List of professional wrestling attendance records

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. 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. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter stated actual attendances were about 150,000 and 165,000. 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.
