On whether pyro is important to a wrestling show:
EB: Yes, it is. Sometimes you have to make decisions to make money but by not having pyro in every show it also gives you the opportunity for your PPVs, or a special match that you are going to have on television, to then use pyro and make it feel like an even bigger deal. If you are constantly using pyro you get so used to seeing it that it doesn’t really matter much anymore. I am sure they have to find all kinds of different ways to continue to save money. It’s just the nature of business. As far as having to get rid of pyro goes I don’t think it’s the end of the world at all and I think it provides them the opportunity to make something even more special when they do use it.
