This coming weekend could very well be the very best weekend of my entire life, and let me tell you why. The Klog and I will be joining my brother and four of our good friends in what will soon be known as the greatest road trip ever taken. Where are we going? Detroit, Michigan. And why are we going to Detroit? To see the biggest wrestling extravaganza in sports-entertainment history... WrestleMania! That's right... I will be among the 70,000 plus in attendance to watch the happenings of WrestleMania 23 unfold as it comes live from Ford Field.

I've been a die-hard wrestling fan for a very long, long time. I was first introduced to professional wrestling around the age of 5 and 19 years later I still manage to fit it into my weekly schedule (that makes me 24 for those of you doing the math at home). Saying that professional wrestling is a passion of mine would be a huge understatement. To date, I've attended several live wrestling events in and around the Chicago land area, but none will even come close to matching the event that will take place this Sunday.

To put things into perspective for you non-wrestling fans... sitting live at Wrestlemania is the equivalent to sitting live at the World Series, World Cup, or even the Super Bowl. In professional wrestling... WrestleMania is the end all event. It is where wrestlers become legends and legends become immortals.

When I was the kid, I grew up idolizing wrestling greats like Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Undertaker, Steve Austin, and The Rock. I fondly remember jumping off of my parent's deck delivering elbow drops to imaginary wrestlers, and having friends over (some of which who are onboard for this trip) and hosting wrestling matches in my back yard (some even consisted of ladders and plywood tables). To put it lightly... I'm obsessed, and there is no better place for obsessed wrestling fans than where I'll be this weekend.

Here's a quick glimpse at the 3 main events... I'm sure by now most of you have heard about the Donald Trump storyline where he has agreed to shave his head should his wrestler lose:
