Why is Wrestlemania 25 in Texas? Obviously, wrestling is huge in Texas, and WWE knows it can draw a crowd. Another reason: some of the most veteran performers comesfrom our state. Here are some Texans to keep an eye on:
John Bradshaw Layfield - The Sweetwater standout turned ACU star defend his Intercontinental Championship against Rey Mysterio. You can count of JBL to deliver a rough, smash-mouth performance in front of his home state. He's proud to be from Texas...and even more proud to have made enough money to move away!
Shawn Michaels - Michaels is definitely one of Texas' favorite sons. He was able to sellout the Alamadome in 1997 and has always bragged about being a Texan. However, cheers from this Houston crowd won't come easy. He'll be fighting for attention with his opponent and other native Texan.
Undertaker - The Undertaker is a Houston native who also has a home in the Austin-area. He'll battle fellow Texan Shawn Michaels. These two have had classic battles of the years and are expected to have one of the night's best matches. Though he's a resident of Houston, he's billed as being from Death Valley, California.
Mark Henry - The 1996 olympian is a product of Silsby, Texas near Austin. Though he's been around wrestling for more than a decade, this will be his biggest Wrestlemania match since his battle with Undertaker at Wrestlemania 22.
Shelton Benjamin - Benjamin isn't from Texas, but he moved here as soon as he could! Benjamin is a product of the University of Minnesota where he was an All-American. He'll be competing in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match where he's shined over the past few years. He's a Houston resident...will a hometown Wrestlemania finally be his big break?
Plenty of Texans to root for at Wrestlemania. Expect Shawn Michaels and Undertaker to have the biggest nights!
