I would never deny that Bulldog was the bigger draw of the two, but there were plenty of Bret Hart fans in that crowd, so part of the draw of that show was Bret.

And when HBK had a similar chance to draw a crowd like that (in his hometown no less) they barely sodl half the seats.

I guarantee you, at Bret Hart's peak he would have sold 70,000 tickets anywhere in Canada, but especially in Calgary.
