Ring Intros In or Out of the Ring?

[Greer]

Do you prefer more of the "ECW" style intros when the wrestlers are already in the ring at their corners or the traditional on their way to the ring?

Either one give the match a better, big match feel?

I think the in-ring gives it more of a big match feel.

I like the in ring promos for title matches only. I actually wish they would to that more often for IC and US title matches also, to make them seem more important.

I remember a few years back they did it for a Women's Title match with, IIRC, Mickie James and Beth Phoenix. With that kind of intro, it made it seem like big fight.

I like the in-ring intros better for big matches only. I think the intro on the way to the ring works better most of the time, but the "in this corner..." style seems much more serious.

I prefer the in-ring intros for big matches only. I'm kind of hoping they do it for Rock/Cena simply because of the dream match scenario and the atmosphere in Miami.

I'd say they should only do in-ring for title matches, I feel it makes the matches seem more important for some reason. I loved it when they started doing it for all title matches about four or five years ago, it stopped pretty quickly though.

I remember when they did it, as they hadn't done it for a Women's Title match before, I knew Mickie was winning. Still remember being there for that...

I'd rather they just do it on the way to the ring and then get to the match honestly.

If I could buy into title matches being big matches, then I could get into the in ring introductions...but 99% of them aren't and the introductions don't make me think otherwise.

I really love the intros WWE does for title matches these days. I really really love it. It makes everything feel more important, and reminds me of how intros were handled in ECW and even in Japan. Anytime WWE does something that reminds me of a promotion that I have fond memories of, it's a good thing IMO. I wish they'd use it for all title matches though, because I think right now they only use it for WWE and World Heavyweight Title matches.

I'm not a fan of it being done in every single match. I think the in ring intros should only be reserved for world title matches, and bigger named mid card and tag team title matches as well as the final grudge match in a blood-feud.

I like it in the ring every match. It gives a better gauge of how loud the crowd is popping for someone when there isn't loud music playing and commentators trying to talk over it.

i like the inring intros but only for special matches like title matches or grude matches it gives it a special big fight vibe
