Wrestlemania 26 tonight

It is Wrestlemania 26 tonight. The Super Bowl of wrestling emanates from the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ. It's a funny name for the stadium since U Of Phoenix only owns the naming rights, since it has no athletic program. It's one of those vocational colleges like DeVry or ITT Tech. Anywho, me and my friend Blair toyed briefly with idea of going after having a great time at Wrestlemania 24 in Orlando, but I'm glad we didn't, as Wrestlemania 27 will be in Atlanta next year. I won't bore you with all the matches, but the two that are showcase matches are Shawn Michaels vs. the Undertaker and Bret Hart vs. Vince McMahon.

Shawn Michaels vs. Undertaker is a career vs. streak match. Elliot Thorn's favorite wrestler Shawn Michaels is putting his career on the line against the Undertaker's undefeated streak at Wrestlemania. It is a rematch of last years stellar Wrestlemania match. Should be another good one, even though the Undertaker is a year older and limpier. Hopefully he has another awesome match in him.

The Vince McMahon vs. Bret Hart is a match no one thought they would every see. Google 'The Montreal Screwjob' for the history between these two. I personally thought I'd never see Bret Hart at a live event, yet I saw him February 1 at Raw in Nashville. The WWE usually has a huge storyline during the road to Mania, and this is this years, and while it hasn't been the best of all time, it has been interesting.

All that and Blair has promised to make some sort of interesting beef dip so it should be a good night for this wrestling fan. Oh and my half of the pay-per-view cost is my birthday present. Score!
