When will we see the next STAGE change?

[Brett]

Despite some small changes we have had the same basic smackdown and raw HD areana's now for 4 years.

When do you think we will see the next big change too the stages? Sometime in 2013 maybe? i think the WWE could do with a whole new areana too freshen the place up a bit.

 

[Prodigy]

Very much doubt it, reason being is the current sets look modern, until they start looking out of place WWE won't change them. They are cheap for WWE to transport, and are specifically designed for WWE's filming set up.

 

[Brett]

So prodigy does that mean we are stuck with the current HD sets forever??????

 

[Prodigy]

Not stuck with it forever but I doubt major changes are going to happen for a long while.

 

[Brett]

how many years is a long while?

 

[Prodigy]

Jesus Christ, until Vince dies.

 

[John McHenry]

A major change 3-5 years would be my guess I think we'll have more minor changes until then. I just wish they'd change the intro music Nickleback is nowhere near the popularity of when they switched songs. And of course the belt (which I predict will happen within the next 3 years)

 

[We Are Legion]

Something small changes every year. I wouldn't exactly call the HD set a "major change" tbh, the old set would have worked fine in HD too.

Frankly, the increase of super shows and the brand split fading into shades of gray recently was a major change. I'd like to see Smackdown phased out as an important show and the two championships unified and exclusive to neither program. I could actually see that happening within a couple years.

I think HD sets will probably have the longest run in WWE history so far. in the next 3-5 i would like too see more variations in the set like they did with the raw is war areana from 1997-2002. maybe add more screens too the HD sets?

Someone needs to spear Jericho through the set and force this issue.

Wheres Rhyno when you need him?

I've always hoped they'd bring back the unified title and make it a title that you have to be a champion in order to be eligible to contend for it. You could lose either belt after winning you just would have to have a belt to contest it. And make it available to all champions.

What do you think the next major big set will look like in a few years time?

 

[Andrew]

If there is to be a new set that comes out in say 3-4 years time, I'd assume it'd be more futuristic in a way where the entrance stage will have the tron playing on the floor or something.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

I care more about the product then the set. I care more about the matches than the set. I care more about the characters than the set. It's also not even a bad set so I really don't care when they change it.

But yeah Nickleback sucks they should change the theme song, though. So does the current Green Day. Oh well, I usually dislike the themes for everything WWE does.

That's a good point, new theme song for both RAW & SD. I wish they'd use 16VOLT or Staind for their new song... Something on the hard rock area.
