Re: ANOTHER wrestling thread because...
No, no. and no. Another story...
IN 1988 we had a show at the Iowa State Fair. The show was scheduled to start at 7pm. At 6pm we were informed by the Secret Service that Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis made a last minute change in his schedule and was going to speak at the fair at 9pm. Nobody would be allowed into the fairgrounds after 7pm.
Wrestling crowds are always late because they know that the "names" don't wrestle until later on the card. So by 7pm we only had 200-300 out of 10,000+ tickets sold! Vince happened to be there that night and at 8pm said, "Fcuk it. On with the show!" We invited everyone down to ringside and proceeded with the matches. Those 200-300 "early birds" got primo seats that night.
