WWE Dream Matches, Part One

This will be the first in a series of entries detailing my WWE dream matches. This one will focus on matches bringing the best in one-on-one in-ring action. Later entries will focus on brawl oriented matches and also tag team matches. Keep in mind, I am writing this as though all wrestlers are in the prime of the careers.

Kurt Angle vs. Mr. Perfect
Kurt Angle and the late Mr. Perfect had a few things in common when it came to professional wrestling: arrogance, charisma and great technical wrestling skills. Mr. Perfect is already in the WWE Hall of Fame and one day Kurt Angle will be also. A program between these two would have legendary bombastic banter. After all, one was perfect and the other was your Olympic hero. As good as the mic work wold have been for these two, the in-ring action would have been better. If you are a fan of technical wrestling with reversals and submissions and simple holds used as significant moves in the match, then this would have been a match for you. A pinnacle for a feud between Mr. Perfect and Kurt Angle would definitely be a 60-minute ironman match. Allowing those two men to showcase pure in-ring talent in a match which requires to physical conditioning and ring general ability would be nothing less than epic.


CM Punk vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage
There is just something about these two characters which just screams for them to have a match. The contrasting personalities would provide entertaining trash talk. (Imagine Punk mimicking Randy Savage!) And Punk is very much a student of the business. He has not only mastered the aspects of in-ring action but he took it upon himself to learn about the production side of things as well. Randy Savage was very similar in his approach to the business. He believed in the importance of knowing and trusting your opponent and discussing and working on match ideas right up until the entrance music played. Remember his epic match with Ricky Steamboat? CM Punk and Randy Savage would have taken the same approach to a match. They would have traveled together and watched the other's previous matches and been in each other's ear constantly to piece together a match for the ages.

The Rock vs. Shawn Michaels
You could debate for three straight days about which matches in these superstars careers were his best. The Rock and Shawn Michaels were two of the all time best on the mic and also two of the all time best in the ring. Just the mic skills alone would make this one hell of an entertaining feud. The Rock's cocky attitude and goofy humor going up against the just as cocky Shawn Michaels but with a drier sense of humor and Michael's willingness to make fun of himself would give audiences some of the most entertaining banter of all time. The in-ring action would also be epic. Shawn is referred to by many people as the best of all time for good reason. His matches with Triple H, Ric Flair, Undertaker, Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho are among the best matches of all time. The Rock has also had epic encounters with Triple H, Stone Cold, Undertaker and Mick Foley. Both men know how entertain a crowd either with the mic or in the ring. And this would be an Wrestlemania main event no one would ever forget.


Part one of my WWE dream matches is in the books. The next installment in this series will feature my choices for brawl oriented matches (Hell in a Cell, Last Man Standing, etc). And will hopefully be ready in a couple weeks. Until then, please check back for other entries on music, movies and food. Thanks for reading and remember, if you cannot be a poet, be the poem.
