I'm Going To WrestleMania! "I'm comin'. Nobody can stop me, nobody can hold me, no one control me. I'm comin'!" Those lyrics from MVP's entrance music say it all, because I'm going to WrestleMania XXIV! Sean came through with tickets. We're in section 226 of the Citrus Bowl, whereever that is. Who cares? I don't. All I care about is that I'll be there for my first live WrestleMania. Me and Sean, and The Undertaker, and Edge, and Triple H, and Shawn Michaels. And whoever else isn't injured or suspended for drug violations by the time March 30, 2008 rolls around. You know who won't be at WrestleMania? John Cena. And that means my greatest dread - Cena ending Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania with me in attendance - won't happen. Which is good because that probably would have driven me insane. But now I can stay sane, which is just the way I like me. March 21, 2007
Orlando or Bust When one considers the list of injustices throughout the course of human history, there is one that stands out at the very top: On March 29, 1998, I did not get to go to WrestleMania 14 in Boston. I didn't get to see the only WrestleMania held in my hometown. I didn't get to see Stone Cold Steve Austin win his first WWF Title from Shawn Michaels with Mike Tyson as special referee. I didn't get to see the first Undertaker vs. Kane match. I didn't get to see Kane tombstone Pete Rose. All my friends got to go and see WrestleMania 14 live. Hell, Sean has even been to a second, WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles. Douchebag. But not me. Why, you ask? Because despite all pleas to listen to reason, my sister decided she just had to get married on March 29, 1998. As if there wasn't any other day of the year she could have had her wedding. To this day this remains a raw, bloody open wound. Ten years later I'm finally going to get the chance to make that wrong thing right. WrestleMania 24 was officially announced today as emanating from the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, Florida on March 30, 2008. Only the second time in history WrestleMania will be held in an open-air arena, the legendary WrestleMania IX from Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas was the first. Let everyone be put on a full year's notice: Don't you try to screw me and plan anything else for March 30, 2008. That's my mother's birthday, but sorry, mom, I'm not gonna make it. As for the rest of you, friends and family, I mean it. Don't get married. Don't have a kid. Don't die. Don't do anything. I don't wanna hear it. I'm not coming. I'm going to WrestleMania. |
