# List of professional wrestling attendance records in Mexico

The following is a list of professional wrestling attendance records in Mexico. The list is dominated by the now defunct Mexican Lucha Libre promotion Universal Wrestling Association (UWA) which was the main rival of Empresa Mexicana de Lucha Libre (EMLL, now Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL)), Mexico's oldest professional wrestling promotion, during the 1970s and '80s. Televicentro Mexico (TVC), an early rival to EMLL, has two events on the list. The country's modern two biggest promotions, CMLL and Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide (AAA, originally Asistencia Asesoría y Administración), have seven and six events on the list, respectively. The U.S.-based WWE, which has controlled the industry in North America since 2002, has been slowly making inroads into the country holding several successful Raw and SmackDown television tapings at the El Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City between 2006 and 2011.
According to this list, 3 events are from AAA's flagship Triplemanía pay-per-view (PPV) event series, which since 1994's Triplemanía II-C has been held exclusively in stadiums that typically have a seating capacity of at least 20,000 people or more. The event series was created by Antonio Peña after breaking away from CMLL in 1992.
All but eleven of the events have been held in Mexico's capital city of Mexico City, while seven additional events have been held in the State of Mexico, and one each in Jalisco, Nayarit, and Querétaro.
