What match do you think would draw the most or get the best reactions? Both live and on the net, if it were booked in the current age.

Hart/Michaels would be the best match, but Austin/Hogan would draw more.

SCSA vs Hogan is probably the biggest and largest dream match ever.

SCSA vs. Hogan
Hogan will draw more than any other person individually, and Stone Cold would ensure that it'd be more.
Bret vs. Shawn would likely be second, if only for the history of the match. In the current age, it wouldn't be a good match, but it'd still likely draw well.
Cena vs. Rock would draw well, but I don't think either really has the power to outdo the other matchups.

Snitsky V. Booger.
As a matter of fact, that oughta be the Wrestlemania 24 main event. And sadly enough, I'm not kidding.

Stone Cold vs. Hogan.
I was about to say Hart-Michaels, but then I realized they hate each other too much to a) let the other get the win b) put on a good match.

At this point Hogan Vs. Austin only interests me because of fascination. I'm sure wrestling-wise it would be terrible, but I think the crowd reaction would be fantastic to witness. I'm kind of wondering if Hogan would be cheered and Austin would be booed.

I'd go with Hogan vs. Austin. It's the old school vs. new school match at it's epitome... moreso than Hogan vs. Rock or any other old vs. new match we've been pitched. The man who ruled wrestling in the 80's, only to fall out in the 90's vs. the man who ruled wrestling in the 90's only to call in the 2000's. For a good bit of fans, it's one of their childhood heroes vs. their teenage-early working years anti-hero. It's the only match that I think would seriously draw in the casual crowd.
Oh, and despite what anyone else says, The Rock vs. Cena is easily number two. Granted, no matter where they went or how they booked it, The Rock would be face. Still, there'd be a good bit of fans cheering for both.
HBK vs. Hart never drew incredibly well and even if Bret had it in him to hang with HBK and the two became friendly enough to let it all hang out, I still don't see it drawing that great. It's basically only a dream match to hardcore wrestling fans (those who watched in '97). To others it's just the stuff of legend and has been played out countless times in countless feds. (Vince with Rock/Foley at Sur Ser '98... Russo with Piper and Hart/Goldberg in WCW)...
Snitsky vs. Booger on the other hand could be a rootin' tootin' 5*, catch-as-catch-can pier six match dreams are made of. I'm usually not a huge fan of gimmicks for such mega matchups, but a Kiss My Foot Stipulation would be epic. Especially if the match then went to some sort of Double Countout or DQ and both men insisted the other kiss their feet. (Ala Homer/Ned both wearing dresses to mow their lawns on the Simpsons)

Rock vs. Cena is the only one of those that I could see happening.

Hogan v Austin, by a mile. The two biggest Icons in pro-wrestling.
Hart v Michaels would draw well too, and it'd be easier to book, thanks to the history behind it.
Both matches would last forever though, as nobody would be willing to take the pinfall.
In terms of actual ringwork, Cena v Rock is the only feasable match.... Austin and Hogan are very limited and Bret couldn't take a pillow shot.

I think Rock-Cena would be awesome. All the rest will never happen. It reminds me of SD! vs Raw 2006 in Challenge Mode with the Rock vs Rap challenge.

good thread...this got me thinking about how ASTRONOMICAL the atendane and buyrate could have been has WWF and WCW worked out something in mid 1998 to do GOLDBERG AUSTIN....holy mother of god...between the size of the overall wrestling audience then and the appeal of those two going at it, i bet it would stand as the record for all time to come for buyrates

it depends : if it's in Canada, then HBK/Bret would draw better...if it's in the USA, then Stone Cold/Hogan

That's the same scenario with Hogan-Austin. Stone Cold just doesn't seem to be interested in a match with the Hulkster. And I think he still hates him for holding him down in WCW.

I gotta say as a flat out draw Cena/Rock would be the biggest. It would get the mainstream attention and would definatly generate the most cash. 5 years ago Hogan/Austin would've been the biggest draw, but other than the hardcore fans, I don't know if the interest is there anymore. I love both Austin and Hogan but even I don't really wanna see that match at this point in time. I just don't think it's be pretty as both are limited in what they can do these days

Rather see Bret vs Shawn 2, but I dont think it would draw very well cause half the fans these days dont even know who bret is.
