The big kids are ruling the playground ... at least, so far.  In the 2009's Sweet 16 field, only #5 Purdue and #12 Arizona have managed to punch back, leaving a pair of chalk lines around four seeds Wake Forest and Washington.

It prompted this email from loyal SportsPeople contributor Mario Mizoni:

"March Madness is more entertaining when the favorites rule the brackets.  Which is better to watch, #1 Louisville vs. #12 Arizona, or #3 Syracuse vs. #2 Oklahoma?  It reminds me of another great bracket echoing through the mausoleum of sports history:  Wrestlemania III.

You remember, a single-elimination tournament to decide the champion?  Of course you do.  No one wants to see the King Harley Race vs. the Junkyard Dog as the top billing.  We tuned in to see Hogan tackle Andre the Giant!"

 We don't typically talk WWE on this website, but we'll indulge Mario this one time.  Here, for your pleasure, are some highlights from Hulkamania sweeping through the Pontiac Silverdome, March 29, 1987.
