WWWF were running Shea Stadium since the 60s lol

Arthur Ashe don't count? Thy sold itout once....not this year

Yeah first year was 20k I think

 

[Canadian Dragon]

smaller setup to start this year too

 

[Bobby Barrows]

20k people isn't bad for a wrestling show tho

 

[Canadian Dragon]

also missing a considerable part of the roster

 

[Bobby Barrows]

In fact 20k attendance is great for a non-WWE show.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

20k people isn't bad for a wrestling show tho

i think in fact its fucking outstanding by any metric and historically i dont believe has been done by anyone except wwe and wcw

 

[Canadian Dragon]

unless the roh njpw did more but i doubt it

 

[Chris]

14k for athur Ashe this year for a much weaker card, not sure why that seems to be a TV tradition too. I don't really care but feels like it'd be great for a PPV

In modern times, yeah. WCCW, AWA, Memphis, and other companies sold that out consistently tbf

Nah it was over 10k but def not 20 from what I remembered. Did that famous million dollar gate but still barely made a profit bc MSG is expensive as hell lmao

its close to another ppv but ya, i feel a saturday card would do better. also splitting up the card in two days hurts dynamite

And a shit hole

 

[Storm Trooper]

WWE didnt sellout 80k stadiums year 3

Year 3 of Vince McMahon was still a regional business. AEW is a national company from jump. All Out 2022 should have been in Soldier Field in Chicago they would have had 45000 at least.

Rampage being two hours at that time slot is rough regardless of what's booked too lol
