WrestleMania 23... Priceless!
This past weekend in Detroit was without a doubt the single greatest weekend of my entire life. Ford Field opened its doors to over 80,000 plus wrestling fans on Sunday for the WWE's yearly WrestleMania event, and I was proud to be among them.
If you didn't catch my previous post, then I should probably inform you that I've been a wrestling fan for most of my life, and that attending WrestleMania has been a life-long dream of mine. Every year, WrestleMania travels to a different city (usually cities near the coasts) and after missing our chance to attend last year's event in Chicago, my friends and I were dead set on making it to Detroit. And we did!
Here are some highlights from the trip:
- Sharing a hotel room with 5 other gassy men
- Sitting 10 rows from the floor at WrestleMania
- Watching Donald Trump shave McMahan's head
- Watching the Undertaker go 15 - 0 at WrestleMania
- Listening to 80,000 fans "boo" John Cena
- Watching a fan get beaten for getting in the ring.
- Owning up to a massive $200 bar bill
- Running around the Hotel with Lucha Libre Masks
- Doing wrestling moves in the hotel room
- Sleeping like 8-hours over the 3-night weekend
Here are some of the photos from the trip:








All in all, it was superb trip and I'll certainly take away many fond memories from it. In fact, there's already been talk of taking a repeat road-trip down to Florida next year when WrestleMania 24 invades Orlando. As of now, I doubt it will happen, but then again, a year ago I doubted that I would have attended this past event in Detroit. I guess we'll have to wait and see!

Indeed it was a tremendous trip. Except for that stupid TomTom. Damn him and his not recognizing ongoing construction thus leading us into the ghetto. Also how bout when we picked up those....well i guess they were hookers but i don't remember paying. Jokes buddy. Great trip and i'll work on getting tickets to the Orange Bowl for WM24.

Greg... TomTom is the coolest invention since the Internet bud. How dare you speak badly towards it. I'm so looking forward to a "hooker-free" WrestleMania 24 in Florida. Make it happen!
