John Handiboe, Hey John, What's Going On?
It's art with attitude.
WrestlemaniArt debuted at the City Arts Factory in downtown Orlando Wednesday night. It was the kickoff party for WrestleMania Week leading to WrestleMania XXIV Live at the Citrus Bowl Sunday night.
"Oh, it's nice," said Robbie McAllister, of the tag team The Highlanders.
"It's too hot," said Rory McAllister, the other half of the tag team.
"You are always saying it's too hot," Robbie said to Rory.
"It is too hot," Rory said.
"You said Tampa was too hot," Robbie replied.
"They're made of wool," Rory said about his Scottish kilt.
WrestleManiArt was the the first stop for the tag team duo during WrestleMania Week.
"I am so impressed with our Superstars, like Jerry 'The King' Lawler. He just has phenomenal artwork out there, and Edge and Chuck Palumbo and Shannon Moore and some of the others who have brought their art work," said Linda McMahon, the World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive officer.
That's right. The walls of the City Arts Factory were filled with artwork created by WWE Superstars. The most impressive was the collection on display from Jerry "The King" Lawler.
"That's the main thing that I get. People coming up to me and say, 'Wow. I didn't know you had this type of artistic ability,'" Lawler told Central Florida on Demand's Jonh Handiboe.
The wrestlers were showcasing their ability to help community programs in Central Florida.
"One of the great things about doing what we do is that you do get to give back," Rory said.
They also payed tribute. Friday Night SmackDown general manager Vickie Guerrero, along with her daughters, created a photo collection honoring her late husband and former WWE Superstar, Eddie Guerrero.
"I put different aspects of his career and everyone in the collage had an impact on my husband's life. I think our favorite picture is when Eddie excepted the championship belt," Vickie said.
Not only did the superstars show off their art, they are also going to play tourist at Universal Orlando Resort.
"The roller coaster is called The Hulk," Handiboe told The Highlanders.
"I'll go on that, he won't," Robbie said.
"No, I don't wear underwear underneath this thing, so I won't," Rory confirmed.
"He doesn't like roller coasters either. He gets a wee bit scared," Robbie teased.
All of the proceeds raised at WrestleManiArt will support community programs sponsored by the Central Florida Sports Commission and the United Arts of Central Florida.
News 13's John Handiboe also has exclusive interviews with the WWE Superstars on Central Florida On Demand, Digital Cable Channel 300.
