Well, they originally tried that with Wrestlemania 7. They booked it in the LA Memorial Coliseum, but when tickets wouldn't move they made up a "security problem" story and moved it across the street to the LA Memorial Sports Arena. If there was any time they could have beaten their record, it was in the late 90's when wrestling was fire-hot. But I couldn't fathom 95,000 fans buying a ticket to see Sheamus or John Cena. No knock to them, but there's a huge drop off from Hogan to Cena when it comes to ticket sales.
The only match that could draw those numbers today, with a very solid undercard, is if Taker announced his final match for Mania. If Taker, with the completely undefeated streak, is retiring at mania, there's going to be alot of people who will want to be there to see if the streak officially ends. Anything short of that, though, I can't picture it.
