AAA Invading NY was intended to be the second professional wrestling event held at Madison Square Garden (the first being G1 Supercard) by a professional wrestling promotion not owned by the McMahon family since November 14, 1960.[1] It was later reported by Wrestling Observer Newsletter journalist Dave Meltzer that AAA initial ticket sales for the event were 2,000 tickets.[2] On August 16, it was announced that the event would be held in the much smaller Hulu Theater inside of Madison Square Garden.[3] Later it was reported by Pro Wrestling Insider that AAA's decision of running Hulu Theater was made two weeks before the announcement after meeting with MSG executives to move the venue due to its poor ticket sales.[4]
