- After the Undertaker v.Edge Match.. They lit up the fireworks like they always do and when the fireworks were heading from the top of the Citrus Bowl to the WM Set they malfunctioned and landed on the fans...i was right next to one of the guys who got hit and he caught fire!! For those of you who went you might of seen it and people will probably be calling their lawyers!! It was really scary! Tonight's edition of the Live Audio Wrestling radio show was also talking about this incident.
- Here's another report on the situation, courtesy of ProWrestling.NET. They are also claiming that some sort of fireworks accident occurred at the end of the show. EMTs were reportedly called to the scene. One witness account is saying that a fireworks line broke and the spinning fireworks landed on some fans in the upper deck.
- Many wrestling fans were hopeful that Ric Flair's match against Shawn Michaels would be the final match to close out last night's WrestleMania XXIV. It turns out that Flair was offered the main event spot but turned it down.
There was a pitch made by a creative team member to have the final shot of WrestleMania be a spotlight on Flair's boots and robe. However, Flair strongly disagreed with those sentiments when the idea was brought up to him during a press conference held prior to the WWE Hall of Fame convention.
Flair told reporters that nothing is more important than the title belts and insisted that his match with Michaels did not belong in the main event position.
- I was told by one veteran worker that last night was one of the most emotional nights that they have ever witnessed in a WWE locker room with the retirement match of Ric Flair. Flair received a very warm reception from the entire WWE roster when he came back from his match with Michaels. Many superstars embraced Flair and shared tears with him.
- ESPN actually covered the Big Show vs. Floyd Mayweather match at WrestleMania XXIV as if it were a legitimate fight. You can currently view ESPN’s video rundown of the match on the ESPN.com website on the right sidebar where there are featured videos.
- Superstars from all three WWE brands will be featured on tonight's Raw from the Amway Arena in Orlando, Florida. As reported earlier, WWE told all superstars to attend the taping.
- The Rock was not at Mania.
- Despite some speculation, TNA never flew a plane over the Citrus Bowl, although there were no shortage of annoying aircraft hovering above. One advertised a strip club and beared the suitable message, "Wooo!"
