ORLANDO, Fla. -- At least 40 people were hurt when fireworks and cables landed on the crowd packed in the Citrus Bowl for Wrestlemania on Sunday night, according to the Orlando Fire Department.

During the last fireworks event of the show, eyewitnesses said, fireworks plunged into the crowd and exploded. At least three people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with burns.

Firefighters with the Orlando Fire Department said the fans who were taken to ORMC weren't seriously hurt, but some of the victims said for them the WWE's reputation is now in bad shape.

Tens of thousands of wrestling fans flocked to Wrestlemania for the experience of a lifetime, but at least 35 fans left with ice packs on their necks and three left in an ambulance.

"It felt like a whip. I have a welt on my neck," said victim Barbara Vetere. "Like a baseball bat hit me. It was horrible. Horrible."

A pyrotechnics malfunction sent fireworks and hot cables flying into crowded stands during the final wrestling match.

"You can see the marks on a few people where hot wires crossed and fireworks touched them," said Asst. Chief Greg Hoggatt, of the Orlando Fire Department.

Firefighters said they acted quickly, but fans told a different story.

"We had to sit up in the bleachers and wait for a paramedic to come. They didn't really examine us. And we had to walk all the way down to first aid and had to ask for a bag of ice just to put on our head," Vetere added.

Channel 9 placed a call to the WWE to ask them how the accident could happen. The call was not immediately returned.

Well I know 40 people who will get a free trip to Houston next year. :lol:

A free trip to Houston, and an out of court settlement.

On TV I saw some fireworks exploding REALLY low, like right behind the stage. They'll have to rename them the nose bleed and burn seats.

Some pyrotechnics' heads should roll for sure.

Wow, not a good night for WWE power-wise. With power going out once, then fireworks into the crowd, not good at all. I feel for everyone who got burned.

WWE will now cut out all pyrotechnics

These people are probably playing it up so they can add emotional damage onto their minor injury suits

TNA was responsible.

I just read about this on my Wii, figured something about Mayweather, Snoop Dogg, etc. would make a headline. Instead this does.

The moment I read it, the R.I. Nightclub fire popped in my head. :(

Yea except nobody was seriously hurt here and like 2 dozen people died there. This was also an accident, apparently not negligence

Fan recorded video of the incident. Seems quite bad at one point. I think what makes it worse is that Takers theme is playing.

EDIT - Seems like Matt Goon has posted this as well. I did not receive this from him.

now we know why eric young ducks when his pyro hits

Somehow undertakers music fits whats going on in the video. Imagine if that had been kanes music. :eek:

Thats pretty freaky.
