When the WWE compares WrestleMania to the Super Bowl, it isn't kidding. Sunday's WrestleMania XXVI in the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. drew more than 72,000 fans, which is about a thousand more than Super Bowl XLII in the same building back in 2008, according to the Arizona Republic. The night included matchups with some wrestling stars of yore, such as 52-year-old Bret Hart, who defeated 65-year-old Vince McMahon, current chairman and CEO of professional wrestling promotion World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), not to mention its largest shareholder. Hart not only defeated his boss -- he hit him with a chair. (See video below.) Another highlight came when another wrestling staple, The Undertaker (who is a comparatively mere 45 years old), trounced 44-year-old Shawn Michaels, who vowed to retire if he lost.
