matt Hardy needs some entrance pyro. Matt has a "world" championship, but Jeff has the pyro. Isn't Matt just as over as Jeff?
Total uses of the word pyro in this post: 14.

Batista used to do it without the pyro.
It was only for a short while
And it was hilarious.

I used to mark for Christian's pyro back in the WWE.

I used to absolutely love Randy Orton's "Golden Shower" pyro he had.

I don't remember my girl Ashley having pyro.
I liked Orton's pyro "way back when"
One that I dislike, if only from a personal experience, is Kane's. At the first Raw I had ever been to, they came back from commercial break without any sort of commercial or ad right beforehand, so the arena is somewhat quiet and then out of the blue his pyro goes off and scares the shit out of me.

I don't remember my girl Ashley having pyro. Ashley's entrance pyro circa 2008 (about 2:32 in). I'm sure she used it the week after, so that discounts it being "welcome back" pyro. |

I'll use two examples of both good and bad.
GOOD CASE FOR PYRO---MVP: For this specific match, along with the cheerleaders, the pyro really made the entrance. (31 secs in)
BAD CASE FOR PYRO---Rey Mysterio: His opening bang pyro is fine, but the rainbow explosions for the side stage is a little much, and kinda corny. (3:41 in)
Just my opinion.

Most pyros are great.
But Masters' small fountains were absolutely weak, and I'm not a fan of Jeff Hardy's. I think they look a bit too generic for his character.

The Great Khali could use a nice bang for his pose on the ramp.
Edge's pyro seems to have very little purpose though.

Gillberg's sparklers is the greatest pyro in the history of our sport.
I like Booker T's and the dudleyz too.

I've always liked the sparkler shower pyros. I also liked Angles pyro.
some people just don't seem to have a reason for it, like Shelton Benjamin or Kofi Kingston.

I used to mark for Christian's pyro back in the WWE. Christian's entrance pyro circa 2001 (about 1:57 in). That's a really cool pyro, but this video made me sad. Afftr 8 years they never patched things up and Christian didn't even show up to his brother's wedding. So sad when brothers fight. |

It's cheesy as hell but I used to love Marc Mero's pyro from his wildman phase when there would be about 15 Catherine Wheels going off at the same time. Of course, there were always a few that didn't spin properly but it still looked cool (and cheesy).
(At about the 5:30 mark.)
I also loved when Sid's pyro when his name was spelled out.
(At about the 1:10 mark)
