Steve Austin versus Bret Hart, Steve Austin versus The Rock, and The Undertaker versus Kane.

As the monday night wars continued to rage, so did the dream matches. We saw the likes of Ric Flair versus Hulk Hogan, Sting versus Ric Flair, Randy Savage versus Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin versus Vince McMahon, The Undertaker versus Mankind, Kevin Nash versus The Big Show, then known as The Giant in a battle of the big men, Scott Hall versus Larry Zbyzko in a rematch dating back from as early as the AWA year of 1985 and Big Van Vader versus Shawn Michaels.

Another one that often goes amiss is The Steiner Brother versus The Road Warriors, which took place on a WCW Nitro event in the 90's. These two teams are two of the most recognised and iconic in the sport because they were active not only in America, but they also toured regularly across Japan, yet the amount of times they faced each other can be counted on one hand. The match however goes amiss due to the timeline and the lack of hype it received; it was during the time when the nWo was set to take over the world of television. In 2001 however the feud was to be rekindled; with Road Warrior Hawk out with an injury and set to return in September 2001, backstage, Animal and the freshly reunited Steiner Brothers were bringing forth plans for the first ever Road Warriors versus Steiner Brothers feud, however, their plans were cut short as in March 2001, WCW was bought out by the rival WWF putting an end to the 6 years of Monday night wars.

ECW was also putting on amazing shows night in and night out. They threw together amazing dream matches left, right and centre. The likes of Jerry Lynn versus Rob Van Dam, Sabu versus Rob Van Dam, Tommy Dreamer versus The Sandman, The Sandman versus Raven, Raven versus Tommy Dreamer and Shane Douglas versus Taz. Shortly after however, ECW had gone bankrupt. This gave the WWF the chance to throw together hundreds of dream matches, many of which actually took place. The likes of Booker T versus The Rock, Steve Austin versus Scott Hall, Ric Flair versus Vince McMahon, Curt Hennig versus Rob Van Dam and KroniK, Bryan Clark and Brian Adams versus Kane and The Undertaker are among the immense list of interpromotional dream matches that came to pass.

TNA bought in innovative styles and threw them together to create the ultimate dream match conception and many of them came to pass as the years went on. Some of them recently. The likes of Sting versus Abyss and Booker T versus Samoa Joe are recent
