10 Fun Facts About My Trip To WWE WrestleMania XXVI

Bates Motel, Hulkamania backpacks, Jericho's shoe, Vegas and the end of HBK.

With the Royal Rumble in the history books and WWE on the road to WrestleMania, my countdown of WrestleMania trips leading up to the show in Dallas continues this week with my 2010 trip to see WrestleMania XXVI in Phoenix, Arizona. Since I'd never been to the West Coast for a prolonged period of time, my friends and I decided we'd go to San Jose, San Francisco, Phoenix and finish the trip off in Las Vegas. This meant going to see the go-home RAW before WrestleMania, all the festivities in Phoenix and catching the post-'Mania SmackDown too. It was a lot of wrestling in the space of 8 days, but we were confident that we'd have a great time. One of the greatest parts of the trip was WrestleMania Axxess. WWE had really upped their game when it came to memorabilia and artefacts on show to the general public. You can see above the plethora of Shawn Michaels WrestleMania outfits that I took a snap of while I was there. With Bret Hart's return, they had a ton of Hart Family memorabilia from Bulldog gear and Anvil jackets to Owen Hart shirts and even Bret's King of the Ring crown from 1993. Here's 10 fun facts about my trip to WrestleMania XXVI.
