A big story in the Atlantic City area today is that Trump Plaza will be closing, the latest in a number of casinos that will be closing on the AC Boardwalk.

The casino was a sponsor for Wrestlemanias 4 and 5 in 1988 and 1989 when the event was held next door at what is know known as Boardwalk Hall. It began a long relationship between WWE and Donald Trump as well, leading to his WWE Hall of Fame induction in 2013. The partnership with Trump Plaza also opened up the door for a lot of weekend activities in association with Wrestlemania (a 5K run, a Wrestlemania breakfast event, signings, etc.) so that families could come to the events. Those events set WWE on the path to what is now the week-long Wrestlemania AXXESS. WWE's Basil Devito went into a lot of detail about the Trump partnership with Wrestlemania in his 2001 book on Wrestlemania.
