10 Most Disappointing Wrestling Entrance Stages Ever

Since 2014 WWE have relied on a standard set for most of their weekly programming and PPVs. The stage has evolved in both scope and style but its uniform nature has tried the patience of many fans. As much as it is frustrating to see PPV events conform to the same generic template production wise, there are some valid reasons for the change.

The WWE Network was rolled out in February 2014. The initial financial impact was substantial and the cost of designing, producing, and transporting new sets for every event on a growing PPV calendar was simply too much.

The entrance stage personifies a lot of modern fan's frustrations with the current product. It's a safe, inoffensive, blocky affair that has no personality or unique characteristics by design.

When the set became the go-to for some of the biggest events of the year, it came across more as a result of a lack of creativity or effort than a stylistic choice.

In a way, the set is too much. The huge screens, illuminated ramps and ticker tape bars do nothing for the superstars or moments they are supposed to accentuate. Design wise, there is nothing to hate about the set but at the same time there is nothing to love either. John Cena and Roman Reigns will both tell you that a bad reaction is much better than no reaction at all. Unfortunately, that's exactly what this stage warrants.
