AxB Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 1 minute ago, Spontaneous said: How many actual dream matches are left? I'm talking the ones that seem so remote a possibility that you can only dream of them. Stuff like Rock vs Michaels or Cena vs Tanahashi. Loads, because history doesn't stop. New stars come into the wrestling business all the time. Five years ago, nobody was looking forward to Roman Reigns vs Jacob Fatu, because nobody knew who Jacob Fatu was. Dante Martin vs Rey Fenix, nobody was dreaming of that because Dante was in high school. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd find something like Miyahara vs Okada to be a dream match. It's unlikely to happen anytime soon or ever. Dante Martin vs Fenix could happen any week. Fatu vs Reigns, I don't see it as a dream match. Rock vs Reigns would fit the bill more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Danielson has a ton of dream matches, vs Darby, Okada, Ibushi, Naito, Shingo, WALTER, Dragon Lee, Rush, Dunn, Keith Lee, LA Park, the list can go on and on. CM Punk/Omega probably qualifies. That's not counting ones that probably will never happen like Young Bucks/New Day, Roman/Okada, Big E/Shingo and Omega/Lesnar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuntmanCrowley Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I've always wanted to see the Uso's v the Briscoes just for the similar promo cadences/styles. Plus theyd absolutely kill it int he ring. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 someone else might have made this sort of comparison before but Colt Cabana was CM Punk's Stevie Richards at least until the lawsuit, right? Was just inspired by the "Eddie Kingston and CM Punk had legit heat in IWA Mid South" leak to the Observer that the Reddit/SC people immediately thought was leaked anonymously by Colt Cabana. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwoy2j Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It'll likely never happen but I'd love to see Malachi/Aleister Black vs. Brock. I'd also like a proper Moxley vs. Brock match. One where Brock is actually motivated to do something other than suplex Mox around for 5 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the issue with Brock not just motivation but that he didn't want to do the hardcore/deathmatch type of shit Moxley wanted to do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of both I'd say along with the fact Brock Lesnar was returning to the UFC to fight Mark Hunt at UFC 200 in July 2016, three months after his match with Dean Ambrose at WrestleMania XXXII. One of the worst WrestleMania's ever. Only had two matches going for it: Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Becky Lynch for the newly introduced to the show WWE Women's Championship with the wrong woman going over and the WWE Intercontinental Championship Ladder match as Zack Ryder surprisingly won.

Shartnado Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Now, all this talk about dream matches makes me sad, because I consider my dream matches rather reasonable and I've never been the one to "dream big", so to speak. Yet, we live in a world where I've been waiting for PAC vs Buddy Murphy, PAC vs Pete Dunne, Dunne vs Murphy and just very recently Zoe Starks vs Ivy Nile and all of these have eluded me and continue do so.

kafkonia Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 The reason there aren't any real WWE dream matches is that everyone has pretty much wrestled everyone else. There are exceptions, like Brock and Lashley, but who has high expectations for a Brock match these days? Hopes, sure, but expectations? With AEW, there's at least the sense that people who aren't under contract could walk in the door for some unexpected combinations. Personally, my dream is to have UltraMantis Black do colour with Excalibur on pbp for the first televised two-masked-man commentary booth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Mox was the one who wanted to take all of the stupid risks but Brock wasn't even game to do any of that IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everything that was a dream match involved a combo that were in different promotions for a long time and there weren't two promotions near each other in stature for a long time. So some dream match in the near future involves people who have never worked in the same promotion but could have a cool match. Like maybe there's some AEW guys who hasn't worked Rey Mysterio or maybe Jacob Fatu vs Roman Reigns could be cool or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'd like Rey vs Andrade again in AEW. Judging by Bryan's run since coming in, I think Rey would've had a more fulfilling run in AEW. Danielsons been on TV every week for the past 2 months and every match has meant something and he's face people up and down the card. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
