10 Dream WrestleMania Matches (That Might Actually Happen!)
Unfortunately, the Velveteen Dream doesn't show up.
Among the internet wrestling community, if we can label it as such anymore, the term "dream match" has become somewhat of a constant among the top discussions between fans. Right up there with fantasy re-booking, complaining, and trying to predict what the hell Vince McMahon will do next, dreaming up the 'perfect match-ups' has been a staple of wrestling fans since the Monday Night Wars.
Back in the days of WWF vs. WCW, fans of both shows would've killed to see 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin vs. Goldberg, Sting vs. The Undertaker, and nWo vs. DX. Mouths would water over the prospect of seeing impossible matches take place, which is why the Invasion angle was so massive when it happened. Finally, matches like 'The Rock' vs. Hulk Hogan were possible. A year after the shine dulled and it all ended, but still.
Nowadays, WWE's roster is so expansive and talent-filled that countless dream matches are already available within Vince McMahon's walls. Between the opposing brands, exclusive part-timers, and some hopeful returns, WWE has the potential to set up some of the biggest matches in professional wrestling history as soon as WrestleMania 35.
Let's see just how lucky us wrestling fans are after all...
10. Daniel Bryan Vs. Kurt Angle
Can anyone try imagining a more perfect WrestleMania opener than 'The Wrestling Machine' vs. 'The American Dragon'?
Daniel Bryan has spent well over a decade honing his craft and becoming one of the greatest professional wrestlers on the planet. His technical ability is parallel to none (in WWE) and he consistently manages to put on some of the most entertaining matches out there, even now in WWE after an extended retirement.
Sound familiar? While Angle's work hasn't exactly been able to live up to the hype since he returned to the ring last year, when he was at his peak, his pure in-ring talent was undeniable. Picking up the ins-and-outs of the business almost immediately, Angle forced his way to the top through sheer skill and work-rate - something Daniel Bryan managed to do without any proper support from WWE itself.
With the similar backgrounds and the men having a potential story with them both being former General Managers of their respective brands, this match could end up being the most ultimate friendly competition out there.
