WrestleMania


WrestleMania, the biggest event in the wrestling history. It is roduced annually in late March or early April by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It is considered the flagship pay-per-view event of WWE, as it is the most successful and longest-running professional wrestling event in the world.

WrestleMania is nicknamed "The Grandaddy of Them All", "The Grandest Stage of Them All" and "The Showcase of the Immortals." The event was first produced in 1985, and 24 editions have been produced as of 2008, with WrestleMania XXV to be held in 2009. So WrestleMania is 25 year-old this coming April.

Conceptualized by WWE owner Vince McMahon, WrestleMania has become one of the most prominent events in sports entertainment. Its widespread success helped transform the professional wrestling industry and make the WWE the most successful promotion in North America.

WrestleMania has facilitated the rise to stardom of wrestlers such as The Undertaker, Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin, The Rock, and Triple H, amongst others. Numerous celebrities such as Muhammad Ali, Mr. T, Alice Cooper, Lawrence Taylor, Pamela Anderson, Mike Tyson, Donald Trump, Floyd "Money" Mayweather, Snoop Dogg, Raven-Symone, Kim Kardashian and others have participated or made special appearances in the events.

The WWE's television shows are tailored to reach their climax at WrestleMania, which features matches for the company's championship titles, as well as specialty and gimmick matches. Participation in a WrestleMania match, and especially the main event, is considered by many wrestlers and fans alike as one of the greatest achievements and symbols of success in professional wrestling.

It will be my most anticipating pay-per-view through out the whole year. So see you WrestleMania at 5th April 2009!
