The match I would love to see is Kurt Angle vs Hulk Hogan. I know this would not be an automatic choice for many people but I personally would love to see it. Hear me out. Kurt Angle is, in my opinion, the best wrestler, bar no one, to ever enter a wrestling ring. The only person who comes close to evoking the same amount of emotion as Kurt Angle, for me, is the Hoolywood Hulkster. For me it would be interesting to see the styles of the two men meet. Kurt is renowned for his athletic ability, wrestling background and just over all talent. Hulk Hogan is known for his ring presence, his strength and his charisma. I know this match will never happen but here is a few reasons why it should:
1. This match would be the biggest draw for people like me, ever. There is no amount of money that I would not pay to go and see this match. I imagine it to be like a boxing match. 6 months prior to the fight, the contenders promote the match endlessly and when the match arrives, the hype that surrounds it is the main reason that people see it. The thing wrong with this analogy is that sometimes boxing can disappoint you. Make no mistake that if this match did ever happen it would not disappoint in terms of hype and build.
2. The match itself would be one for the ages. I can imagine Kurt Angle throwing everything at the Hulkster and Hogan just keeps coming back at him with his head shaking and the fingers pointing. "Whatcha gonna do?" Everytime I think of this I get goosebumps, honestly. I know if it was to go ahead now. Hogan could not keep up with Kurt Angle. But, if we take it back to Hogan's prime and Kurt Angles prime, I honestly have no idea who would win. Angle would hit Hogan with all the slams in the book, his wrestling skill would be superior to Hogan. Hogan would hit back with some heavy power moves, the big boot, the leg drop. I think ultimately, the wrestling skill of Kurt would be too much for Hogan. Kurt Angle is a wrestler who is comfortable in every aspect of pro wrestling: suplexes, submission, power. The list could go on and on forever.
3. And this is my last point. The crowd would go absolutely wild for a match of this caliber. A hero in another generation vs an undoubted wrestling superstar, and I use the term wrestling very literally. Who could honestly say they would not cheer when they hear Hulks music hit the arena, coming out to face the undoubted ability of Kurrt Angle? I know I would.
