The dream match.....
Whenever wrestling folks talk about the "dream match" they always talk about Undertaker VS. Sting. Should have happened. Didn't happen.
Personally I don't think that would have been THAT great of a match.... when I think about all the great names of wrestling - most of which we've now had immortalized in our action figures - there are literally TONS of other matches that would have been great, but due to Time, Age, or Circumstances..... we will never get to see.
Thought I'd make a fun thread, display some of my figures (new, custom-fixes, and old).... and maybe create some fun discussion topics! I also learned that I SUCK at staging actual wrestling moves/matches for photos. The people I've seen posting figure-matches online MUST be using some sort of voodoo or Chris Jericho wizardry - because I can't get these things to stay in place to save my life! But I still wanted to make a fun thread.... so here we go!
So here is the inaugural "Flair Forever Fantasy Figure Matchup" thread!
John Cena VS. "Ravishing" Rick Rude - WWE World Championship
John Cena was one of the WWE's greatest babyface champions! Wouldn't it have been amazing to see him defend that spinner championship belt against one of wrestling's meanest heels, Ravishing Rick Rude? To me, these two are quite opposite as far as personalities go.... but their in-ring styles would have made for an amazing match!
WINNER: "Ravishing" Rick Rude
I'm going to say that Ravishing Rick Rude would have found a way to cheat Cena.... just because I would have loved to see Rude sport that spinner belt! Imagine the heat!
Big Van Vader VS. Goldberg - WCW World Championship
The irresistible force meets the immovable object! This would be pretty unpredictable - but I can assure you it would be hard-hitting..... and very possible that someone gets hurt!
While Vader would give Goldberg the beating of his life.... I've gotta think Goldberg would rally here and get the victory!
Winner: Goldberg
"Macho Man" Randy Savage VS. The Rock
Imagine the promos these two would have delivered leading up to this confrontation of two of wrestling's most charismatic performers ever!
Before the match started - I'm quite sure there would have been some shenanigans revolving around Savage's wardrobe.....
And the Macho Man would not have been too happy about that!
In the end, I've gotta say that this would be a very close match and that Macho would bring his A-Game - but in the end, The Rock gets the win!
WINNER: The Rock
Title VS. Title: WWF Champion Shawn Michaels VS. WCW Champion Sting
Forget about Undertaker - THIS is the Sting match that I always wanted to see! This would be a classic back & forth struggle to unify the WWF & WCW titles.... I like both competitors here, but I really think it would have been cool to see Sting hold that Winged Eagle WWF Championship just one time......
WINNER: Sting
WWF Intercontinental Championship: AJ Styles VS. Mr Perfect
Styles VS. Perfect would have been a pure technical masterpiece! This epic match surely would have gone over twenty minutes, with Heenan doing a little cheating - and Perfect hitting that Perfect-Plex out of nowhere!
WINNER: Mr. Perfect
WCW Championship: "Nature Boy" Ric Flair VS. Shinsuke Nakamura
You all know I've seen a LOT of Ric Flair matches.... I would LOVE to see a prime Ric Flair to toe-to-toe against Shinsuke Nakamura!
I know that this would be a show-stealer..... but c'mon. Look at my profile. You know who I'm going with right here.
WINNER: Ric Flair
Ultimate Warrior VS. "The Tribal Chief" Roman Reigns
No, this probably wouldn't be a technical marvel like some of the other matches here.... Warrior would cut some wacky promos.... The Tribal Chief would threaten to end Warrior's legacy for good. I do think these two could tell an interesting story in the ring - Warrior would start out dominant but Reigns would wear him down over time and eventually pull out the win & continue his loooong title reign.
Winner: Roman Reigns
"Hollywood" Hulk Hogan VS. Stone Cold Steve Austin
I guess we ALMOST got this match back when Hulk Hogan returned to the WWE following WCW's fall..... but for whatever reason, WWE couldn't put the pieces together to make it happen.
I wish they would have found a way! Rock VS. Hogan was EPIC.... and I think Austin VS. Hogan could have been equally fun!
I imagine this would start out with some jaw-jacking between Hogan & Austin..... who is the greatest draw in WWE history?
Crowd would have been electric when these two Icons stepped into the ring!
Hogan would have taken an early advantage, cheating, hitting Austin with the weight belt, etc.... but Austin would certainly rally to "stomp a mud-hold" all over Hogan....
And then he'd hit the stunner to get the win!
"Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!" I'd push for Jim Ross to please call this match....
WINNER: Stone Cold Steve Austin
If you made it this far.... thanks for following! I had a lot of fun dusting off some of my older figs & trying to make something different than my normal bitching & complaining on here!
