10 Dream Wrestling Matches Fans Just Missed Out On

9. Beth Phoenix vs. Kharma

Beth Phoenix vs Kharma Formerly known as Awesome Kong in TNA, Kia Stevens left a huge impression on people for her series of matches opposite Gail Kim in the promotion, one which was rightly credited for taking women's wrestling more seriously than WWE. Eventually, Stevens would sign for WWE in late-2010, but wouldn't make her debut until the following May. Redubbed 'Kharma', the sizeable woman was cast as an intimidating beast who was only there to destroy the Barbie-doll Divas. This would have been a perfect time for Beth Phoenix, known as "The Glamazon" to strike up in defence of her division, facing Kharma in a series of bouts which surely would have rivaled the Kong vs. Kim ones. Sadly, Kharma wouldn't make too many appearances after announcing she was pregnant in late-May, and she'd be gone from WWE by 2012. Similarly, Phoenix herself would leave the company later that same year, meaning fans were robbed of the chance to see these two female powerhouses go at it.
