10 BIGGEST Wrestling Events Ever

10. WrestleMania 23

74,287 packed into Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan to watch WrestleMania 23. It'd been 20 years since the Granddaddy of Them All had been close to the Motor City, when Hulk Hogan body slammed Andre the Giant in front of 93,173 (we'll get to that completely true figure later) at the iconic Pontiac Silverdome.

Let's get it out the way now in fact. WWE loves to embellish its attendance figures, which they also did at 23. They still think 80,103 people were there, but that number's been proven false. Why do they keep doing this?

So, what did almost 75,000 fans get rewarded with on this night in 2007?

A future President of the United States and soon-to-be disgraced WWE Chief Executive Officer battling over who gets their head shaved, Extreme Championship Wrestling's biggest stars losing to some nobodies, and Kane putting over The Great Khali!

That's not entirely fair to the event. The Money in the Bank ladder match was solid, The Undertaker Vs. Batista stole the show, and Shawn Michaels got to main event for the fourth time in his career.

Having gone back to arenas for 'Manias 20-22, it was delightful to see WWE entering stadiums again. WrestleManias 17-19 had been outdoors (with the roof closed at 18) so it was about time they got their confidence in the product back.
