Vince McMahon thanks the fans

On Sunday night at Madison Square Garden, Vince McMahon thanked the fans for making WrestleMania the phenomenon it is today. Below is the complete transcript of what Mr. McMahon had to say.

The theme of this year's WrestleMania is where it all begins again. But, quite frankly, without each and every one of you, WrestleMania may very well have never began. I've come before you tonight to simply say thank you.

On behalf of the WWE Superstar both past and present we thank you.

On behalf of the entire WWE organization, we say thank you.

On behalf of the McMahon family, thank you.

Thank you for making WrestleMania what it has become today. Thank you for making the WWE what it is. And thank you for making this WrestleMania where it all begins again.

Thank you very much!

JAMIE NOBLE: found out rather quickly, that wrestling Nidia blindfolded was not the easiest thing to do.
The hood not only left him disoriented and struggling to breathe, it also left him open to Nidia's shenanigans. Midway through their match at NO WAY OUT 2004 , Nidia decided to have some fun at Noble's expense and pulled his pants down from behind...but, Noble was saved on having an embarrassing moment....he was wearing boxers.

Tickets went on sale Friday morning for the TOUR OF DEFIANCE on Wednesday, May 26 at the Point Theatre in Dublin, Ireland ... and sold out in six minutes! A second show, on May 27, was added, and tickets were made available at 4 p.m.; those sold out in just over two hours.
