Networks and promotion are out to make a show of it and showmanship..in moderation ..can make that fan impact. As long as it's about getting to the ring rather than loooong drawn out laser light shows standing in the entrance forever, it can work. Unfortunately now we see far too many shitty rappers yelling on half blown mics and dozens of hangers on clamoring to carry a trinket for the actual fighter of the hour.
I agree. They are overdoing it with the long, shitty light shows. A little, yes... But these guys take WAY too long to get to the fucking ring when they have these long and unnecessary catwalks!
