Almost twenty years after Wrestlemania III appeared in Detroit, Michigan, the wrestling spectacle returned again to bring wrestling's finest together for Wrestlemania 23. Just like the Super Bowl of the NFL, Wrestlemania, http://www.wwe.com/shows/wrestlemania/, is the known as Grandest Stage of Them All, bringing a showcase of the immortals every year.
The spectacle of Wrestlemania, brings together is it's greatest wrestlers to compete against each other for their top championships, and has many celebrities take part in the festivities. Just as in Wrestlemania 3, Aretha Franklin will sing, "America the Beautiful," and John Cena will defend his championship in the main event for the second straight year, the first to do so since Hulk Hogan.

Wrestlemania 23, also sees Donald Trump make his fifth appearance in the Battle of the Billionaires, where he will compete against owner Vincent K. McMahon in a hair versus hair match. Both will be represented by WWE Wrestlers, Trump with Bobby Lashley, and McMahon with Umaga. The loser must shave their head bald, and this plays on Trump being known for having a bad hairstyle.
Also, Detroit is where a reported record-setting 93,173 fans filled the Pontiac Silverdome in 1987). This Wrestlemania also will see a attendance record breaker where a Ford Field record 80,103 fans will attend.
Wrestlemania 23 ticket sales stand at over $5 million USD. This makes WrestleMania 23 the highest-grossing pay-per-view in WWE history as well as the highest-grossing event in professional wrestling history, shattering the previous record of $3.9 million USD held at WrestleMania X8.

Yea of course, ha. It's the male soap opera. I have always been a fan, and I think it is because my grandfather always use to watch it when I was younger. Some of the things that go on are too funny to believe they even happen.
I have to agree with Dr. J. I never understood the appeal of wrestling either. Give me a football or baseball game anytime. But, everyone has their own tastes.
but what about Junk Yard Dog?
Eh, but I really only liked the cartoon...
