Has to be either a NZ Lions tour, an away Ashes series or a Windies test series.

Boxing Day Ashes test for me. Doubt I'll ever get to do that. Would also like to go to a test in the West Indies, again doubt that will ever happen.

Would like to see more NHL games live, got more chance of doing that one. Would particularly like to see my team (Ottawa Senators).

I saw the Edmonton Oilers against Dallas? Or somebody a few years ago, it was really boring

I think probably boxing.

I wouldn't be too fussed about a World Cup Final unless it was England.

I am shocked you haven't done them yet CJ you always seem to be flying off somewhere

Haha! I do try to get about. Sure plenty of people do more though! When we were in Montego Bay last year the wife took exception to me looking at the Windies fixtures just in case they were playing a test on the island!

Madison Square Gardens and Vegas for some boxing. Pikes Peak for a bit of road racing. Singapore and Monaco for the GP's. Love to go back to the IOM to see the current generation of Dunlop's race having been privileged enough to see the last generation race there. Indy500 and some Nascar. World Cup Final somewhere exotic but not the next two.

San Marino gp, F1?? There hasn't been one for about 10 years

Moto GP has been bigger in those parts for a while now. Now that's an event everyone should try to do at some point.

Football at the Maracana

Wrestlemania (don't judge me)

CCFC at Wembley - I'm not going until we get there and I've turned down chances to go.

Wrestlemania (don't judge me)

Wrestlemania is on my bucket list just hope the rumours of Wembley hosting it come true

Been to 3 (so far), 26 in Phoenix, 28 in Miami and 29 in NY/NJ. Would highly recommend it.

Depending on where it is and flight costs you can actually do it pretty cheap. There's always cheap hotels if you look around and you'll only be there to sleep so the most basic will do. Sitting at the front is thousands these days but if you're happy to be further back ticket prices aren't too bad.

Tempted by Orlando next year if my finances are in better shape than they are right now.

I'm amazed they've only done one major PPV in the UK - and that was 15+ years ago.

Don't think we'll ever get Mania, the weather isn't reliable enough at this time of year. More chance of SummerSlam.

They did speak with Wembley, Old Trafford and Millennium Stadium a couple of years back about holding that here but nothing came of it.

Think the less they rely on PPV revenues and the more it is the WWE Network the more chance there is they will not be concerned about the time difference having it over here.

Superbowl
Boxing day test at the MCG - After watching India v Aus in a ODI in Jan, what an incredible stadium, can only imagine what it would be like for the Ashes, also I have seen clips of Aussie Rules finals there which also looks incredible.
El Classico at the Nou Camp - went to the 4-0 drubbing at the Bernabao in November, would love to get to one at the Nou Camp.

Was at the whole 2010 Boxing Day Test in Melbourne (Australia 98 all out, England 157/0 at the end of the 1st day, we'll have worse days!) sporting wise that'll take some beating! MCG is a simply incredible stadium! The sheer size is breathtaking!!


Would love to do a Lions tour!

Closer to home an Old Firm game at Celtic park (from the Celtic end)

I was at the third (and final day) of the Boxing Day ashes test in 2006. Cost me 20 Aussie Dollars for a ticket in the home end which at the time was equivalent to around £8!!!

Even jibbed into the England end at lunch and sat in with the Barmy Army!! Fantastic atmosphere and some of the chants were hilarious, my particular favourite being "Get your shit stars off our flag".

Highly recommended if you can, although I then when and lost a fortune in the Casino after which wasn't too good as a backpacker!!!
