TNA Wrestling Shatters Attendance Record
Slammiversary Draws Record Crowd in North America
TNA Wrestling has achieved a significant milestone, setting a new attendance record for a North American event. The highly anticipated Slammiversary show on July 20 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, welcomed 7,623 fans, marking the largest audience in the company’s 23-year history.
A Milestone Achieved
The electrifying atmosphere at UBS Arena was palpable as **Tom Hannifan**, a TNA announcer, officially revealed the record-breaking attendance during the live broadcast. This achievement surpasses the previous record set in 2013, signifying a major step forward for the wrestling promotion.
“This company has worked tirelessly since last December when it was announced that Slammiversary would be held at the UBS Arena. To see a record-setting crowd at the UBS Arena was a milestone moment for TNA Wrestling that no one will ever forget.”
—Carlos Silva, TNA Wrestling President
This monumental attendance figure underscores the growing popularity of TNA Wrestling. For comparison, a recent major wrestling event, AEW’s All In at Wembley Stadium, set a global record with over 81,000 attendees, showcasing the potential for massive fan engagement in large-scale productions (Forbes, 2023).
