Best matches that never happened

[Pinkfloyd]

Good call. I just wonder how they would make that believable.

I guess it could work with a lot of countering/reversing.

Oh that's easy, Brock mostly dominates the match with power moves and Bryan gets a few catches of Lesnar in submission moves. Lesnar should still be booked to win in most situations but believability with DB and Lesnar is easy. They've both done that story before and are very good at it.

I know in hindsight with his health it worked out they didn't push DB again, but THIS was the match I wanted to see at Mania last year. Think most people did too.

Nakamura vs Daniel Bryan is on my list. It is worse because with him now in WWE if DB was healthy it legit could of happened.

Doubt it will happen so Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks vs New Day

I was going to say Nakamura vs Bryan

Isn't that one of the reasons Nakamura wanted to come to WWE ?

Kyle O'Reilly vs Daniel Bryan

I think so, and DB was pushing hard for WWE to do a cross promotion with New Japan so they could have a match before the concussions took their toll.

They both wanted to have it.

Cesaro vs Brock Lesnar

The only reason I say this is because Cesaro won't get a push to face this guy

I think that match will happen.

More Hogan being Hogan. He just flat out didn't want to job to Brett and apparently said some nasty things about Brett as well.

I have always wondered why Bret agreed to work with him while in WCW when they were both in the NWO, knowing about their past when both were in the WWE.

I don't think Brett is a big politic guy. Ya he moans a lot, but I think he still did what he was asked most of the time. Also I don't think he was in much of a position to be choicy at that point in his career.

 

[Kimi]

I don't think Bret in WCW really cared about anything. The entire place was a nut house by the time he got there.

2) HBK vs. The Rock. I don't even know if these guys ever fought?

I heard Shawn wanted this match when he came back from injury, but Rock refused to do it because HBK was a dick to him when Rock was a rookie.

I wish Chris Hero "Kassius Ohno" stayed in developmental a little while longer, imagine all the insane matches he could have worked in 2014-present NXT. Hero vs. Zayn, Hero vs. Owens, Hero vs. Neville, Hero vs. Balor, Hero vs. Itami, Hero vs. Joe, Hero vs. Crews, Hero vs. Breeze, Hero vs. Nakamura......

Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart - Now that would be a technical masterpiece.

Note to Chris Cutter: I have been planning for a summer fantasy draft since following the last one and I want in when it happens this year.

It'll happen, and I'm glad you're interested.

Just gotta figure out the best time to do it

If you want to get technical, there WAS a Sting-UT match in WCW when the latter was Mark Callous in 1990. As the story goes, the match was so terrible that they dragged Harley Race out of retirement in the next town to do the match. Mark would leave the company shortly after. Probably for the best.

I would have loved to see a William Regal-Bruno Sammartino match, but their careers barely crossed if at all. Or Regal-Backlund.

 

[OmniSens]

What a charismatic match Rock vs HBK would have been. The wrestling would have told a better story alone than the storylines going on today.

There was a match Vince scouted where Taker could barely move due to an injury and he nearly wasn't signed by WWF because of it.

Was it this match?

I doubt it since UT was a last minute replacement for Barry Windham. The timeline suggests that WWF probably already had him coming in since he gave notice to WCW within a week of the show happening (which was Sept. 1, 1990 in Greensboro before only 2,600)

nobody to blame for that but Hero himself. He was told by brass to get into shape and hit the gym lots of times and just didn't.

But no one wants to admit that.

I want to see that so much, I think I'll have to get the stream.
I wish they'd come north, I'd love to take my wife to one of their shows.

Yeah, I hate the travelling I have to do to go. Even ICW is awkward from here.
