Your Guide to Wrestlemania Weekend in Orlando: TNA, ROH, UXW All Crashing WWE's Party

Wrestlemania is always the biggest date on the wrestling calendar. Now the entire weekend has become a huge fan convention, with other promotions presenting shows and trying to draw money and attention. This year, the wrestling world will come together in Orlando, Fla., on the weekend of March 26-30.

Ring of Honor started this trend four years ago by presenting a show on the weekend of Wrestlemania ROH will be making its first trip to the South with a pair of shows.

Orlando is also the home of the No. 2 promotion in America, Total Non-stop Action (TNA) Wrestling. TNA is taking advantage by delivering its first live Impact TV show, followed by two more days of TV tapings.

It all adds up to a lot of fun for wrestling fans, and it certainly could cost a lot of money. That's no problem for wrestling fans, who will often devote much of their disposable income to their favorite habit/obsession. I sure did, before I became an announcer.

Here is your day-by-day guide to Orlando's wrestling smorgasbord, which will be the biggest weekend in the history of the business.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 26

Wrestlemania weekend will actually kick off in an art gallery. Jerry Lawler, Vickie Guerrero and other WWE stars will auction off their artwork for a variety of central Florida charities. For more information on "WrestleManiArt," go to www.redchairproject.com.
