(Part 1)
Well, all the reports spoke of how special the atmosphere was at the Arena Mexico the first time the Blackpool Combat Club came to the 'Homenaje a Dos Leyendas' (Tribute/Homage to Two Legends) event. It was even listed as the event of the year here in Mexico. The atmosphere at the Arena México is always intense, but that day it was even more so. This even attracted new audiences to the Arena México and CMLL. From there the CMLL-AEW alliance was consolidated and AEW began to send more of its talents regularly. The comments on social media were always positive throughout the year regarding CMLL shows and AEW visitors. This meant that as soon as the Grand Slam Mexico event was announced, tickets sold out in just a few hours. This was important because, as you know, the economy is different and the value of the mexican peso against the US dollar is quite high, so you could say those tickets were truly a luxury for this third-world country. Of course, the hoarders who make a living from reselling tickets also played a role; but, in any case, the public's response was extremely impressive.

Then the day came. If the atmosphere at the 'Homenaje a Dos Leyendas' was impressive, the atmosphere during all the week of Grand Slam Mexico It was even more powerful and stronger. That week was ROH vs CMLL on tuesday, Grand Slam Mexico on wednesday, and Fantasticamania on friday (with talent from CMLL, AEW, NJPW, RevPro, and MLW). The atmosphere during the Grand Slam Mexico was sublime, almost religious (especially during Mistico's entrance). Everyone describes the same thing, even people around the world who only watched the event via video/streaming. Everyone's comments were only of happiness and that something really big was happening here.
