You Don't Have To Like The Booking, But AEW All In Is MASSIVE
AEW's Wembley supercard masses major milestone en route to the 'Biggest Show Ever.'
AEW's All In pay-per-view has taken one step closer to living up to its billing as the 'Biggest Event In Wrestling History', with the volume of tickets distributed for the 27 August event now surpassing WrestleMania 32's total attendance.
Per WrestleTix's latest All In update, 81,405 tickets have now been distributed for the show. This means that 4,067 of the 85,472 made available remain ahead of Wembley Stadium.
Should all 81,405 ticketholders attend, All In will legitimately go down as the best-attended wrestling event in history. WrestleMania 32 had long been held up as the final hurdle for All In to vault. WWE, with its long history of inflating attendance numbers, claims 101,763 for the 3 April 2016 event, though the Arlington Police Department claims 80,709 people passed through the turnstiles that evening.
Vince McMahon has himself conceded that "ushers and ticket takers and all of that" were included in the inflated number.
It's unlikely that we will know if All In truly was the 'Biggest Event In Wrestling History' until after the actual attendance figure has come out following the show. Nonetheless, it remains on course.
NJPW and WCW's two Collision in Korea shows of April 1995 are typically excluded from these rankings. Held in Pyongyang, North Korea, no tickets were sold for these shows, with the 355,000 attendees reportedly forced to attend by the country's regime.
