Just as a reference to the ability to draw money, Superstar Billy Graham was headliner at 20 shows in Madison Square Garden in the 70's and sold out 19 of them.  i think he was 10 for 10 as WWWF Champ.  A 95% sell-out ratio is great no matter how you compare it to other eras, television exposure, pay-per-views etc.  Guys like Sammartino, Backlund and Hogan headlined MSG many more times than Graham during the 60's to the start of the pay-per-view era, but nobody had a sell-out percentage that high.
