Miami won the bid to host WrestleMania in 2012 over Indianapolis, New York, Toronto, New Orleans and Los Angeles.
Miami tried to get WrestleMania 27 but Atlanta won the bid. WWE officials reportedly chose Miami for 2012 because of its "international ties, facilities, airports and experience hosting hundreds of other mega events."

Shoulder Shocker: Triple H Approved
T-Nation.com has an article about Triple H working on his shoulders after his injury:
Paul is in trouble. His body was already banged up from years in the ring, and now this: an injury while filming a movie. The doctor said what Paul already knew: he was going to have to go under the knife.
Was his career over? Was his comeback doomed?
After the surgery, Paul got in contact with T NATION contributor, Joe DeFranco. Joe knows how to train high-performance, high-impact athletes. And his method of shoulder training would not only make Paul's shoulders look massive; it would make them feel great again. Big, strong shouldersmust be healthy if they're going to stay that way.
This article may challenge the way you think about shoulder training. That's okay. If Joe's methods work for Paul, a.k.a. Triple H, they'll probably work for you.
I've been using these guidelines with WWE wrestler Triple H. He trained like a bodybuilder for years with lots of overhead pressing, and it caught up with him. Today, he can't believe how much better his shoulders are feeling and how much faster his rehab from surgery is going.
During our last training session he told me that his shoulders are just as good as they were when he was hammering away at them, only now they're pain-free. He's been using the Shoulder Shocker for the last four months.
