Get ready, because it's Wrestlemania time!

It’s here.

After years of not coming to Atlanta, Wrestlemania will be live at the Georgia Dome this Sunday. And I will be there covering the event for Score Atlanta. But even if I wasn’t going to Wrestlemania as a reporter, I had a ticket to go, because I was not going to miss this event no matter what how much it cost.

But why is Wrestlemania a must for any wrestling fan to attend? Mania is like the Super Bowl for professional wrestling. Many celebrities come to watch the spring event and some have even taken part in the festivities whether it’s being a wrestler, a guest referee, a guest host or a speical enforcer. There is an also a full week of events leading up to the event. It started yesterday when the wrestlers arrived to Atlanta. Mark Henry, John Morrison and WWE Divas champion Eve Torres were at the Braves game signing autographs. Wednesday marks the Wrestlemania Art event and it’s where some of the superstars and legends showcase their artistic side. That is happening at the Fabulous Fox Theatre.

From Thursday until Sunday, the WWE will take over the Georgia World Congress Center with Wrestlemania Axxess. It’s kind of like the NFL experience but with WWE divas, superstars, legends and celebrities. Plus, there is a ring located in the center of the World Congress Center where several live matches will take place. I will attend the event on Saturday where The Undertaker, Rey Misterio and Harley Race will be there signing autographs and taking pictures.

But I’m going have to hustle as soon as the event ends because I will be attending the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony which will be held at Philips Arena. This year’s class will include Abdullah the Butcher, Bullet Bob Armstrong, Drew Carrey (yes, that Drew Carrey who had his own sitcom on ABC and is now the host on the Price is Right), the original WWE Diva Sunny, the Legion of Doom with Paul Ellering, Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Mr. Wrestlemania Shawn Michaels. Solid class and I will have more to say about it on Thursday.

And Sunday is the big day. The show will last four hours and there should be plenty of surprises and tons of excitement. I’m going to get more in depth with the event later on in the week, but I have to say I’m glad to see the Rock back as the guest host for Wrestlemania. He has provided the spark to promote the event and it should be interesting what role he will play on Sunday.

There is no question it’s a big week here in the ATL. There has been a buzz about this event for the last five weeks and as the event grows closer, I’m getting more excited. This week I will have several blogs talking about the Hall of Fame class, which match I’m looking forward to, a look back at some of the best matches in Wrestlemania history and a big Wrestlemania preview. It’s going to be a fun week.
