On Jan. 20, WWE announced that WrestleMania 32 will take place in Arlington, Texas at AT&T Stadium, the home of NFL team Dallas Cowboys. The stadium, also known as “Jerry’s World” because of Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, may very well set an attendance record for WWE, as the structure has held more than 100,000 people in the past.
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross took to his blog on JRsBarBq.com to discuss WrestleMania returning to Texas. Ross wrote about the historical significance to be had having WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium, hitting on his own past experiences. Additionally, Ross believes WWE should try to have two of its all-time greats lace up the boots at WrestleMania 32: The Undertaker and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
Ross wrote:
“Enjoyed spending some quality time this past weekend with Steve Austin in Los Angeles. He is looking great and would be a perfect fit, in my opinion, to return to the ring in Dallas next year for WM32. Perhaps I should say in Arlington, Texas as the Dallas Cowboys actually play their games in Arlington. I could see WWE adding a major Undertaker match to this potential record breaker of an event that is if Taker would be physicality good to go in 2016. As I outlined on one of my Ross Reports several months ago this booking is huge for WWE and AT&T Stadium could easily fit 100,000+ for WM32 if the card is what the fans want to see which is always any promoter’s goal. I love this building and saw the first ever college football game ever played there plus the Packers vs. Steelers Super Bowl game there. It’s a palace.”

Editor’s Note
WWE needs to do everything in its power to have Austin wrestle one last time at WrestleMania 32. Fans could potentially see two of the greatest WWE wrestlers of all-time, Taker and Austin, have retirement matches on the same night.
