Wrestling dream matches are the things my school days were wasted thinking of and talking of, as I was in secondary school the Monday night wars was starting to turn WWF's way with them finally breaking the ratings hold of the WCW, and wrestling was slowly to become a monopoly once again. Back then once match screamed out at me and my buddy's as one we'd love to see, and one, perhaps, we should have seen a few years later.

Bill Goldberg V Stone Cold Steve Austin, what a contest that would have been around 1999-2001. The reason this match appealed? Well at the time both men were their company's lead guy, the reason the company drew they crowds they did. But most importantly they looked (physically) like clones, both bold headed 6foot 5 ish (might have been 2 inches either way) similar beard and similar attire. This was the fight all school boys my age wanted to see, like Tyson-Holyfield in 1990 this was the big one that had to happen...but didn't (yes I know Tyson and Holyfield fought twice, but by then Tyson wasn't the same fighter).
This would have been a fun high power brawling almost fight where I'm unsure on which baldy would have won.

But what about something technical, how about an 8 man tag team match:
Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Ricky Steamboat against Rick Flair, Chris Jericho, Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson. What a fight this would have been a real technical battle where the guys would be showing off every hold in the book, then writing a new 20 volume book on how to do new holds and things people never thought of. This would be a great 50-50 contest which would have seen personal wars all over with those that remember the Flair-Steamboat and Angle-Benoit rivalries knowing exactly what I mean. One thing that would be certain would be that someone would be submitting.

A sick side of me also wanted to see Mark Henry powerbombed through a HIAC cage, so how about we give the Big Show the job in a hell in a cell match against him. Ok it'd be a dire fight, but just to see the ring explode as Henry crashes through it would be worth watching repeatedly. Mick Foley's fall would no longer be the most famous, but when it's beaten by a ring smasher it's worth it.

The Heart Foundation V The Von Erichs would be a spectacle and a half, two of the greatest factions ever fighting against each other. Youth, athletic ability, speed, power and technique would be mixed brilliantly to give us one of the greatest shows on earth. Sadly neither family has had much luck in wrestling in the last 25 years with the Von Erich family all but destroyed and the Heart family curse seemingly wiping them out, wrestling's two big family's are now more folk-lore than modern day sensations.

Talking about faction wars the final fight I'd love to have seen would have been the NWO V DX in the late 90's. The true fight of WWF/WCW and the reason that the Monday Night wars swung to WCW eventually...and the reason why WWE eventually won, DX revolutionised the idea that the now had started. Though sadly with the now it got too big, and WCW was run too poorly, whilst DX seemed rather limited in members and was ran as a close knit bunch of mates. This would have been something that would have done everything, but I feel DX's youth would have shown they were the ruder, cruder bunch of thugs.
