10 Biggest Things Happening WrestleMania 32 Weekend (That Aren't WrestleMania)
10. WrestleMania Axxess (Multiple Shows)
Though the name may be a holdover from the misspelling-heavy days of the Attitude Era, there's no better place to take in the entire history of WWE than at Axxess. Each year, the company runs several sessions of what basically amounts to a WWE convention (typically held Thursday through Sunday) where fans can view memorabilia, meet superstars and legends, and of course, buy merchandise. Even though - like most conventions - a ticket essentially buys you the ability to spend more money, it's still worth checking out. Even the most jaded fan can't help but smile a little when standing in an Elimination Chamber or climbing a ladder to reach for a Money in the Bank briefcase. And while some of the activities - like reenacting superstar entrances or jumping in foam pits - skew decidedly young, others (like superstar imitation contents and a history of WrestleMania "museum" of sorts) are fun for everyone. Best of all, there's a ring set up where live matches - typically featuring NXT talent - are continuously held.
