Wrestling's biggest show could be headed for Orlando, Fl., in 2017, according to a report in the Orlando Sentinel.
Florida is -- and has always been -- a hotbed for pro wrestling. In fact, the 2016 Royal Rumble will be contested in Orlando on Jan. 24. What better time to announce next year's host city?
Via the Sentinel:
The Citrus Bowl played host to WrestleMania in 2008. That event drew a Stadium-record crowd of 74,635.
