WWE's 'Super Bowl' is on the horizon as WrestleMania 33 goes down this Sunday in Orlando.
The 'Showcase of Immortals' is one fans from all over the world attend and watch because it's that big and that much of a spectacle.
Even causal fans feel the need to tune in because you never know what to expect or who's going to show up.
At WrestleMania 31, for example, Ronda Rousey showed up and made her presence felt.
At WrestleMania 32, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Micky Foley surprised the crowd with their involvement in the show, proving once again that anything can happen and anyone can show up.
When it comes to surprise appearances, the names getting the most attention are Conor McGregor, Shaq, Kurt Angle, and the Hardy Boys.
Like any other sport, prop bets can be made for the show, and this prop bet list from 'Sports Betting Experts' has one other names fans apparently need to keep an eye on, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid:
Will Connor McDavid Participate in a Wrestlemania 33 match?
Yes: +7500
No: -15000
We don't know about you, but we're going to put a little money on McDavid participating, just in case.
There is nothing, and we mean nothing to suggest McDavid will be at the event let alone participate, but clearly they know something we don't know.
We did do some research, though, and it turns out the Oilers don't play on Sunday or Monday, and they're in Los Angeles Tuesday, so he could be there if he wanted to.
Also, if McDavid did get involved in a match, he'd have more fights in WWE than in the NHL.
Here's how we would book McDavid at WrestleMania 33, he interrupts Stone Cold, takes a stunner, but before Austin can hit him with another one, this music hits:
That's Auston Matthews' music. That's Auston Matthews' music.
Auston saves the day and the two celebrate with some water. Everyone would pay to watch that.
In all seriousness, the prop bet is outrageous (Note: Last time WrestleMania was in Orlando, Floyd Mayweather fought Big Show), so here are some less ridiculous ones:
Will Kenny Omega make an in-ring appearance at Wrestlemania 33?
Yes: +4500
No: -7500
Will Kazuchika Okada make an in-ring appearance at Wrestlemania 33?
Yes: +7500
No: -15000
Will a referee be knocked down (‘ref bump’) in any Wrestlemania 33 match?
Yes: -150
No: +130
Will a championship belt of any variety be used as a weapon a Wrestlemania 33 match?
Yes: +130
No: -150
Will a ringside chair of any variety be used as a weapon a Wrestlemania 33 match?
Yes: +150
No: -175
Will any wrestler bleed from the forehead either intentionally (‘blading’) or accidentally (‘hardway’)in a Wrestlemania 33 match?
Yes: +150
No: -175
Will any Wrestlemania 33 match end in a disqualification?
Yes: -150
No: +130
Will any Wrestlemania 33 match end in a double count out?
Yes: +500
