Wrestlemania 27

WrestleMania 27 is over and in the books.  The WrestleMania experience has grown to become a week-long celebration of sports entertainment fandom and includes WWE fan Axxess, The Hall of Fame Ceremony, WrestleMania itself, Monday Night RAW, and several additional events around the community where the event is held.  This year, fans traveled to Atlanta, GA from 30 countries and all 50 states to witness the culmination of a year’s worth of buildup and the beginnings of the next.
 
Edge performed in what turned out to be his last match ever.

 
Up-and-comers like Cody Rhodes proved they are the future of the company.

 
The veterans, Triple H and the Undertaker, stole the show and showed what storytelling is all about.


The Miz solidified his place in the company as a main event star.


The Rock gave the fans what they wanted so badly, returning to Wrestlemania and electrifying like only he can.


WrestleMania has been called many things including “The Big One”, “The Grandaddy of Them All”, “The Showcase of the Immortals”, and “A Renewal of the Spirit”.  A “Renewal of the Spirit” is what resonates most with me.  I’m a man of many pop-culture/entertainment passions but sports entertainment is by far at the top of the list.  There’s nothing like being fully immersed in your passion with over 70,000 fellow fans.  Attending the Hall of Fame ceremony and being able to pay tribute to my childhood heroes, some who are no longer with us, is an unparalleled experience.  WrestleMania 27 was the 11th time I’ve attended the event live and I’ll be there next year on Sunday April 1, 2012 for Wrestlemania 28 as The Rock returns to the ring to face John Cena.  It’s something I plan on doing as long as I can as it truly does renew my spirit.  Find what renews yours.
