Ever since Swagger lost his smile and thus his push-up pyro, I'm trying to figure out whether there's just less pyro across the board nowadays, or whether it's just me. Seems as if there's a lot of superstars such as Swagger, Orton, Batista, and Christian that used to have pyro but now don't. I still miss Orton's waterfall pyro+pose entrance the most, frankly.
Off the top of my head, people that have pyro presently:
Morrison
Kofi
Mysterio
Jericho
Big Show
Edge
Kane
Primo
MVP
Undertaker
That really doesn't seem like a huge amount, considering the roster size, but I guess not everyone can have it.

I'd say theres probably more if anything. It's slowly increased over the years, I can't think of many people that had it during the attitude era.
They just seem to use it all the time these days for no real reason, it feels a bit over done sometimes.

When the economy went into the tank, there were reports floating around that they were trying to cut back on the amount of pyro they used.

That's the thing. They cut back on it for Mania this year, too. The Mayan temple tron was awesome, so you know where the money went. I swear, Matt Hardy's tron was almost seizure inducing at Mania. |

I love how the list of guys with pyro is "Upper midcarders, main-eventers...and Primo." Seriously, who decided Primo needed pyro? Also, off the top of my head...I think you're right, those guys are the only ones I can remember using pyro in their entrances. I struggle to remember when Jericho stopped using it...

I miss Orton's waterfall too like someone mentioned. Also HBKs classic pyro while he was in the ring doing the pose. Exploding firework pyro is pretty boring to me.

Less pyro along with less charisma.
