The Complete A-Z Of WrestleMania
23. D - Dallas
The home of WWE's biggest ever crowd (despite fabrication to make it even bigger), Dallas will be etched in WrestleMania history for years to come after packing just shy of 100,000 people into Arlington's AT&T Stadium for the 32nd edition of the show.
'Wrestling Observer' doyen Dave Meltzer reports a paid attendance of 93,730, which still tops their (also enhanced) 93,173 figure established in WWE lore from the monster crowd that packed out Michigan's Pontiac Silverdome for WrestleMania 3 in 1987. Vince McMahon later admitted that their announced total of 101,763 also included ushers, ticket takers and basically anybody in the building during the time of the show.
Validity of numbers aside, the mass of humanity made for an incredible spectacle, even on top of previous blockbusters the company had presented annually since the permanent move to stadiums with WrestleMania 23 in 2007.
The quality of the card left much to be desired, with the sprawling near-five hour broadcast hosting several overtly long and unsatisfying clashes such as the protracted main event between Triple H and Roman Reigns, and the ponderous Hell in a Cell that only served as a slow trek towards an eye-popping Shane McMahon dive.
