There is an arena in Japan that I don't know the name of but I'm sure someone here does. All Japan used to run it probably about five years ago (Maybe still today) for their B-Shows or House Shows or whatever you'd like to call them. Anyway, it has this beautiful glass work and colourful patterned glass. The building looked so peaceful and nice kind of like a church. Kyoto KBS Hall? If so, agreed. It's beautiful. Not sure of the name of the place, but Dragon Gate recently ran a show here: That's the one! I figured someone here would know it. Absolutely beautiful building.

Absolutely beautiful building. I kinda had to dig to find it. But I knew what you meant and wanted to share it. Another one is actually where ROH is running tonight, the Turner Hall Ballroom in Milkwaukee.

I'm a sucker for outdoor shows, especially when nearly all of it is in daylight like this year's WrestleMania at Levi's Stadium was. Just so different from the usual setting, I think.

I love them too but the only part I hate about it is when guys like The Undertaker come out and daylight. Outside at night his entrances are amazing. Bray Wyatt this past year would been 100% times better in a night setting. I just think about WM 29 with the zombie hands that likely wouldn't been scene in the day time.

I'm kind of surprised that the WWE has never built an small arena near Titan Towers as a de facto home field, that they could run a few times a month and rent out for concerts and other entertainment options. Seems like it would have been a better investment than creating a bodybuilding federation to compete with the WBF, a football league to compete with the NFL, Linda's various political runs, and paying Alberto $1.5M.

Definitely the Hammerstein Ballroom. Its my favorite venue I've ever seen wrestling at. No matter where you sit, you feel close to the action. But sitting on the floor is awesome, because of the sound wall from the balconies. And it looks super cool on tv.

When ROH recently brought their TV tapings here in San Antonio, it was ran in a Shriners convention center. Saw close up one of the Japanese wrestlers(forget his name) warming up in a hallway with a couch and a wall full of photos of shriners. Oh, and this venue had a disco ball. Was thinking of Brodus Clay every time I saw it.

The Hammerstein and The Grand Ballroom, and the Easton Funplex, because I've been to the greatest shows in those places and had the most fun.

Ooh, I've actually been there once, for a Dragon Gate house show just over two years ago. The window style was nice but it was a rather small arena. Could hear the women calling out the names of the wrestlers beside the entrances. Didn't even know the name of the place, was just walking by one day and saw they were selling tickets.

I do love the design of The Temple for LU. It's incredibly well thought out. The epic long stairs entranceway, the office used as a place to brawl in and jump off of. It's a character in itself

I really like the Sacramento Memorial Auditorium, it's a historic boxing venue but also has hosted some wrestling shows.
