Atlanta is seeking to host WrestleMania XXVII in 2011, which could bring 100,000 fans to the Georgia Dome for the wrestling match and its week of activities. Atlanta is going toe-to-toe with Miami to try to pin down the event, which will be held either the last week of March or the first week of April 2011.
Atlanta officials should know by the end of September or early October which city has been selected.

We've Got Two Words For You . . . S*ck It! - What Inspired It?
"It was about 100 years ago, and Triple H, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and myself were in Europe. Sean started doing that gesture, and then we started saying that phrase to each other. It slowly evolved from there. We were all from that generation where if you beat something over the head long enough, it becomes funny. It started with him doing the gesture to us saying, 's**k It' and then, before you knew it someone was saying 'I got two words for you.' It grew from an inside joke. I am surprised everyday that people still enjoy it. Hunter and I are always waiting for that other shoe to drop, to see people grow tired of it. But now it's like the KISS farewell tour. It's happened 500 times and there's always that one last tour. If not for those two words, I think we would have found something that was equally as offensive. I don't think anything or anyone here became popular because of just one thing certainly not just a catchphrase. If there's a career that's built around just one catchphrase, then that career is not going to last very lone. - Shawn Michaels
