Televised wrestling is SO FAKE!!! Who want to see a bunch of actors get beat up on national T.V. That psuedo sport reminds me of the ancient gladiators in Rome getting beat up to the death. | ||

I'm not a fan of wrestling myself, but this is a huge event that I assume would bring people traveling to Detroit to see. Every little event to our area helps (or big in the case of WrestleMania. | ||

http://www.crainsdetroit.com/c gi-bin/news.pl?newsId=8300 Get ready to rumble: Ford Field to host WrestleMania next year By Laura Bommarito April 03, 2006 2:37 PM World Wrestling Entertainment has announced that it will present WrestleMania 23, on April 1, 2007, at Detroit’s Ford Field. The annual event is the largest put on by Stamford, Ct.-based WWE (NYSE: WWE), a media and entertainment company focused on scripted professional wrestling shows. This year’s WrestleMania was held April 2 at Rosemont’s Allstate Arena in Chicago, and generated $2.5 million in ticket sales. It set a record for the highest grossing one-day event in the arena’s history. Fans in more than 90 countries watched WrestleMania 22 on pay-per-view. WrestleMania III was held in 1987 at the Pontiac Silverdome and attracted 93,173 fans, often claimed as the largest crowd in the stadium’s history. A study done in 2004 of WrestleMania XX, held at Madison Square Garden in New York City, found that the event generated an estimated $13.5 million of new economic activity for the city and created the equivalent of 96 full-time jobs. Spending related to WrestleMania generated $2 million in city, state and federal taxes. | ||

I knew this was coming, at least I hoped it would. Some of you may remember that 20 years ago (well, will be 20 years when it happens) was Wrestlemania III, widely considered the best one ever, at the Silverdome. I figured they'd bring it to Ford Field for the 20th anniversary. I don't watch wrestling anymore, but I'll always be a fan, I've already got some people who want to go. Wrestling isnt as big as it was say 5 years ago, so I bet with 70-80k tickets to sell, everyone who wants a ticket can get one. (Message edited by JimElNino on April 03, 2006) | ||
