WWE touted that over 100,000 fans came out to see Rey Mysterio as he took part in Mexico City's Children's Day parade. I am sure the fans were happy to see Rey, but to give him credit for drawing the entire crowd is like claiming the WWE float brought millions of viewers to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade - you can hype it, but that doesn't mean it's technically correct.

Monday, noon - LUCKY 11-year-old Nathan Ginnelly, from Barrowby, got to meet one of his heroes last month.
The St Mary's Primary School pupil met WWE wrestler Matt Hardy after winning a competition run by Woolworths to attend the WWE show at Sheffield Arena.
Dad Frank said: "He was uncontrollable with excitement because he's absolutely mad on wrestling.
"We had a great time and were really impressed with the show."
