Ask any fan who's done it and they'll tell you that you've got to go to at least one WrestleMania in your life - not only do the biggest and best moments of the year happen at the show of shows, but the stadium atmosphere is one-of-a-kind when it comes to U.S. wrestling. Beyond even that, the Hall of Fame ceremony, WrestleMania Axxess, and Monday Night Raw make it a never-boring multi-day event. It's impossible to argue with having been in Phoenix to see Shawn Michaels's last match, Miami to witness The Rock and John Cena clash for the first time ever, or New Orleans to watch Daniel Bryan capture the WWE Championship. It's a little harder to justify trips for less important shows - like going to Boston to watch Randy Orton and The Big Show battle at the Survivor Series. As disappointing as moments like that seem on television, they're worse when factoring in the costs associated with seeing them live.
