What's worse is that they turned what was a halfway decent authority vs vigilante story line into a Monday Night Wars feud that nobody really wanted anyone to win.

[@siegfriedc2332]

@@onemuststand7353 This. Absolutely. I initiqlly thought Triple H was a good first opponent for Sting; someone for him to beat before facing Taker next year. As u said, even the build up made it seem sensible that he'd win. But they just had to turn it into a monday night war rehash, which made zero sense because Sting was more known for being an enemy of the nwo.

[@georgemetcalf8763]

How Flair didn't get to run in and the crowd wonders who he'll attack is shitty booking.

[@Rwp019]

It could have been better and got a bigger Pop if the NWO to come out would have been the Wolfpac. Also, Flair coming in and leaving everyone wondering whose side he would take WCW or His Evolution stable mate would have been solid gold. That said Sting should have won as a build for a Taker v Sting Match but this was about Mcmahon wanting to stroke his ego and Bury WCW again and Not what would have put asses in the seats and been good for the business

[@djlune]

No disrespect to William Regal which he's one of my favorites but I think Samoa Joe vs Tazz would be a better dream match #justsaying

[@full6330name]

At every stage of his career,Chris Jericho always looks in his prime.

[@JitteryJackanape]

another one for me is Cena vs The Undertaker. I know it happened in 03, but i would have loved a full fledged feud between the two of them once Cena became the top star. Their brief Mania 34 match also happened way too late in Undertaker's career to never be able to deliver compared to matches Undertaker had with Shawn, HHH and Punk. I think around 2012-2015 would have been the "best time" But 07-09 would have also been good. They were just always on other rosters competing for that brands top championship. Shame really.

[@theswitchblade2683]

Actually undertaker said he was in the best shape hed been in for years when he had that match with cena and wished they couldve had a proper match as he felt he couldve gone for a full 30 minute dream match like everyone wanted, he knew it wouldnt have been as amazing as them in there prime couldve been, but it wouldve been better than him playing the hits for a quick squash match

[@JitteryJackanape]

@@theswitchblade2683 yeah and mania 34 was in 2018. In 2015 he was still doing banger matches with Brock Lesnar. But if you look at the matches he had at that time they were short or not great. Cena also was not available to do something like that due to other commitments he showed up as a guest appearance basically. 2017 his match at Mania with Reigns. Botches but not the worst he'd ever done. 2018 - Super Showdown and Tag with Kane against DX - horrible. 2019 - Goldberg, horrible. Tag with Roman at Extreme Rules against Shane and Mcintyre, carried. 2020 - SuperShowdown Gauntlet not great but AJ helped him, Mania 36 a great cinematic match.

[@diesel101raw]

Stone Cold vs Randy Savage in 1997 wudda been Perfect

[@schockeddog6934]

Is Owen Hart vs Jeff Hardy really a dream match? Two totally different styles that just don't seem like they'd mesh. I can't be the only one that feels this way

[@WhDatBoiG]

[@TheReignofHorror]

Undertaker vs AJ Styles. If that match had happend only few years earlier (either at Wrestlemania 32 or 33) we could have probably seen one last decent if not good in ring match out of the Undertaker, instead of the lackluster match with Shane or the awful match with Roman (AJs matches with Jericho and Shane were good, but nothing to write home about). The match they had in Saudi Arabia was more of an angle and while the boneyard match was good it was not really what I was looking for when I wanted to see this match.

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

I always thought AJ Styles versus Shawn Michaels would have been absolutely amazing. So would AJ Styles versus Rob Van Dam.

One arguable example that wasn't on here was Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant at Shea Stadium in 1980. Counting WrestleMania III, of course, we got TWO matches out of them, but the true dream match between them would've probably happened in 1984 or '85. As it was, the two of them traded both wins and face/heel alignments between the two matches.

[@scootinand]

When Sting was in WWE, they should have main evented Survivor Series in a 5 on 5 match with him and Taker as captains, with the stipulation that if their team lost they would have to retire. Would have protected both older guys (not that Sting needed it as badly as Taker did at that point) by putting them in a tag situation where they could rest, and they could send Taker out on the show he debuted on

If Bret was inspired while working there he'd of made Hulk look like a billion dollars and, dare I say it, IF Hogan had laid down for the Hitman it wouldn't of hurt Hulk that much. Just leave Bret in the drivers seat and there would of been magic.
