Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Inspired by great matches that did happen, how about some great matches that will never happen due to whatever circumstances, age, death, whatever. I'll, of course, start. Bret Hart vs Cactus Jack. Fine tech wrestler who can brawl and a good brawler who knows tech. Never happened, tragic. Dynamite kid vs Low-ki. I shudder to think how awesome it could be. Maybe this belongs in fantasy but, oh well.
EL DANDY~! Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 American Dragon vs. Shawn Michaels Student vs. Teacher. The best man to come out of his school against the man himself...it would be awesome. It's a pain that we will never EVER see that match. I think it could be outstanding.
Guest BAR Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Even though it's already happened, Dynamite Kid (1983) vs. Chris Benoit (1999) would be unbelievable, maybe 2/3 Falls.
Guest Sandman9000 Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Rey Mysterio (1995) vs. The Amazing Red (Today) Complete, total aerial insanity.
Guest Tim Cooke Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Vader (1993) v Kawada (1993-1998) Takada (1993) v Kawada (1993-1998) Vader (1993) v Kobashi (1993) Misawa (1996) v Vader (1993) Misawa/Akiyama (1996) v Vader(1993)/Kawada (1993-1998) Kawada/Taue (1996) v Williams/Ace (1996) Junior Four Horsemen (Liger/Benoit/Guerrero/Samurai) v Togo/Taka/Teioh/Shiryu (Elimination Match) Takada (1988) v Tamura (1997) Volk Han v Takada (1988) Tim
Guest godthedog Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 steiner brothers v. misawa & kobashi 97 heel bret hart v. summer 2001 face kurt angle 89 flair v. 97 austin 89 steamboat v. 94 bret or owen hart stan hansen v. cactus jack (this seems like a weird one, but i'd still like to see it)
Guest TheHulkster Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Bruiser Brody Vs Stan Hansen (Damn you Invader!) Bret Hart (91-97) Vs Eddie Guerrero HBK (93-97) Vs RVD in a ladder match (so what, i'm a mark)
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 LOD(85) vs Demolition(89) Dynamite Kid vs HBK Bret Hart(94) and Owen Hart(94) vs Kerry(84) and David Von Erich(alive) Midnight Express(88) vs Rockers(88) Kurt Angle vs Ric Flair(pre78-93) Eddy Guerrero vs Bret Hart
Guest Youre Gonna Learn Posted October 8, 2002 Report Posted October 8, 2002 Any of these: Bret Hart Owen Hart Shawn Michaels Against any of these: Rob Van Dam Kurt Angle Chris Benoit
Guest RickyChosyu Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 I always thought that it was a shame that Chris Benoit and Ultimo Dragon never faced off in '95-96 (at least not to my knowledge). I think Akira Hokuto ('93) vs. Jaguar Yakota ('85) would be quite something, too. *EDIT*Cynical Profit: It wasn't Cactus, but I'm pretty sure Foley fought Hart on at least one point, regardless of what gimick he had at the time. I'm pretty sure that it happened sometimes before WM 12 when Bret was champ and Mankind was playing heel, and it also could have happened when Dude Love heald the tag titles with Austin in '97.
Guest Kahran Ramsus Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 I would love to see Ricky Steamboat vs. Chris Benoit.
Guest Mattdotcom Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Something I've always wanted to see moreso because of the build than the actual match... Dude Love (1997 face)versus Kurt Angle (2002 heel) I usually hate comedy matches, but they could pull it off better than anyone.
Guest Jack Tunney Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Jake "The Snake" Roberts (87-89) vs. Cactus Jack (whenever) No DQ. And they'd have to cut freaky ass promos in the weeks leading up to the match.
Guest deadbeater Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Molly Holly vs Minami Toyota, no WWE restrictions.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 Yeah Foley did fight hart, from what ive been told, but cactus jack didnt, and foley always reved himself up as cactus. And to the posters, i wasnt really going for time frames, just guys who will never get a chance to fight for whatever. Careerwise wasnt a concern. Flair vs himself, if ya know, cloning was possible. That would probably be the greatest match in NA. Vince vs Turner, in a ring. Hulk vs Cactus, just for the hell of it. Austin vs Hansen or Brody, hell make it a 3 way.
Guest RickyChosyu Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 If you don't care about where each person was careerwise, any Foley/Hart match should suffice, right? MchMahon vs. Turner? My head hurts.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 9, 2002 Report Posted October 9, 2002 But foley as cactus is different then foley as mankind. its about his state of mind.
Guest nl5xsk1 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I've always been a tag team mark: Brody & Hansen vs. Miracle Violence Connection (Williams and Gordy) British Bulldogs vs. Road Warriors British Bulldogs vs. Midnite X-press Money Inc. vs. Tully and Arn
Guest RickyChosyu Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 But foley as cactus is different then foley as mankind. its about his state of mind. How so? What difference was there between Cactus's WWF matches and Mankind's matches that he worked as a babyface? The gimicks were different, but he was playing the same character, really.
Guest humanoid92 Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Great thread. How about: Steamboat vs. Jericho Steamboat vs. Benoit Steamboat vs. Malenko Steamboat vs. Angle Steamboat vs. HBK Bret vs. Angle Bret vs. Malenko Bret vs. Jericho Owen vs. Jericho Owen vs. RVD Dynamite Kid vs. HBK You get the idea with the various combinations... any of those would be awesome. As for tag teams: The Rockers vs. The Midnight Express The Hart Foundation vs. The Midnight Express Rock N Roll Express vs. Owen & Bulldog The Rockers vs. Owen & Bulldog Again, you get the idea...
Guest godthedog Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 dammit man, where's the hollywood blondes?
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Blondes vs Bret and Owen...that would be 5* easy. Watch Mankind vs vader and cactus vs vader...there is a big difference. Its all about foleys state of mind, he talked about in his book about how cactus is this insecure side of him. Maybe orginal mankind was cactus like, but thats when the character was new and he was still working the kinks out. Cactus is not the same as Mankind, look at it this way, Cactus Jack is not Dude Love. Its about how Foely does it, its one of those little things I like about certain wrestlers.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Hayabusa vs Flyin Brian Pillman. The Lyger matches were great, this would probably be very cool with Busa breaking out spot after spot and Brian trying to hold it all together. I could see 4*.
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Steiners, when they didnt suck, vs Kwanda & Misawa *Drools*
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Yeah, seriously. Mankind's matches featured Foley doing a lot more bumping and selling, with some minor offense here and there, but mostly building up to the Mandible Claw. Dude Love matches were all-out comedies (aside from the heel Dude Love). And Cactus Jack was a lot more offense-based than either Dude Love or Mankind.
Guest godthedog Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 bret & owen v. benoit & jericho.
Guest BorneAgain Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 Raven vs Jake the Snake Roberts The masters of the DDT go at it... the experts at ring pyscology... teacher vs student Man, the promos for this match would have been incredible
Guest cynicalprofit Posted October 12, 2002 Report Posted October 12, 2002 Jake vs Raven vs Cactus, the DDT vs the DDT vs the DA DDT.
Guest Special K Posted October 12, 2002 Report Posted October 12, 2002 I personally want to see prime Tajiri v. Prime Ohtani or HHH v. stiff Vader,
