I came up with kind of a dream match a little while ago, and haven't been able to stop thinking about how awesome it would have been had we got to see it. The match in question is Steve Austin, at the height of his anti-authority run, versus 1993-era Matt Borne as heel Doink. The premise for the match is that Mr. McMahon, frustrated after constantly being thwarted by Austin, vows to bring in a wrestler who truly captures his vision of pro-wrestling. It's heavily implied that we're going to get some kind of corporate champion, but it ends up being Doink, because what sums up Vince's vision of pro wrestling better than a clown, right? Austin and Borne were so good, such great characters, and so diametrically opposed, that I think they could have done some great stuff together, and it would have made for a great visual seeing them square up. I imagined on the last Raw or whatever before their big match, after weeks of getting attacked by Doink, Austin comes out and vows that tonight he's going to stunner the clown. They play this up big on commentary throughout the night, but Vince comes out and says that Austin can't stunner the clown, because Doink isn't in the building. Cue Austin coming out, fighting off Vince's minions, and then giving Vince a stunner and claiming "I told you I was going to stunner the clown tonight, and you are, without a doubt, the single biggest clown in the WWF". Then Doink comes through the crowd and lays Austin out with his unicycle or something. Man, that would have been a great feud. Anyway, really I just wanted to share the idea, but to turn it into a topic of discussion, who (and bear in mind you can have anyone from the history of wrestling) do you think would have made a great Austin opponent during the Attitude Era? The more creative and left-field the suggestions, the better.
