Earlier today on PWInsiderElite.com, we noted that there was a hope within MLW that their 5/11 Chicago event would set a record for the promotion.
This afternoon, MLW announced that was indeed the case:
MLW’s return to Chicago sells out, Breaks all-time box office recordWatch MLW AZTECA LUCHA on TrillerTV+ live May 11 |
Chicago, IL - April 29, 2024 - Major League Wrestling (MLW) is proud to announce that after a five-year hiatus, the highly anticipated return to Chicago's Cicero Stadium on May 11th has officially sold out, smashing the league’s all-time box office gate records. This monumental achievement continues MLW's streak of sellout events, with every show in 2024 selling out, further solidifying MLW’s status as a premier destination for wrestling fans worldwide. MLW AZTECA Lucha, which will stream live and exclusively worldwide on TrillerTV+ on Saturday, May 11th, sold out a full two weeks ahead of taking place, underscoring the anticipation and excitement surrounding MLW's return to the Windy City. While all available tickets are gone, fans are encouraged to stay tuned, as additional seats may become available on the day of the show, pending production logistics. MLW CEO Court Bauer expressed his gratitude to Chicago fans and the company as a whole, stating, "Thank you, Chicago. To sell out the biggest arena we run is a huge triumph. This is a big milestone as MLW's best year of business to date in the history of the league. From our Boss Fight Studios action figures selling out to arenas selling out, this is an unprecedented era for MLW. None of this happens without the fans' support, the wrestlers' work in and away from the ring, and the grind of our production team and front office. We're all pumped to now bring it on May 11. Chicago and fans watching on TrillerTV+ are in for a very special night." As excitement continues to build for the event, more matches are set to be announced for Chicago. In addition to the AZTECA Lucha TrillerTV+ premium live event that night, MLW will also film a beIN SPORTS broadcast, which will air on a separate date. |
