Reason WWE Stopped Using Pyros During Entrances

Many of you may have aware that there hasn’t been any pyros being used on WWE television lately. It was most noticeable at Sunday’s WWE Great Balls of Fire event when Brock Lesnar was making his signature entrance to the ring and no pyros went off and all you heard was Brock’s scream.

Dave Meltzer discussed the reason why pyros haven’t been being used on WWE programming lately during the Mailbag segment of today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer claims that WWE decided to stop using pyros as a cost-cutting measure. The company believes the pyros aren’t needed so they just stopped using them.

WWE Bans Another Term from WWE Programming

It appears that WWE has banned yet another word from being used on WWE programming.

Bryan Alvarez mentioned on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live that the company is no longer using the term “Money in the Bank Briefcase.” Moving forward announcers and talent will refer to the briefcase as the “Money in the Bank contract.”
