1 - Boxing Day test MCG
2 - Royal Rumble
3 - NFL Conference Championship Game (In a dome)
4 - Any Elite level Sumo Event (Tokyo)
5 - Isle of Man TT

The sumo is excellent to watch.  I was lucky enough to go to two 'basho' at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo (which is the purpose-built arena for sumo where they also hold boxing and other martial arts events), and one in Osaka.

I was at a basho in 1999. Did you get an 'autograph'?
Sumo autographs are awesome. Instead of wasting time writing their name, they place their hand in ink, then slap it down on a card so you get their huge paw print. Much more interesting than an autograph I think and probably a lot quicker for them to pump out a couple of hundred for the paying masses. I got Terao's.

I think I am in the majority who don't regard poker as a sport and this thread I started through the eyes of a spectator and poker would be so far down that list.

1999, that's when I was in Japan - we might have been at the same basho! I have quite a few of the tegata, including Terao's (he was the housewife's favourite for his looks ).  No idea where they are now, but will have to dig them out and get them on the wall (also have Musashimaru, Takanohana, Wakanohana, Kyokushuzan, Chiyotaikai and Kaio).

If I had 50% of the chip leader on the WSOP ME final table, I'd be OK with considering poker to be a sport...

Sadly it is.  It's not really sport either.  Yes, impressive ability, etc., but not a sport.
