Hulk Hogan vs Andre in front of...HOW MANY?

Ah, the legendary #WWF #WrestleMania III attendance dispute - a debate so heated it makes wrestling storylines look calm!

The core controversy: Whether the Pontiac Silverdome actually had 93,173 fans (the official #WWE claim) or a more "modest" 78,000 fans.

WWE, led by Vince McMahon, has steadfastly maintained the 93,173 figure for decades. This number made WrestleMania III the "largest indoor attendance in entertainment history" - a claim McMahon loved to trumpet.

Wrestling historians and fact-checkers have relentlessly challenged this number. Their investigations suggest the actual attendance was closer to 78,000 - still massively impressive, but not the mythical number WWE promoted.

The hilarious part? This dispute has become almost as legendary as the Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant match itself. Fans debate it with the passion of Supreme Court justices arguing constitutional law. Spreadsheets have been created. Diagrams drawn. Seating charts meticulously analyzed.

McMahon's response has basically been a wrestling-style "IF YOU WANT PROOF, COME GET SOME!" - maintaining the myth with the same kayfabe commitment he'd defend a wrestling storyline.

The real winner? Probably the lawyers who'd love to litigate this if anyone cared enough to file a formal complaint.
