Ruthless-RKO
F*ck Friends, Rather die wiv ma AK!
It's time for a little fantasy booking. Yesterday, I was thinking of matches that could have happened back in the day and what would have sold the most tickets (as in most people in an arena). So I thought I'd propose this question to all of you.
Let's say that you owned an arena that was capable of fitting as many people as you need be. That means it could do 20 people, 2,000 people, 20,000 people, even 2,000,000 people or more. You also are capable of signing any wrestler you want and making any match you want at the time. But there are a few rules:
1. The match has to be physically possible. All of the wrestlers must be alive and capable of wrestling. This means you can't book John Cena vs. Lou Thesz for example.
2. All of the wrestlers in your match must be from the same point in time. This means you can't book 1987 Hogan vs 1998 Austin. However you can book 1998 Hogan vs 1998 Austin.
3. The date selected for both wrestlers must be the same. For example, you can't pick Austin from November of 1998 but Sting from January of 1998. This is important because one guy could fizzle out over a few months.
So with these rules in mind, what match do you think would have sold the most tickets in a limitless arena? I'll put mine in spoiler tags for those who don't want any inspiration and want to think on their own:
I'm sure you guys can think of loads more..

Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Bill Goldberg in the summer of 1998 - at the height of their popularities would have blown everything else out of the water.
Make sure Austin is WWE Champion, Goldberg is WCW Champion and of course the streak would be on the line and you'd have the makings of the biggest match ever.
It could have been an outdoors standing show like a music festival. I don't think there is a venue that could have held it.
