mayor de la cultura pop estadounidense. 

"El 25 Aniversario de WrestleMania probó que todo es más grande en Texas,"
señalo John Saboor, Senior Vice Presidente, Eventos Especiales, World Wrestling
Entertainment. "La gran ciudad de Houston dió la bienvenida a miles de fanáticos
de la WWE que viajaron a Houston desde todo el mundo y ayudó a convertir el 25
Aniversario de WrestleMania en el mayor evento en toda la historia de WWE." 

En marzo, se anunció que WrestleMania XVI se llevará a cabo en el Estadio de la
Universidad de Phoenix en Glendale, AZ el domingo 28 de marzo, 2010. Información
