Title: Favorite Wrestling Arena

I would have to go with Madison Square Garden. Maybe it's because I grew up in New York and am a fan of the Knicks and Rangers, but I think it's one of the most history arenas for the WWF, and (during it's time) was the most simplistic looking. The ring is lighted, with the crowd darkened. You knew it was MSG in half a second by just looking at it.
For runners up, I have to go with the Boston Garden and the Maple Leaf Garden. Not as good looking as MSG, and I hate Boston. For MLG, it had the awesome fucking ramp that WWE has never used elsewhere.

I'm a big fan of the Japanese buildings such as the Tokyo Dome, Budokan Hall, Saitama Super Arena, Korakuen Hall. In the US, I've always enjoyed MSG and I was lucky to see a Knicks game there once, and it's awesome in person.

Shelby City Park Recreation Center. I used to catch Mid-Atlantic there as a little kid, now I see indy stuff there regularly. For reference, check out the extras on the Ultimate Flair collection where Flair goes after Slater and Orton with a baseball bat. That's Shelby. About 2,000 seat capacity, lot's of history, cool place to see wrestling.

For Japan buildings, the Tokyo Dome does look pretty awesome and intimidating. God, I wish I could buy some old Puro soon.
