Guest cynicalprofit Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EL DANDY~! 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RickyChosyu Report post 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 Mattdotcom Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jack Tunney Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest cynicalprofit Report post 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 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest RickyChosyu Report post 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 Report post 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 cynicalprofit Report post 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 Report post 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*. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post 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.
