1. Bret "Hitman" Hart vs. Kurt Angle
The two greatest 'wrestlers' of their separate generations, two men who always stole the show on 'big' occassions and never to my knowledge performed bellow expectations and, in my opinon, my two favourite men to actually observe work, move for move, as true artists working their crafts.
2. Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock
My favourite wrester of all time (HBK) against the man who re-invented the industry in his absence in Rock. The promos and build-up would be must-see, plus the match itself, well if HBK can steal the show with Hogan or Flair, even today with so much ring rust then The Rock would surely be up to the task physically, plus he was always underated as a worker IMO, you dont get a sold-out crowd be chant your name unless they see something they like, so this one would be an equal dose of 'sizzle and steak' as JR would say.
3. Undertaker vs. Sting
It was said earlier on, but this would truly be 'franchise vs. franchise' although WWE have had many franchise players, WCW only had one and that was the man they call Sting. And taker is the only guy with an uninterrupted career that never left New York to go elsewhere after becoming a star and never pursued a career in movies over wrestling. Both are truly loyal men, respected by their peers and always over HUGE! When takers goes down selling, and then finally sits back up, the crowd go crazy-wild, while when Sting takes a beating, thn finally starts no-selling before firing-up, the crowd goes wild again...truly the two most loved pure babyfaces i have witnessed perform, this one would go back and forth all night.
4. John Cena vs. Batista
obviously not a technical mat classic, but from the day they were crowned champions, at WM21, i have always wondered 'what if?' Who would the crowd side with, who would be the babyface? What could these guys come up with on their own, without an HBK or Undertaker or Triple H to guide them...maybe it would stink, but maybe not, maybe they have learned enough and have won enough acceptance from the crowd to get a huge reaction without doing much and maybe they could surprise everyone...maybe we might even see it one day...maybe summerslam, maybe wrestlemania...but all i know is i would love to see it...i have goose bump now just thinking about it and i can almost hear the crowd going nutz.
5. Triple H vs. Edge
possibly the two greatest heels in the industry today, but one of them is a babyface. There was a time when the thought of sold out arena chanting for The Game would seem like a fantasy, but nowadays i think the crowds appreciate his in-ring brilliance and words on the mic and are able to separate that from his backstage dealings..., held down for so long in his early days in preference to Rock & Austin, while edge is arguably his successor in the main event stakes, the Rated R Superstar was also kept down in favour of Cena, Batista and Orton but is now proving to be better then them all and also is HHH's natural biggest rival in the ring. WM25? i would put a large slice of cash on it, but whether is does or does not go ahead then, it surely will one day and will be a huge draw...
6. Steve Austin vs. Hulk Hogan
Enough said really, the two trademark names for two separate era's of wrestling, defining the times perfectly...a clash of styles and again, who would be crowd cheer for? i think they would go for Austin in the arly stages, but when Hogan started to Hulk-up my bet is the people would be solidly behind the Hulkster, before finally going back and forth in the closing moments...who gets to go over? no one would know for sure until the 1-2-3 and that is a big factor in drawing money...you have to pay, to see for yourself.
