Are there any "dream matches" left?

[Raja Lion]

Back during the War and even prior to that era, there was always talk of dream matchups, i.e. Austin vs Goldberg, etc. Obviously now with Vince pretty much dominating the landscape, are there any big money matches left in the business that can occur now?

There are matchups that can be made obviously, but IMO none of the big money dream matchups that we used to all pine for.

I've been thinking about this for the past half hour or so and I cannot come up with one of those type of matches in my head now. They've either happened or have no chance of happening due to death/left the business/age/etc.

Dixie Carter Vs. Stephanie McMahon

Taker/Sting

With the current roster? Not really.

I mean, there are certainly plenty of "big" matches they could do, especially at WrestleMania - Cena/Taker, Jericho/Taker, Trips/Taker ("legend vs. legend"), Edge/Christian, Edge/Matt, Punk/Matt, Rey/Trips - but I don't think there's much they can do to really bring in an audience that doesn't normally watch already.

However, if we're expanding this to guys who aren't currently on the roster, then of course, there are plenty of "dream" matches left:
- Rock/Cena
- Rock/Shawn
- Shawn/Morrison
- Goldberg/Taker
- Goldberg/Cena
- Goldberg/Batista
- Brock/Cena
- Brock/Batista
- Brock/Taker
- Austin/Hogan
- Hogan/Cena
- Shawn/Jeff (ladder match?)
- Angle/Taker
- Sting/Taker
- Sting/Trips
- Sting/Cena

And maybe not "dream" matches, but certainly some big possibilities:
- RVD/Punk (4:20 vs. SES)
- Jeff/Punk
- Foley/Jeff (hardcore)
- Foley/RVD (hardcore)
- Angle/Swagger
- Angle/Goldberg
- And certainly anything featuring some of the "non-mainstream" TNA stars (AJ, Joe, Daniels, Pope, etc.) could add some real flavor to the card, even if it's not something that will help the buy-rate a ton.

Yea not really

[jamielowndes {N}]

Not really due to the lack of top tier stars the WWE has created in recent times. Id love to see HBK and Sting in there.

[leilaorton]

I want to see the rock in one more match! and stone cold! that would be awesome! say old school vs new school! a tag team match, with the rock and stone cold vs john cena and randy orton.. that would rock my world!!

[The Winter Soldier]

There's not that much people on the roster to create a dream match, so that's a no.

[Young Game]

I've said it before, I'll say it again:

Kenta Kobashi vs. Undertaker.

[A Dubya (El Hombre Muerto)]

Only ones I could even think of would be Kurt Angle vs Bret Hart and Undertaker vs Sting. Neither will ever happen due to obvious reasons though.

This match would be horrible now. Kobashi is risking use of his arms with every match, and 'Taker needs to be with someone who can sell to hell (pun intended) and back. 5 years ago, this match would get 8 stars, but not any more.

[Phil Parent]

In the same "Too Late Tough s***" vein as Kobashi VS Taker...

Chono VS Taker
Chono VS Austin (Happened, I know)
Chono VS Rock
Chono VS Hogan (Also happened)
Chono VS HHH
Chono VS HBK
Chono VS Jericho (Did happen in WCW)

WWE should have definitively brought in Chono at some point.

[Phil Parent]

How about Tanahashi VS Jericho?

[Alex Shelley]

Taker/Sting, dammit!

Although on a much smaller scale I do believe that Edge vs Christian at Wrestlemania is a dream match for many people, probably including them. I know it seems like they're having early considerations for the two of them at WM27 but I'd honestly prefer it if they waited until WM28, while pushing the living hell out of both of them to make it as big as possible. That, to me, is a dream matchup.

[Professor Chaos]

I wanna see RVD/Punk. That's about all I can think of that hasn't already happened unless The Rock or Austin could come back in their prime.

[peltier]

Cena/Undertaker, WM 27.

[Deleted]

Muta vs. Undertaker. Both of them are really banged up, but they can both work a crowd and make a match seem better than it actually is.

Chono would be great in the WWE. I don't have a clue why they didn't go after him hard, especially seeing as he speaks English.

This. A million f***ing times this. It could either be Mutoh or Muta, it would just be an instant classic. James Andrews would make a killing from working on their knees afterwards, though.

[The Verdict]

Shawn Michaels vs. The Rock (which will never happen) and Austin vs. Hogan (which will never happen) are the only dream matches I care about anymore. But before Shawn left I wanted a HBK vs. CM Punk feud but that never happened...
