You Can Take A Swing At My Wrestlemania XXXI LD

Oh and in case you were wondering: Meltzer is already declaring the attendance to be fake. He made that determination the second it was announced. Ignore the fact that it's likely the paid attendance, which is all WWE really cares about anyway. Every major sport records attendance that way.

It's like 4 in the morning, I'm too tired to parse through this statement. Could you elaborate?

Dave Meltzer has a long running obsession with the attendance numbers WWE puts out, basically swearing they lie every time with little to no proof other than his word.

What WWE, along with every major American sport, does is count the number of tickets sold. Basically if five tickets are sold but only four people show up, they'll say the attendance was five. Meltzer says this means they're lying, which to a degree they are, but it's a very, very common practice.

Did he give a number or just say they lied to us?

Ah, cheers.

He this obssessive with the Japanese attendance numbers? I recall something about them more blatantly papering tickets and lying about attendances.
 
For as shitty as the build up to this match was, this still has a BIG FIGHT feel to it.

Rooting for Reigns 100%!!!
