Joking aside, the WWE sets up and takes down their own equipment.

OOOOF

ight imma head out

Youre fired!

Only the ones up here in canada

Nope. Just sprayed the color white all over the floor after putting the water or whatever the substance was to I would guess somewhere around freezing

Cynical Adapter LMAO this is in Tampa, Florida There is a huge cooling process under the concrete that freezes the ice above it.

@@coolerbot6603 I'm sorry I didn't know. I've never worked at a stadium for that type of stuff. I just went off what the video showed

@@cynicaladapter2009 Well you know now and that's all that matters

WOAH! A BESTI SQUAT INTO A POPUP POWERBOMB! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT COLE!

GOAL! GOAL! BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY HE HAS SCORED A GOAL!

I SWEAH THAT STICK IS BROKEN IN HALF

He had a family dammit.

What is he... oh no no no no OHHHHHHH A HUGE COLLISION AT CENTER ICE CAN YOU BELIEVE IT COLE!!!

***** Why were they late? Didn't think so lol the guy simply wasn't a try hard and knew he could get the job done in time. Why you hating??.............. The guy who goes as fast as he can to impress or the guy who is calm and knows he has his shit done on time with NO stress? LOL

***** exactly. the guy on the right didn't start until the guy on the left was done with the outlines, but still managed to basically finish at the same time.

Wizdigo Yes. He started earlier and finished later. The guy on the right started after the left one was already half way done and yet he finished before the left one.

@@sand6601 yeah sure buddy

Nobody: KZfaq: wanna see time lapse?

KZfaq algorithm for ya

Fuck now I noticed that it was 7 yrs old

In that case, the ice would've been present but covered up for WWF. Building it up like this takes a few days.

Agree, these people are amazing and the ice is there, remember being at the Omni in Atlanta, watching Hawk/Laker game, and could feel the cool coming up through our pants leg, we had a portal floor seat behind Laker radio back to Los Angeles, the next night the Flames host the NY Islanders, the ice is there. Thank you Billy

In 3 hours? Damn they’re badass!

@@rgkong8783 could see it for a house show. As all they need to do is remove the ring, maybe lighting above the ring and chairs. There would be floor boards covering the ice which is typically done. Following the removal of the floor, a couple scrapes and floods and it would be good to go. I’m assuming either in this situation in Tampa that it was going in for the first time for the season or the Lightning were away on an extended road trip and they had multiple events at the rink which required a floor.

@@scottcostello1786 As a former overnight conversion guy at the Amalie Arena (former TBTForum), the only time the ice is gotten rid of is at the end of the season, so this definitely would have been a late September or early October WWE show, because the ice only gets put in anew once, due to the amount of water and paint involved. Even if there's multiple floor show events on an extended away trip for the Lightning, the black floor planks help insulate the ice to a degree.

Bikechanic me too man

The Benny Hill theme would be more appropriate 😂

Oh, wow

I didn't think a comment like this existed here. But I had the volume down and the King Of The Hill theme was automatically playing in my head. Only thing missing was Hanks head spinning into the logo lol.

It takes about a week to lay down the ice

Tim Wolfe to make the ice? I've done it and it takes multiple layers

Tim Wolfe "It's a living, breathing apparatus," Nick Kryshak, the Devils' official ice technician at the Prudential Center, said of the flawless polycrystal plane he's created. "It's not too hard, it's not too chippy, it's not too soft. Every little thing matters. You want that perfect consistency. Achieving that perfect consistency is an arduous task. Building a sheet from scratch takes four days, with veneer-thin layers of water successively frozen and leveled in a carefully controlled climate."

Tim Wolfe most arenas aren't "state of the art"

The Rock isn't even 10 years old.

All they would have to do is put the basketball flooring over the ice

Why would the game be canceled? This isnt baseball lmao. Hockey and basketball is an indoor sport

Wow Pow roads and airports closures due to extreme wheater

@@EldubeG25 I dont think theres been a canceled NBA or nhl game in a long time

@@EldubeG25 most likely the teams would just play in an empty arena. I think an nhl game back in 80s or some shit was in an empty arena because nobody could make it to the game

yeah me too

+AJ Brandonisio They usually do put a floor down, at least during the hockey season. I work at a smaller arena that had Monday Night Raw a few months ago and we had put flooring down because of the hockey team that plays here as well.

After the ice is laid, they cover it during the season

+AJ Brandonisio Most rinks do. they have pipes under that concrete floor. The solution in the pipes drops to sub zero temps. and that makes the concrete and the ice just under 25-ish

they just cover it, this video shows them converting from WWE right into ice in a the beginning of the season. in the summer the ice plant is shut down and the ice is removed.

Some they do. Hockey though, almost never. For this exact reason. You might have a few dozen games a year, and the transition between them takes only a couple days. Most sports are outside and suck for acoustics, plus aren't available year-round thanks to weather.

As far as I know, all the NHL venues are multipurpose. Staples Center (where the Kings skate) also houses the Lakers and Clippers (NBA), as well as concerts and other events.

They are for a team, but make money renting to other folks. City builds with primary purpose of housing one or more local teams with the benefit of renting to whatever works in there.

Most stadiums have concerts and things at them

Me too dude

Mind blown

Alex Hess No, because I know how ice works, lol. Glad you learned something, though!

They paint the ice white so that it better hides all the marks made from skating. Clear ice would start to look like crap after a few minutes of hockey.

It also is for contrast with the puck.

They dont paint the ice they paint the floor then the ice goes on top

props to the camera man

@@pottsie_era 😒

@@pottsie_era good job ruining the joke by explaining

Done by Speedsters

I appreciate it

@@envychan Done similar work myself for 10 years, nothing on that scale now but was always nice to get a simple thank you. Alot of people don't understand the amount of effort that goes into.

@@davidmurphy8364 Yeah we always get thanked by the folks putting on the show, but every now and then it just feels good getting a thanks from anyone for spending all those hours building the show for others to enjoy.

@@envychan I know the feeling bro it's thankless work mostly but glad I can let you know that there are people out there who honestly appreciate the hard work :)

As a stagehand for an arena and a venue it’s nice to receive thanks I don’t think people realize how many hours go into putting on a show

😂😂😂😂

Literally freaking ants bro it's incredible

It was sarcasm.

LOL!! ROFLCOPTER

It's sped up, but maybe they're just really fast idk

They dont do it every week. They don't take the ice up everytime they have an event, it would be too costly and they would loose to much time when the arena can host things. The ice is laid at the start of the season and covered when not needed.

They better pay me 100k a year

Thanks

I know right?!

@Roy Sunshine Not saying that they are. Just learn to appreciate the work that goes into their job. No need to be a dick about it.

@Roy Sunshine I guess you were never appreciated by someone while doing your own job bud.

@Roy Sunshine I can only assume your job is hella easy if you don't have any respect for hard work. Building a wwe show takes like 14-16 hours then the teardown takes like another 5-6 same day. The glass and ice process takes 7. Not saving lives but building show's that size and making sure everything is right is more stressful and tiring than you think.

You feel bad over a foundation level thing that no one thinks about aside from the people doing it? That's like saying you feel bad because you didn't know that spiders help kill the bugs in the house 🤦

@@6ANUR34DT81S you sounds miserable

I guess its diffrent for every stadium and its use. Maybe WWE just doesnt like ice and pays extra not to have any.

What about monster trucks?

Endermen be like:

@@stevesavage4296 Calgary lost their Jumbotron in a flood once... Can't even imagine how much it would cost to replace it.

The screen in the middle is usually attached to motors of some kind so it can be lowered to the floor for maintenance

***** I'd watch it when I was bored.

***** no it wouldn't they are professionals so they do it faster than anyone else

thats also true

***** actually, because they spray such a thin layer of water on at a time, it doesn't take too long to freeze. if you ever notice after the ice is resurfaced between periods, there's still little puddles of water on the ice with a couple minutes left in the intermission, but by the time the players come out, it's all frozen.

iliketohelppplz takes about 2 days.

I know what you mean. They started that in the late 80's. Fucking sponsors.

+Jon Stefanik Just be glad this is NHL and not the Swedish Hockey League. They have to plaster sponsors all over the uniforms of their players.

Brians Art for Animals There would be no NHL without those ads

well, no big salaries without them..The NHL makes a ton of money from other deals. I wish for one game (winter classic) they could keep them just off the boards.

Ikr. It is so pretty without ads

So true. From wrestling to rodeo to concert to basketball to monster trucks 😂👍

That's a nice time lapse i tell ya hwat

Alot of arenas do have floors that go over the ice during other events but I've seen those destroy the sheet of ice underneath so some facilities just build a new sheet everytime.

Decades ago, now I think the Seattle Coliseum now climate, pledge arena, built the basketball floors on top of the ice. And when some ice melted and came through the floor, Seattle Supersonics, Spencer, Haywood, slipped and got hurt, and ended up suing the arena.

Yeah they were on the road from December 3, through the 12th of 2011, and the Raw that year there was on the 5th. Not quite midway but not early early either.

Their making sure everything works.

It's because often times, they have music playing over the PA system, and in most venues, the video boards, scoreboard, and PA/sound system are usually linked together in the production chain.

and it helps to see what we are doing

At the rink I work at one year a guy spilled a whole tray of red paint. you just wait for it to freeze and you can scrape it up with a knife fairly easily, takes forever tho to fix a big spill like that.

Same. It's gotta be a mess

Skeets McGrew they’ve probably got drains and water vacuums ready to catch the water afterwards 🤷🏾‍♀️

WWE Raw is boring as fuck

I think the WWE event might have occurred in September. Meaning this would be the initial ice layout of the season.

+Luc Michel Right you are, Luc...this full, new ice setup only happens 2-3 times a year, when the schedule of the building requires full floor use (e.g. rodeos, motorcross). Otherwise, insulated pads are put over the ice rink. Naturally, these full rink re-icings are kept to a minimum from September all the way (if you've got a good NHL team) to June.

+King Bee true
