What's everyone's thoughts on the Survivor Series stage/entrance ramp etc? Personally, I'm really liking the smaller sets like this one or the one AEW used at All In London and I could absolutely see this being the standard going forward for big events, it allows you to sell more tickets. Plus, every arena and stadium now have massive video boards so you don't need to lean on the main Titantron/Khantron as much for people in the cheapseats to be able to see the show. Last WWE and AEW shows I went to didn't even show the action on the tron, it went to a generic placeholder screen so scaling back on the elaborate sets makes a tonne of sense to me

I loved it, very old school and allowed them to pack in a few more thousand fans than usual. Reminiscent of Royal Rumble 2000 at MSG.

just give me this back once That’s not even the best Backlash set, that’s 2001 right? 2000 had the best set in my opinion |

I loved it. Like what was said above, it gets more people in the building and it’s old school, a great mix in my opinion.

Not a fan MSG for the Rumble. The entrance was too short. I like a bit more of a walk to the ring to build up the drama.
The 2019 Rumble that was in the baseball stadium was a cool set up.
The 2023 Survivor Series stage was a good set-up for War Games. It had that small part with the video walls by the entrance, and the little cages were a decent distance from the ring. Enough room to still have to run to the ring, but not the long walk of Wrestlemania in a stadium. (I love the long walk for Mania, makes it seem huge!) The big screen was over the ring for fans in the higher up seats to see.

I love the minimalist approach to PPVs (excuse me, PLEs), it gets more people in the arena and gives the show a much different feel than Raw or SmackDown. The problem with PLEs now using the same stage as Raw and SmackDown is it makes everything feel homogenized - Payback and Fastlane just felt like "Saturday Raw" or "Saturday SmackDown" - whereas the minimalist set designs emphasized that Survivor Series, Backlash, and Money in the Bank were all different, and thus, more important.
