Wrestling is Madness in March

Wrestlemania. It is the biggest event of the year in the wrestling business. The crown jewel, the Super Bowl, the "grand daddy of them all" - the event. It's an event that gathers the entire industry, blurring company and organization borders, in a celebration of the most important date in the industry.

Except for this year.

With a legit number two and three organization in North America (albeit very far behind) Wrestlemania for the first time, has become a larger weekend event. With all three major promotions running huge shows in Orlando, the new "Wrestlemania weekend" (March 26th-30th) can potentially create a form of legit competition in the industry again. Orlando, Florida will be the capital of the wrestling world for this one week with four huge shows and neither company wanting the title of "worst show of the week", especially between TNA and ROH.

Here is how the week will look:

Thursday, March 27th

TNA iMPACT Live!
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling reaches another milestone in its short existence by producing its first live televised program.

Friday, March 28th

ROH "Dragon's Gate II"
Ring of Honor Wrestling will import the Japanese stars of the Dragon Gate promotion for its debut event in the South.

TNA iMPACT Taping
TNA will tape the April 3rd episode of iMPACT.

WWE Axxess Tour
The WWE will begin an interactive tour leading into Wrestlemania.

Saturday, March 29th

ROH "Dragon's Gate II"
ROH will return for another show with the stars from Dragon Gate and ROH.

WWE Axxess Tour concludes at the Citrus Bowl, home of Wrestlemania.

Sunday, March 30th

Wrestlemania XXIV
WWE presents Wrestlemania XXIV from the Citrus Bowl.

On this weekend, Orlando, Florida will be holy ground for every wrestling fan's religion. A chance for a rebirth of the industry. An opportunity for that blind fan, to see, and to view other products. And a quest for those lost fans, a reason to be found, on the new evolution that is professional wrestling. March is indeed madness. For a few weeks in the NCAA, and now, for four days in Orlando.

Dear Son, Big Fan of the Kid Turning Seven

---7 Years Old --- Dear Son,  It’s been a while since I’ve dropped a few thoughts. Forgive me, I’ve just been watching. Just observing. Taking it all in. Trying to be a good dad. I’m punching the keys today from one of your martial arts practices. It’s your second with “the big kids” and also the second time I’ve found myself watching from the sidelines with anxiety, with pride, and with likely my biggest fandom for you yet in this space. My feelings are much more than you playing baseball or coaching you in basketball. Your disposition is different. Your excellence is different in this space. With martial arts, you stay diligent with the process. Respectful. Working hard. Getting better. In competition with and respecting the older kids you are training with. That’s what I’ve enjoyed. It encapsulates everything you’ve grown into thus far. Still empathetic as ever, but adding an element of self-ambition and drive - something I’ve prided myself on - and to see you mature into this m...
