Madison Square Garden, long considered WWE's home arena, holds a number of pro wrestling attendance records.

The following is a list of the largest attendances in the history of the American professional wrestling promotion WWE.

The list is dominated by WWE's flagship

Global Warning Tour: Melbourne being the only house show events on the list (although both events are listed on WWE Network as pay-per-view events on their pay-per-view list). All but eleven of the events included have been held in the United States where WWE is based, while three have been held in Canada, three in Japan, three in Saudi Arabia, two in Australia, and one in the United Kingdom
.

Events and attendances

Many professional wrestling shows are marketed with an inflated attendance record "for entertainment purposes".[1] The table below gives, where possible, both actual numbers and claimed figures by the respective company.

Note: Minimum attendance of 40,000.

The attendance as would be normally announced for an event was 93,730 people, breaking the WWE's all-time total attendance (paid plus comps) record of 79,127 set at the 1992 SummerSlam show at Wembley Stadium, which barely beat out the 1987 WrestleMania III show which did more than 78,000. The actual number in the building was 97,769. ... the company had pushed the idea from the start of drawing 100,000 people (pretty much insuring [sic

The WWE announced the number at 101,763, which is the mythical number "for entertainment purposes" as Vince McMahon told me about the difference between real numbers and announced numbers years ago.

    . August 24, 1963. Before a capacity crowd of 19,712 fans, including standees, Bruno Sammartino, 262 pounds, of Italy pinned Killer Kowalski, 258, of Detroit last night at 20 minutes 15 seconds of the featured wrestling exhibition at Madison Square Garden.
  48. Standard-Speaker. November 20, 1963. Add to the list of names that intrigue: GORILLA MONSOON. Gorilla, who allegedly weighs 357 pounds, is the latest sensation on the pro mat circuit. A card at Madison Square Garden this week featuring Monsoon and BRUNO SAMMARTINO drew 19,706 (paid) fans. Sammartino won by drop kicking Monsoon out of the ring. It must have been one of the most fabulous drop kicks of all time {{cite news}}: Missing or empty |title= (help

The WWF's tour of India did great guns as both the 2/2 and 2/3 shows in Bombay and Bangalore drew in excess of 30,000 fans in outdoor cricket pitches. They weren't even major angle matches as they just did a series of bouts with the babyface winning every match with bouts like Bret Hart vs. Tatanka on top. It was a sold tour so most of the crew earned in the $6,000 range for the four dates, but got to stay in great hotels on the road.

The attendance as would be normally announced for an event was 93,730 people, breaking the WWE's all-time total attendance (paid plus comps) record of 79,127 set at the 1992 SummerSlam show at Wembley Stadium, which barely beat out the 1987 WrestleMania III show which did more than 78,000. The actual number in the building was 97,769. ... the company had pushed the idea from the start of drawing 100,000 people (pretty much insuring they would have to announce a number over that or it would be a disappointment to the fans) ... The WWE announced the number at 101,763, which is the mythical number "for entertainment purposes" as Vince McMahon told me about the difference between real numbers and announced numbers years ago.
