Two wrestling companies are doing great and all it does is break your goddamn brains.
I’d say some of you were acting like children, but children don’t give a f*** about the minutia of publicised attendance numbers, paid attendance, actual attendance, they just actually try to, you know, ENJOY WRESTLING.

We have had a few references but yeah Will Ospreay got a tattoo based on these numbers...hmmm Damn, bro jumped the gun on that one. Idk, it's still paid attendance, it's still correct, that's how many people paid to see the match It'd be worse if the actual paid attendance was fudged, but it wasn't, it just didn't show up in full for showtime, for any amount of reason

Even if the number is wrong, it's still the "kayfabe" number. Just like how Hulk Hogan bodyslammed the 2 ton Andre the Giant in front of 100,000 people brother.

WrestleTix had 83K tickets out as the final count and Khan apparently said post-show that there were around 9-10K comps.

AEW will never ever beat Wrestlemania 32, because for those who don't know, the reason Wrestlemania 32 was attended by that many people, was because on a March 26th 2016 NXT house show, Finn Balor defended the NXT championship against Madcap Moss, all those people were so interested to see that new Moss guy, so they went to Wrestlemania 32 hoping to see him, but he wasn't on it, and that's why Wrestlemania 32 is viewed as one of the worst Wrestlemania's ever

I always expected the number of fans legit in the building to be lower than the paid attendance because that's just how it be with live sports. Sometimes people don't go.

The upside to this is that, I assume, that a number of touts/scalpers bought tickets to resell them and were left with them in the end. Which is always a positive because f*** those guys.

Will Osprey seems like the kind of guy I’d cross the street to avoid, like “oh Christ, this f***ing guy.”

I mean the paid attendance is still correct Will, you'll be fine It would be hilarious if he went through the effort to fix it... but again, it wasn't a lie, his tattoo is still true It happening to Ospreay though? Still hilarious bruv.

Still hilarious bruv. Tickets sold would be more accurate than “paid attendance” but even that seems like it’s not the actual number Khan had said. If we take the WrestleTix report of tickets distributed and subtract out the 9-10K Khan said were comped.

Wait, it just registered with me that this news broke because some weirdo made a Freedom of Information Request for the turnstile numbers.
People take this shit way, way too seriously, good lord.

I mean the moral of the story here is don't get a wrestling attendance number tattoo'd on you when it's always going to be disputed.

The 72,000+ number for All In of those actually in attendance would be shy of Summerslam 1992’s 79,000+ in attendance.

I said none of this felt like it was was done in good faith on page one and was only done to further more discourse, and... if that's the case, there we go lol
