Dreaming of seeing Batista vs. the Undertaker battle it out live at WrestleMania 23?

A trip for two to Detroit for the April 1 extravaganza could be yours if you win the “Four Star Furlough Sweepstakes” sponsored by the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and World Wrestling Entertainment.

You can register for the sweepstakes by going to www.aafes.com and clicking on the “Four Star Furlough Sweepstakes” icon. Act quickly: You must register online by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, March 12. No purchase is necessary to enter.

The winner will be chosen randomly March 15 and will receive round-trip airfare for two to Detroit, four nights at a four-star hotel, two tickets to WrestleMania 23 and $500 in spending money — a total value of about $3,000, according to AAFES officials.

This is the much-hyped event in which the losing billionaire will have his head shaved. Two wrestlers representing Donald Trump and WWE chairman Vince McMahon will fight for the razor. The winning billionaire will get to shave the loser’s hair, according to the WWE Web site.

“With WrestleMania 23 already sold out, this is the only way to get a headlock on the hottest wrestling ticket of the year,” said AAFES’ Chief Marketing Officer Richard Sheff, in a statement announcing the sweepstakes. A quick call to the ticket line found that indeed, this might be your only shot at getting two seats together for the event.

The sweepstakes is open to any authorized exchange shopper who, at the time of entry, is at least 13 years old, lives in the U.S., including Puerto Rico, or, if stationed or deployed outside the U.S., will be either reassigned or on leave in the U.S. or Puerto Rico by April 1, said AAFES spokesman Judd Anstey.
