This is one of the biggest wrestling weekends of the year, and all focus is on the events this weekend in Houston.
WWE is presenting WrestleMania XXV and the Hall of Fame this weekend, while ROH is presenting two live events in Houston, including the 2009 edition of the Take No Prisoners PPV this Saturday.
Are you heading to Houston for any of the events? Are you watching the broadcasts? Share your plans for this weekend right here.
This is your catch-all WrestleMania/ROH weekend discussion thread for everyone to post in as the events unfold this weekend.

I'll be watching both PPVs on TV. Of course, it'll be a while for Take No Prisoners.

I'm just about to head out to catch my flight out to Houston for the two ROH shows. Passing on Wrestlemania, costs way to much to sit 2 miles back and watch two specks run into each other.
If anyone else is coming out to the ROH shows, I'll be the goof in the El Generico shirt with a Florida state flag. Come by and say hi.

I'm only hitting up WM this year with my ex-GF, now good friend, and her mom. Skipping ROH this year so I can spend time with them.

I have no plans to see either the ROH shows or WrestleMania, although Shawn vs. Taker is actually giving me some reason to consider seeing this year's.

I'm very much anti-WWE. My favorite big event of the year is Wrestle Kingdom and Dragon Gate World.

And mostly everyone on the ROH forum are losing their minds because Jerry is the new champion. It's actually pretty funny.

Dave, will the title be on the line in the four-way?

It's funny (to me), I always dreamed about going to WM growing up, but now I honestly couldn't care less. I've said it before, and I'll say it again - a Shimmer event is MY "WrestleMania".

Agreed. I went to WrestleMania 23 but I look forward to the SHIMMER weekends far more and I have a much better time.
