WWE Royal Rumble 2000: 6 Observations From Triple H Vs Cactus Jack

4. MSG-Style Staging

It used to be a much-welcomed tradition to flank the lone ring in the arena with 360 degrees of loud and passionate New York wrestling fans. It was a beautiful thing, and somewhere in between moving towards high definition programming and a stronger relationship with mainstream pop culture, a wrestling tradition was replaced with a huge flashy stage and a ramp, disguising Madison Square Garden on television as just another venue. Royal Rumble 2000 is a gem in the rough appearance-wise, bringing fans back to the old MSG staging, which some may argue is an ode to wrestling€™s past. There€™s something beautiful about the squared circle standing the tallest without an outside force trumping over the talent in the ring.
