List of professional wrestling attendance records

List of the largest attendances in the history of professional wrestling From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of professional wrestling attendance records. The highest number of events on the list have been promoted by New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), the largest professional wrestling promotion in Japan.

The May Day Stadium hosted Collision in Korea, a two-day supercard co-promoted by NJPW and WCW, from April 28–29, 1995. The second night, with a crowd of at least 165,000, is the highest attended wrestling event of all-time.

NJPW's Collision in Korea, a two-day interpromotional supercard co-hosted with World Championship Wrestling, was the first-ever pro wrestling event held in North Korea and remains the most attended live event of all-time. The event reportedly had a combined crowd of 320,000, with 150,000 and 190,000 attending the first and second nights respectively.[1] Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter stated actual attendances were about 150,000 and 165,000.[2][3] Regardless, the second night of Collision in Korea remains the most attended overall live event of all-time. It is generally accepted that many attendees at Collision in Korea attended for free.[2]

Events and attendances

Many professional wrestling events are marketed with an inflated attendance figure "for entertainment purposes".[4] Some events below are excluded as their attendances cannot be credibly confirmed – for example, India and Pakistan allegedly hosted numerous wrestling shows pre-1970 which had attendances of over 40,000,[5][6] peaking in 1945 with the Emile Czaja vs. Hamida Pahalwan event at 200,000;[7] the existence of these events, however, have not been verified. Likewise, newspaper reports of well-documented wrestling events from the Pioneer Era would occasionally make broad attendance estimates, such as the supposed 100,000 who witnessed The Great Gama vs. Stanislaus Zbyszko at White City Stadium on 10 September, 1910.[8][9][10]

Note: Minimum attendance of 40,000.
