I knew that Wrestling was big in America, but until I lived here I didn't really understand just how big it was. Actually it really wasn't until yesterday that it hit home. Glendale hosted Wrestlemania XXVI at the University of Phoenix Stadium.

The stadium itself is in walking distance of our house and every time there's an event, they close our streets so that random event visitors can't park there. We have to flash our "yes, honestly we live here so let us through" pass at the nice Policeman whenever we try to get back to our house. And we did just that driving back from the grocery store last night. I remember thinking, that can't be for the Wrestling surely.

Now, bear in mind that the University of Phoenix Stadium hosted the Superbowl a couple of years back and you get some idea of how popular Wrestling really is here.
