[quote name='HydroX']Production costs and hauling all that stuff overseas[/QUOTE]
This mentality concerns me - not you specifically, but I think what you're implying is consistent with what a lot of fans expect. They want the "trimmings" of a pro wrestling show. The idea is that the product is "less than" if it fails to include the video screen, pyro, lighting effects, etc.
I truthfully love watching the old WWF programs from MSG. No video or pyro, entrances, the classic microphone hanging from the ceiling in the ring, etc. The old smoky arena look. That, to me, is...pardon the overused word, but...vintage. I dig it, I'd love to see less lighting, less emphasis on the trivial things that we seem to demand. It's important, but it's overused. Run-ins are, today, 100% accompanied by theme music. Are the show producers magicians? No, they simply know that fans won't identify the disconnect between a "spontaneous" run-in and having that person's music cued up.
I'm not insisting that wrestling lose those trimmings - of course, it's part of the appeal. But I don't think it is absolutely necessary all the time for a television program. Take the show on the road, show us what a sweet international crowd thinks of the roster. As long as you have the wrestlers with you, what else do you really need?
