Ready To Rumble In O-Town Tonight

John Handiboe, Hey John! What’s Going On?

The wait is over. The WWE superstars are ready for WrestleMania XXIV Sunday night at the Citrus Bowl.

Ric Flair, Shawn Michaels, Triple H and the rest of the WWE stars will go for the gold tonight.

Events leading up to tonight have been going on all week, culminating with the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony last night at the Amway Arena.

Tickets are still available for the event.

“It's the biggest night of the year for us,” said Chris “Y2J” Jericho.

It will be a big night for Orlando as well as nearly 70,000 fans pack the Citrus Bowl, potentially breaking all attendance records.

“It's like Christmas. When Christmas is around, you are a little excited. But when it's the night before Christmas, you just want to rip open those presents. You just get so excited about it,” said Y2J.

Y2J is ready for his ladder match. John Cena is looking to come back to regain the WWE Championship, battling Randy Orton and Triple H.

“No make no doubt about it that triple threat match is going to tear the house down,” said Cena.

There is a strong history at WrestleMania of the good guy almost always coming out on top.

“So basically what you are saying is good guys go over in the main event in WrestleMania. If that's the case then it's time for a change and you'll see it Sunday night,” said Orton.

You'll also see wrestling icon Ric Flair fight for his career. The thought of retiring dug up heavy emotion during my one-on-one interview.

“The opportunity to show everybody that I can still perform,” said Flair.

The outspoken Carlito also spoke about Flair and his opponent Sean Michaels Saturday.

“Don't get me wrong. Ric Flair is a legend. He did a great thing for sports entertainment and the world of wrestling, but it's time for him to retire. I'm not crazy about Sean Michaels. It should have been a retirement, retirement match for both of them,” said Carlito.

From trash talker to trash talker, the main event pits Floyd "Money" Mayweather against the Big Show.

“My ultimate goal is to try and stay away from the Big Show as much as possible and tire him out,” said Mayweather.

Catch all the drama and entertainment in Orlando Sunday night at the Citrus Bowl.
