Steve Austin leads Debra and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley in singing the American National Anthem.
TORONTO -- After months of speculation, it's official.
WrestleMania XVIII will be in Toronto at the SkyDome on Sunday, March 17, 2002.
Monday afternoon the official announcement was made at Toronto City Hall by WWF honcho Vince McMahon and a host of WWF Superstars. Also on hand was Toronto mayor Mel Lastman, Ontario premier Mike Harris and even Toronto Raptor Jerome 'Junkyard Dog' Williams.
Thousands of rabid WWF fans showed up to celebrate the announcement, some as early as 4:30 a.m.
"I'm proud to be in Canada and Toronto on this historic day," said WWF VP of Talent Relations and announcer Jim Ross, who acted as host for the press conference.
Tickets for the show go on sale Saturday, November 3, 2001. Ticket prices were not released, though ringsides are expected to be at least $600 Canadian.
The WWF said that the Fan Axxess convention-style celebration of all things WWF will take place March 14 - March 16 at a location to be named later. Speculation is that the Fan Axxess will be held somewhere on Toronto's Exhibition grounds, as many of the better known facilities like the Metro Convention Centre are already booked.
