Lighting and media programming for the annual Super Bowl of wrestling
What did VE do?
VE has provided lighting and media programming for WWE for years — from Wrestlemanias 31 thru 35, as well as the ongoing WWE tour dates, we have supported their complicated live TV programming and visualization needs.
Where did this project take place?
Wrestlemania is a yearly event that takes place in various large stadiums around the country. 2015 – Santa Clara, CA; 2016 – Dallas, TX; 2017 – Orlando, FL; 2018 – New Orleans, LA; 2019 – Rutherford, NJ.
What was unique about this project?
The programming needs for WWE are quite complicated in that it is a televised sporting event with large amounts of support from production elements, and there are over 200 wrestlers that could come out at any given time. Our yearly task for Wrestlemania is to translate the intricate programming from the regular tour show into a stadium-sized production design, all while maintaining flexibility and creating maximum impact.
