📰 CMLL News & Rumors (June 24–July 1)
- “An underplayed story is that if tonight is announced as a sellout, the company will have, in less than six months, broken the record set last year for most sellouts in company-owned arenas for an entire year (I believe 64). Here’s a crazy story: they would have broken last year’s record on Saturday night at Arena Coliseo, but they were roughly six tickets shy and did not announce a sellout. They have actually broken it because a few, if not many, Guadalajara sellouts in the last few weeks or months have not been announced.” Credit: f4wonline
