Howdy, Partners! How Many Times Has WrestleMania Stampeded into Texas?
Ah, Texas. Land of big hair, bigger steaks, and apparently, a giant appetite for professional wrestling throwdowns! WrestleMania, the granddaddy of them all, has been touring like a rhinestone-encrusted bull for decades, hitting up stadiums across the US of A. But how many times has it set up shop in the heart of the Lone Star State? Buckle up, because we're about to answer that question, with a little extra yeehaw thrown in for good measure.
Hold Your Horses, We Got Stampede-Sized Stats!
Drumroll please... Texas has been the chosen land for a whopping four WrestleManias! That's right, folks, the squared circle has been set up in the heart of Texas four times, proving there's a deep-rooted love for professional wrestling throwdowns down yonder. Let's take a victory lap down memory lane and revisit these epic Texas-sized WrestleManias:
-
WrestleMania X-Seven (2001): Held in Houston, this iconic event featured "The Rock" going toe-to-toe with "Stone Cold Steve Austin" in a match for the ages (and a ton of beers!). Stone Cold even stunned the crowd by driving a beer truck to the ring – now that's an entrance!
-
WrestleMania 25 (2009): This WrestleMania returned to Houston and witnessed the legendary Undertaker extend his undefeated streak at WrestleMania. That man just wouldn't stay down for the three count, much to the dismay of his opponents.
-
WrestleMania 32 (2016): The Dallas area played host, and this WrestleMania claimed the attendance record (at least according to The Rock himself!). With over 100,000 fans in the stands, it was a spectacle fit for a Texas-sized celebration.
-
WrestleMania 38 (2022): The most recent Texas-based WrestleMania was a two-night extravaganza held at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. It was a marathon of epic matches, featuring the return of wrestling legends and the rise of new superstars.
So, There You Have It, Partner!
Texas has proven itself to be a hotbed for WrestleMania action. Who knows, maybe someday we'll see a five-timer WrestleMania return to the Lone Star State. One thing's for sure, if it does, you can bet the crowd will be rowdier than a herd of longhorns and the matches will be bigger than a Texas-sized ego. Yeeehaw!
