The GOAT stage setting :ohlawd:

I love the short MSG walk away positioned on the camera front of live television
It gives MSG an identity, and just looks cool

PRIDE. :wow:

Japan is just getting back to it's former level right now in wrestling, but I've always liked Kazuchika Okada's entrance from this year's WrestleKingdom:

Hiroshi Tanahashi (c) vs. Kazuchika Okada (NJPW) - Video Dailymotion

From 9:36.

Of course, you can go old school dome show for this (I love the elevated ramp with the people around it. So simple, yet so effective):



And you can't talk stages and entrances without talking Genki Sudo:



Coliseum stage+THAT entrance= :noah:

Shout out to Sumo Hall as well, which has an entrance which operates on the same principles as MSC's old configuration. Crazy fans swarming you makes everything look big time:

Shinsuke Nakamura (c) vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. (NJPW) - Video Dailymotion

From about 4:30. Bonus points to using the roof as a part of the show.

Thanks for the references fam that's exactly the type of shyt I was thinking about especially those Wrestle Kingdom shows. Those Japanese motherfukkers do it godzilla big when it comes to entrances/stages.

:mindblown: @ that Sudo entrance put's Taker & Hogans most memorable entrances to shame. fukking spectacle!

I doubt that it'll ever happen but if Coke Boy booked a Mania in Japan and got a Wrestle Kingdom style set up shyt would be straight :blessed:
