What kind of Equipment does WWE use?

So I'm wanting to someday work for WWE as a set operator/designer. Currently the stages the use are all LED. I'm wanting to learn on my own how to manipulate LEDs to do what they do every week on their shows. I can already tell they use various LED tech So here is what they have from what I can attain through pics.



Here's the full set, The first piece of equipment I see would be the LED tubes used for the top most bar. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24g0gly%26amp;... What I question is How are they able to produce the RAW logo with these tubes because I've only seen tubes that can just change colors.



The next piece of LED tech would be Strip LED's I believe They are on the tower on the far most left and the section of leds between the Tower and the Square panels/TV. Here's a up close look at them. They are the lights running behind this up close shot of THE WWE logo they have sitting on the stage http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=dvrepg%26amp;s...



The last piece of equipment Would be the curveatron, that's what I believe they Reference it as. I think it's made of LED panels but I'm not sure because they curve. They are the section of LEDs sitting under the television. Here's a pic of them up close, it's the best I could find for an up close shot. http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1ibtr5%26amp;s...



And finally here's a pic of how the set transforms to a wrestler's entrance, in this case Chris Jericho's entrance, http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=oidg2a%26amp;s...



So that's it. I really want to start experimenting on working these LEDs so that's why I am trying to find out what tech they use, if I could find a way to talk to their guys that actually do this stuff would be great but they like to be tight lipped, o well. But yea thanks for any help and for reading this Long post.What kind of Equipment does WWE use?
