These all are great halls, but I once saw an indy show at a run down hall across the street from a "gentleman's club" in Detroit.
THe hall had drop ceilings, and someone went for a superplex and put their opponent's feet through the ceiling.
So that one.

Realized I mentioned this arena when there was a similar thread back in 2015, but the Golden Dome in Monaca PA from various ECW shows, about as close to wrestling inside Spaceship Earth as you're going to get.
A few of the smaller venues that AEW has been through have had unique looks to them... I can't remember exactly where it was, but I think the last show with a full audience pre-pandemic was at a college fieldhouse (I also want to say in Pennsylvania) which had like giant paper lanterns at the club level.
Still would like to see them try some more outdoor amphitheaters this summer, or do a poolside set-up like WCW at Club La Vela.
Edit: Also, the Dalton Arena in Raleigh.

Allstate Arena. It's kind of a craphole, but the acoustics make for a raucous crowd. Most of the best venues for anything are shitholes. It's part of the fun in a way. |

2300 arena/Viking hall/asylum arena/ECW arena, so many memories of various shows there.

Forgot it was renamed...of course Allstate Arena was the famous Rosemont Horizon. Believe part of Wrestlemania II took place there. And of course XIII  |

Hammerstein ballroom for a smaller venue and the United center for a bigger arena and for an old school arena it’s a tie for me between the Boston garden and the mid south coliseum

The old Boston Garden was an absolute shithole, but I loved it.

I always thought the nightclub that would host Nitro every year, the one with the pool around the ring, looked really cool.
