Wow. They normally do around the 13,000 mark. So that's pretty big. Only the latter part of Triplemania ran parallel to Summerslam though. Still, WWE is losing their prized Latino market BIG TIME right now.

Who got the bigger buy-rate, though?
That's a good question since both shows were international. But WWE's regular PPV's were still around the $40+, so they probably got far more on that alone. Still, the fact that AAA did such significant numbers is quite a big deal.

Outgrossed? Doesn't that mean they made more money? I'm only seeing that they outdrew them which in itself is a skewed statistic. If Summerslam was at a bigger venue they would have sold more tickets.

Vampiro and Hugo Savinovich are the U.S. Broadcast team. It happened a few years ago I think.

It helps that Triplemania XXII was actually held at an ICE detention center in Laredo.
Whats important is how many fans were in attendance.
It was in LA, so I gather that there were plenty of fans crammed into work vans & pickup trucks watching the show from the parking lot. Sure they didnt buy tickets, but they paid for parking & made a killing from selling knockoff Cena shirts and grilled corn.
All around it was a good day.

Smartass.
Liberty Prime would be disappointed by your blurring of Canadian and American nationality. And then he would atomize you with a plasma cannon.

Taya Valkyrie's hotness messed with my mind. I couldn't focus.

Good for them, WWE could use some decent competition. I hope Alberto and Rey help them become even more successful.

Lol at you thinking AAA is ever going to be competition.

Worth a shot, glad to hear of another company's success either way. Aren't you? If you believe in supporting the industry then surely you must be glad of another wrestling company's success.
They had more people at their biggest show than WWE did at their second biggest and have capitalized greatly on WWEs recent "racist" issues turning the Latin market, WWEs second biggest, against them. That's not competition?
Yeah, he's headlining the next TV event in an ultra-rare 1 on 1 match.

That's really cool. Good for them. Legit question- when was the last time another wrestling company outgrossed the WWE at a PPV? WCW days?

In Mexico, sure, worldwide, not a fucking chance in hell. They don't have the reach or cash to be any kind of real competition to the juggernaut.
I'd love to see some real competition to the WWE to drive the product back to something special, but unless another Ted Turner comes along and decides to start throwing copious amounts of cash at a wrestling promotion, it's not going to happen.

I believe in supporting the industry, but I don't have delusions of grandeur.
You know how people can really support the industry? Support the indy promotions around your way. They are the building blocks of the wrestling industry.

"NO GODDAMNIT! YOU SUPPORT THE INDUSTRY BY BUYING THE WWE NETWORK! YOU CHEAP BASTARDS ARE COSTING ME MILLIONS! FUCK YOU!"
The WWE used all the building blocks to make the performance center. It will now be the factory in which future stars are created. Even with local support, the majority of independent promotions are in a bit of trouble. Fewer guys have the hopes to be called up\signed than in years past & most of those companies dont have the funds to increase production or the creative mojo needed to stand out. ROH, AAA & NJPW are the exceptions. They have some money to push forward, good production & a talented roster.
The WWE machine has stretched the gap between themselves & anyone considered competition so far that it will likely implode before anyone really catches up to them. We probably will never see anything like the Monday Night Wars again. I agree that we all should take in a local show once in a while, but for the most part they are crap. Many of them are just downright terrible to watch.
I am all for supporting the smaller promotions, but to a point. Many of the independent local promoters are just going to piss your money away buying themselves a new car or some blow before they actually put that money into the promotion. At least with the above 3 mentioned, you know you are gonna get a good show for your money.
