List of World Championship Wrestling attendance records

After the sale of JCP to Ted Turner in 1988, the company was rebranded as World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

For the next six years, WCW saw record-low attendances under the management of Turner executive Jim Herd.

A new rivalry with the WWF, known as the "Monday Night War", was a major force driving the 1990s wrestling boom.

WCW's pay-per-view events and Nitro's live television episodes during this period would surpass almost all of the previous records set by JCP during the 1970s and 80s.

[2][3][4] The list is dominated by WCW's flagship Monday Nitro television program, which aired from various arenas and locations across the world during its 5-year run.

The Omni , one of the most popular wrestling venues in Southeastern U.S. during the "Territory-era", set a number of attendance records in the 1980s and 1990s. Arn Anderson has called The Omni the equivalent of Madison Square Garden for Southern wrestling fans. [ 1 ]
