Dream Matches

FIgured this might be fun fodder for blog discussion. I’m a big proponent of having Cena/Undertaker headline this year’s show. I suppose it’s possible it’s being saved for next year, or it will never happen as Vince sees them both as equal draws to the show (which isn’t really wrong, Hogan/Andre was a money idea but Hogan drew far more just by himself at that point than Andre ever could so there wasn’t much “waste” aspect to it). Either way, it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen this year. This got me thinking about some of the biggest missed opportunities of all time, specifically for Wrestlemania:Hogan/Flair in 1992 (obviously the most famous)Hogan/Austin in 2002-2003.HBK/Rock in 2003-2010Can you think of any other “dream matches” that really should have headlined the show at some point? Ones that by all rights should have happened, not stuff like Punk/HBK which could have happened if Punk had ascended the card sooner than he did.

Hall & Nash v. Rock & Austin in 2002, maybe?  Doesn’t feel like there would be a big enough tag team to challenge the Outsiders other than that, unless you went with Outsiders v. Brothers of Destruction.  Brock Lesnar v. Austin was really a thing that should have happened, although the timing wasn’t right for Wrestlemania.  And on another note…

Hey here’s a question for the Doomers…..What is the last, legit “Dream Match” left in North American wrestling? And not what you would just like to see, but what could legitimately happen with two guys physically fit enough to square off with proper build up? Is Sting vs Undertaker all that remains? Possibly, and yes, it gets my vote I would pay to see it. Is Austin vs Punk even a reality? I would pay. Goldberg vs Taker or Cena? HBK vs Sting? Undertaker vs Great Muta?

Yeah, Sting’s kind of the magic bullet for dream matches, although part of the problem now is that no one is big enough of a personality to warrant a “dream match”.  I’d say something like Samoa Joe coming to WWE for a series of matches with Punk and Bryan would be awesome if everyone is motivated.  Plus Joe would be one of the few allowed on Punk’s bus.
