WrestleMania 26 in Arizona

[Xero]

From PWInsider:

A press conference will be held tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 PM Pacific to officially reveal that, as expected, Wrestlemania 26 will be held at The University of Phoenix Stadium, which can hold upwards of 70,000.

Representatives of WWE, The Arizona Cardinals, Global Spectrum and Glendale, AZ Mayor Elaine Scruggs will be present at the announcement.

Arizona had been expected for well over a year as the city was actively campaigning for the event in mid 2008.

[Nark Order]

Holy shit, I may be going to this. I'm not all that far away (California)

[Juan]

Looks like I'll be attending my first WrestleMania next year :y:

[johnsmagic]

With wrestlemania being in Arizona next yr can we expect Arizona born wrestlers to be put in the hall of fame

[DaveWadding]

Can we say "TPWW Meet Up" For Fucking Sure!!!

[Nark Order]

Yeah, if we're ever gonna do it... next year would prolly be ideal time.

[Juan]

I'm in

[DaveWadding]

I will probably go to the PPV, but even if I dont, I want to drink with you motherfuckers and make fun of Kobe Bryant all night :love:

and I'm making RoXer go...who doesn't love RoXer?

[RoXer]

You guys can sleep in my car if need be. Plenty of room in there.



Naaahhhhh I'm just kidding. I'll only hang out with the cool crowd (not wrestling forum posters)

[Innovator]

[Team Sheep]

I'd love to go to University of Phoenix stadium. Doubt I'll be at Mania next year though after I'm going this year, and I'll be at college and stuff, but we'll see :)

I couldn't help but laugh at the Wikipedia page for WrestleMania 26:

"WrestleMania will feature professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that will be played out on World Wrestling Entertainment's (WWE) primary television programs. Wrestlers will portray a villain or a hero as they follow a series of events that build tension, and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.[4] All wrestlers will be from the WWE roster."

[Xero]

Can't say it's inaccurate.

[Blue Demon]

No, but was there a need to point it out?

[Mooияakeя™]

Thinking ringside... thinking, save up, thinking FUCK YES!

Also got some friends in cali too, ain't seen them for like 8 years, maybe it's time I picked up the phone...

[FourFifty]

I might be forced to scope it out.... 4 hour drive away from 29 Palms, I think.....

[Jeritron]

Only a 4 hour drive? Oh you're FORCED to go

The person who wrote this is going to look mighty stupid if the WWE does a one-shot deal with a celebrity or outside talent to wrestle on the card. :shifty:

[Mr. Nerfect]

Apparently the theme of WrestleMania 26 will be "Destruction in the Desert," or something. Here's hoping that we get the return of the orange ropes!

I guess it isn't known yet whether the WWE will use digits or roman numerals, or a mix or whatever, but what does everyone think they should do? WrestleMania XXVI, WrestleMania 26, WrestleMania XX-6, WrestleMania Two-Six, WrestleMania Twenty-Six -- some samples.

It's an OK logo I think. Any one else think it kinda looks like Crush's Orange trunks?

[Blue Demon]

Wayne Gretzky may be involved next year some how:

Dunno if that will be the official logo. They always release preliminary logo for these press conferences when the venue's announced, but the official logo is usually released closer to the time. For example:

I love how the guy included a citation for that. I wouldn't have believed him otherwise.
