>>8591317Just gonna speak on the ones that I’ve been to cause wrestling venues all seem the same when I watch them on broadcast.
>Amalie ArenaPretty soulless and I feel like that goes for most WWE arenas. Every show is constructed to make you feel like it’s from a generic city.
>The Orpheum in Ybor CityFucking kino environment. It attracted hipster wrestling snobs, as well as straight up marks. The shows I’ve been to there have all been bangers, and the fact that they would have street fights on 7th Avenue added so much to the shows.
>Lakeland armoryToo many damn bumpkins in that place. Intimate settings are fine, but I’ve never seen so many lumpy country fucks in my life
>HammersteinThe venue itself is absolutely beautiful, and the visibility is phenomenal. Fans were so engaged and irreverent. You’re guaranteed an awesome time out there.
>Madison Square GardenThe centering of the ring makes it feel like you’re in some collesium. The fans are all tightly surrounding the action, and they’re locked the fuck in.MSG has a way of making anything there feel important, so you know whatever you see is gonna leave an impression on you.
>Kawasaki metropolitan gymnasiumMeh…
>the Tokyo dome It would be considerably more fun if Japanese fans let a little more loose, but they’re a bit too polite for their own good, and the place feels kinda cavernous, almost like a warehouse. It’s awesome though how the dome gets darker as the show gets more intense though.
>Raymond James StadiumOutdoor stadium shows are just so immense. You get such a feel for the expanse of the event as you’re literally watching the sunset while the show begins. Plus the pyro set up is awe-inspiring. Only problem is the possibility of rain. That said, I hope that mania doesn’t shy away from open air stadiums.
