TorontO: City of Champions

Now for all of you haters out there, you don't have to remind me or anyone else in Toronto about the last time our great city won a major sports championship...I'm sorry football fans, but the Argos just don't count. It's been nearly 40 years since our beloved Maple Leafs last won the Stanley Cup and while our odds have greatly improved for the Blue Jays this coming season, it's been 13 years since we were last World Series champs.

In the year 2006 however, the world of professional wrestling has been kind to us. Or maybe I should say we Torontonians have finally received our just due! In the short month and a half that 2006 has been here, we have seen Toronto's Edge finally become WWE Champion (that stinkin' Cena may have won back the title but Edge will get his revenge soon!) and our newly crowned NWA Heavyweight Champion is none other than Toronto-native, Christian Cage!

Now it's not like we didn't know that Canadian wrestlers rule already, but Toronto wrestlers in particular are finally "showing and proving". So while the rest of Canada hates on our Maple Leafs during hockey season (can't say I blame them actually, it's not like they have any teams in the NBA or Major League Baseball...ha!), they can now also hate the fact that Toronto rules the wrestling world!

Who are the hottest and most popular female superstars in TNA Wrestling right now? And no, I don't mean that no-ability-to-act-or-wrestle chick with the super annoying crease in her stomach, Jackie Gayda. I'm talking about Traci Brooks, who in case you didn't know, is from the T-dot and Gail Kim, from...you guessed it, Toronto!

And "O", did I forget to mention that the reigning WWE Women's Champion...the same woman who has had the title for over a year or something...the same woman who seems to most often win "Babe of the Year" awards and covers of WWE Divas magazines...Trish Stratus...is um, from...TorontOOOO!!?!?

Just thought I'd remind ya!
