More than a thousand WWE fans gathered at the MSG box office early this morning in hopes of snagging tickets to WWE's premier annual event, which will be seen by millions around the world on pay-per-view. A capacity crowd comprised of fans from 16 countries and 34 states is now set to attend WrestleMania XX at MSG, which will be held on Sunday, March 14, 2004, and seen live on pay-per-view by residents of more than 90 countries. "Let the celebration begin," declared Kurt Schneider, WWE's Executive Vice President, Marketing upon learning of the ticket sale results. "WrestleMania XX's return to Madison Square Garden is going to be the best of them all. We want to thank our fans around the world for their support of WrestleMania XX. This will be a great event for WWE, a great event for our loyal fans, and a great event for the city of New York." All available tickets, ranging in price from $54.50 to $754.50 (where you can sit ringside and keep your commemorative WrestleMania XX ringside chair), were committed in a matter of minutes between Internet orders and the line gathered to buy tickets at the MSG box office. Schneider noted that some additional tickets might be released closer to the event once staging requirements are determined. Madison Square Garden, "The World's Most Famous Arena," has been an integral part of WrestleMania history. Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman, held the first WrestleMania at MSG in 1985, and the Garden also hosted WrestleMania X in 1994. Three generations of McMahons have promoted successful boxing and professional wrestling events at the Garden for more than 80 years.

Guest Bobby Cox is God Report post Posted September 30, 2003 You can register your name, Dale Earnhardt had his registered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobber of the Week 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2003 No, there's a difference between ™ and ®. A ™ is free and you just add it yourself. A ® has legal binding and requires that you show the government you're the only guy who's ever thought up anything like that. Dale Earnhardt would have needed proof he was the only Dale Earnhardt on the planet, for instance. This is why only the really important stuff like "WrestleMania" gets the R.
