Wrestlemania 23 – All Grown Up

Wrestlemania 23

I have always been a big wrestling fan, but sometimes I am into the stories more than other times.  I have been a little out of the loop the last two years or so until recent weeks when the “McMahon vs Trump Someone’s Leaving Bald Match” was announced.  It will pit Umaga on McMahon’s side vs Bobby Lashley on Trumps side in Detroit in front of a Ford Field record crown of 80,103.  The time has arrived and my wife and I are watching the Super Bowl of wrestling with full anticipation.  I will keep you posted on each match and of course provide details on who gets their head shaved.
