WrestleMania, here they come. Nolan Johnston and Bill Noto could be going to the "Super Bowl" of wrestling events, held in Orlando in March, after World Wrestling Entertainment officials said Tuesday they'd send tickets to the pair. The two longtime friends - and huge wrestling fans - were profiled in the Pasco Times on Monday. Noto has been taking care of Johnston, who has an advanced stage of lung cancer. Gulfside Regional Hospice had been trying to fulfill Johnston's wish for tickets to WrestleMania. WWE officials read the story and contacted the newspaper to see where they could send two tickets. "That's awesome!" said Noto, who couldn't wait to tell Johnston. "He's going to flip," he said.
