WrestleMania is a pay-per-view program produced by World Wrestling Entertainment. It is the company's biggest show of the year, and is said to be the equivalent of a Super Bowl/World Series for professional wrestling. It was often compared to Starrcade, which was considered the premier event for National Wrestling Alliance flagship Jim Crockett Promotions, later World Championship Wrestling. Starrcade began in 1983, two years before WrestleMania. The event is held around March or April. The record attendance claimed by WWE for a WrestleMania was in 1987 at WrestleMania III, which boasted a 93,173 number. However, numerous sources, such as Dave Meltzer, have reported that WrestleMania III's attendance number was actually 78,000.[1] Regardless, WrestleMania III's official record would stand for 29 years, before being broken at WrestleMania 32, which claimed a record of 101,763 (but was revealed by Meltzer to actually be a paid attendance of 93,730[2]).
