10 Stages To Setting Up A WWE Arena

10. Getting Everything To The Arena

What an ordeal for those involved. They're arguably the most integral part of the show, without them, the superstars would merely walk out of a door way and wrestle on the concrete floor. Several lorry drivers make their way across land and sea during night and day to make sure the stage, ring, lighting rigs, control stations, monitors, television control equipment, cameras, and everything else is in the right place at the right time. When the company is on the road heading to a RAW or SmackDown taping, they require no less than 12 lorries of the size pictured above to cart all of this all over the place. Here's a secret you probably already knew: there's more than one WWE ring. And more than one WWE house show staging area (which looks nothing like the titantron we see on RAW and SmackDown) That's because when the company is on the road during the week, they host shows in more than one city at a time. For example, during the recent UK tour, shows were happening in Newcastle, England and Dublin, Ireland at exactly the same time. The logistical planning that has be put into that sort of operation.... Mind boggling.
