WWE Rumors: Is Wrestlemania Going Back To Hollywood?
Devoted WWE fans know that January is the usual time of the year that the organization reveals its venue for annual WrestleMania event. The latest buzz now claims that it's going back to Hollywood, at the heart of Los Angeles.
According to What Culture, other rumors claim that the WWE organization is considering hosting the annual event in Florida, which had hosted two WrestleMania events in the past, once again.
WWE hosted WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 24 in the "Sunshine State."
While Los Angeles will not be hosting the upcoming WrestleMania 32 event, rumors claim that WWE is considering to host the annual event again in the area within the years to come.
On Jan. 24, the St. Louis Rams of the NFL confirmed that the team is moving to Los Angeles and plans to build the league's biggest stadium within the Inglewood area. The project will cost $3 billion and has a maximum sitting capacity of around 70,000. The stadium can hold up to 100,000 capacity if standing room areas are considered.
"We realized this was our opportunity," NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said of the venue per The Los Angeles Times.
According to the news site, the National Football League allowed the Rams to move to Los Angeles for the 2016 season. The league also gave the San Diego Chargers a one-year option to move to Inglewood with the Rams.
The proposed stadium by the St. Louis Rams is considered by many WWE enthusiasts as the perfect stage to host WrestleMania's return to Los Angeles.
The stadium's massive 100,000 capacity could also give WWE the challenge of selling out the whole venue, a feat that could prove that professional wrestling has not lost its appeal in the midst of several threats to its popularity.
The last WrestleMania event to be hosted in Los Angeles was WrestleMania 21. It was held at the Staples Center and saw a crowd of 20,193 wrestling fans who witnessed the event headlined by the bout between Batista and Triple H, and JBL against John Cena.
