ORLANDO, Fla. -- At least 40 people were hurt when fireworks and cables landed on the crowd packed in the Citrus Bowl for Wrestlemania on Sunday night, according to the Orlando Fire Department.

During the last fireworks event of the show, eyewitnesses said, fireworks plunged into the crowd and exploded. At least three people were taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center with burns.

Firefighters with the Orlando Fire Department said the fans who were taken to ORMC weren't seriously hurt, but some of the victims said for them the WWE's reputation is now in bad shape.

Tens of thousands of wrestling fans flocked to Wrestlemania for the experience of a lifetime, but at least 35 fans left with ice packs on their necks and three left in an ambulance.

"It felt like a whip. I have a welt on my neck," said victim Barbara Vetere. "Like a baseball bat hit me. It was horrible. Horrible."

A pyrotechnics malfunction sent fireworks and hot cables flying into crowded stands during the final wrestling match.

"You can see the marks on a few people where hot wires crossed and fireworks touched them," said Asst. Chief Greg Hoggatt, of the Orlando Fire Department.

Firefighters said they acted quickly, but fans told a different story.

"We had to sit up in the bleachers and wait for a paramedic to come. They didn't really examine us. And we had to walk all the way down to first aid and had to ask for a bag of ice just to put on our head," Vetere added.

Channel 9 placed a call to the WWE to ask them how the accident could happen. The call was not immediately returned.

Theres actually a video of it here http://www.wesh.com/video/15751123/index.html

Kinda strange to see that going on with takers music playing in the background, woulda been even freakier with kanes music playing with the whole fire and burning gimmick.

18 was the last one done in canuckada, and considering the card it had its not suprising it was good.

but anyways, this would of been so fitting if Kane was being introduced (lawl old gimmick), but Undertaker is probably the 2nd best in terms of irony.

from what i've read, the Ric Flair match was the saddest moment ever.

how was that big show mayweather fight?

wrestlemania where it was ultimate warrior vs hulk hogan will never be beaten!

The mayweather thing was amusing, at one point after dodging show he goes to he corner and one of his lackies hands him a chalice and he starts drinking out of it. The guy gets knocked flying of the side of the ring, show was actually standing on top of mayweather at one point and he was crying like a little girl, like seriously sounding like a little girl.

His manager or whatever was outside making great use of the english language screaming "he cand do dat"

. Ending was cheesy though, consisted of show setting him for the choke slam, one of his lackies running in and hitting show with a chair, he got chokeslammed then mayweather laid in with 3 or 4 chair shots to the head then a knuckle duster punch to the jaw ending it.
