Dream Match

Guest Your Olympic Hero

Imagine a Steiner Brothers vs. Pillman & Zenk match in 1990. Both teams were faces, but they could take turns playing the heels working over a member of the other team. Obviously the Steiners would probably go over and a group hug would result... but I think this match could easily break the **** level. Your thoughts?

 

Was there ever a Steiners vs. Midnights match from 1990 that was given 20 minutes atleast?

I still think about the many blown chances WCW had from 1989-1994 with the tag Matches...

Bret/Angle...we could all wish can't we.

And think, if Kurt accepted the WWF's offer after Atlanta 96, we could have got it.

Maybe...But Angle was in OVW for a year...So I don't know if Angle would've debuted on time...

Steiners (1991) vs. Benoit/Angle (2002) would tickle my fancy.

I've said it before and I'll say it again,

 

Randy Savage (85-89) vs HHH (2000-2001) No DQ

Well he was in OVW for about year, which if he started right after the Olympics in 96 would mean he could've been put in The Patriot's place at Ground Zero, and would've always had that music.

I'll go a similiar route and say 85-59 Savage vs. Chris Jericho from 1998.

 

Must include pre and post match interviews!

Nothing televised that I'm aware of, but a lot of great stuff at house shows if you can find a fancam of it.

I always wanted to see heel Kurt Angle (early-2000 version) against face Dude Love for no good reason.

I GOTTA get that match. Has anyone seen it and was it as good as I could imagine it being?

You know, it says Shotgun but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a dark match. I believe they had more than one during this time. Angle spoke of it in his book as well.

 

Angle spring 99 is NOT Angle 03 - and this was a squash match - so I wouldn't lay claim to the bout being anything other than noteworthy on paper.

The match I would love to see is RVD vs. Muta... they both had such innovative offense, especially Muta in his prime, when he came to the NWA for awhile, when he was taking on Ric Flair..

 

For tag teams, I would say the British Bulldogs (pre-Matilda) against the Midnight Express (Eaton/Lane)

According to this site, , Owen/Angle was indeed a dark match.

 

But check this out. Credit ddtdigest.com

Dark Match: Owen Hart pinned Kurt Angle after a spinning heel kick.

 

Poor Owen. He's gone from Intercontinental Champion and a major player on WWF's pay-per-views to doing dark matches for Monday night shows. I just hope he doesn't try a piledriver.

 

Angle comes out to Del Wilkes' (The Patriot) old theme.

 

As misused as Hart has been, he still gets heat, even though it's in the form of ten thousand plus fans yelling "Nugget!"

 

This would be your cookie-cutter Nitro or Thunder match. Kurt controls at the start and hits a Northern Lights suplex at one point for two.

 

Hart grabs Angle on a leapfrog attempt and powerbombs him.

 

Angle comes back with a powerslam but Hart hits an enziguri shortly after.

 

Hart goes up top and gets crotched, allowing Angle to hit a superplex for two.

 

Hart comes off the ropes into Angle, who hesitates for about two seconds before applying a side belly-to-belly suplex.

 

Hart finishes Angle off with a spinning heel kick.

 

Angle looked alright, but he needs some polish before going on Heat or RAW.

 

You're welcome. :P

ANGLE NEEDS POLISH? Wow. The first and ONLY time that likely ever been said...

 

So I guess Owen/Angle wasn't all that much...

Bret Hart Vs Hulk Hogan

 

Brian Pillman Vs Owen Hart

 

Ric Flair Vs Chris Benoit

While it's true just about all of those matches never took place on TV, some of them did happen.

 

Bret fought Hogan across several California shows in the summer of 99, when Hogan had the strap and before Bret returned to action after Owen's death. I believe it was just over one weekend. They were all draws / no contests after the interference of, I believe, Lex Luger.

 

Pillman fought Owen in the 97 IC title tournament. This particular match was held at the famous Raw @ MSG telecast about a week before Pillman's death. Now, if it were Pillman 91-93 against Owen 93-99 - THAT would have ruled. This match wasn't much to speak of since the two were teammates and it included the interference of Goldust.

 

Benoit beat Flair around the WCW house show circuit around the time of Mayhem 99 / Starrcade 99, to give Benoit more credibility as a main event player.
