How far would you travel for a wrestling show?

From one ice rink to another?

I went to Wembley for All In 2023, but that was taking my sis as he wedding present from me and just the train from Manchester. Unless I had stupid money I'd probably never travel more than locally to where I was unless I was working for them.

These days I'll take the kids to a wrestleforce show down the road or travel if landmark show is in London 

 

Lister hit the nail on the head with the mounting costs for a show

I’d still go to the States and hope to one day, but it’s far more likely to be “Christmas holiday to New York” and WWEs Boxing Day at MSG to experience that venue rather than Mania and an overpriced ticket for a shit view of half a PPV at a stadium usually miles from where you’re staying or anything else to do.

I saw Summerslam in LA, but I was already there on holiday so probably doesn't count. Brock/Cena was cool.

The idea of msg Boxing Day show is a good call. New York at Christmas and wrestling sounds more appealing than big ppv for cost vs quality.

North America. So far, it’s been either Dallas for WrestleMania 38 or Vancouver for Survivor Series the other week. They’ll be topped by Vegas if I end up going to Mania next year.

I can’t imagine there ever being a wrestling event in, say, Australia or Japan that would be interesting enough that I’d go there primarily for that. I would like to go to Japan and I’d maybe go to a wrestling event if there was one on while I was there, but I wouldn’t build a trip around attending Wrestle Kingdoms 25 or whatever.
