The people of WrestleMania Axxess: 5 of our favorite costumes, moments and WWE fans in Dallas

Who goes to a professional wrestling fan convention? You might be surprised. Last night, thousands poured into the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center for the first night of WrestleMania Axxess, a four-day fan event leading up to WrestleMania 32 at AT&T Stadium on Sunday.
